Every day in America, thousands of kids miss school because they lack one thing: clean clothes. And kids who regularly miss school are 7 times more likely to drop out. As the brand that celebrates the value of everyday care (i.e. cooking, cleaning and washing), Whirlpool created the Care Counts program to see if something as important as school attendance could be impacted by something as simple as laundry.

Already in 150 schools across 40 states, Whirlpool is committed to expanding the Care Counts Laundry Program to all 50 states and doubling the number of participating schools by 2028
