About Our Auction

Our online auction goes live on Thursday, October 3oth at 6am through Sunday, November 2nd at 5pm, with awesome gift baskets from our local community supporters. Auction preview open now at: www.32auctions.com/lod2025
What started as an auction to help Loads of Dignity reach our $5,000 matching goal quickly turned into something even greater, thanks to our incredible community. We met the match before the auction even began! Your support reminds us how strong we are when we come together. Each bid now helps us continue providing free laundry days, clean clothes, and restored confidence and Dignity for our neighbors in need. Together, we’re keeping the washers running and dignity alive…one load at a time.
About Loads of Dignity

We are a nonprofit that has been offering a service to the homeless and low-income community in the Bitterroot Valley since 2019. We offer them the opportunity to wash their clothing and bedding for free. We provide quarters, laundry detergent, and fabric softener. In addition to free washing, we provide hygiene bags for adults and activity/hygiene bags for children. With a housing shortage, we are seeing more and more growth in the homeless population in our valley.
Our mission is to “Restore Dignity one load at a time.” When an individual or family is homeless, dignity is lost. With our services, feelings of self-worth, self-esteem, and dignity can be restored. Children can go to school with clean clothing, have showered, and not become targets for bullying. Fewer days will be missed at school, and test scores and friendships will improve.
Establishing relationships, offering a nonjudgmental atmosphere, and showing compassion complete the goal of dignity for all guests, no matter where they live.

Afterglow - Solo Exhibition by Colt Idol

There are evanescent moments in the West when everything slows. The sky holds its color a little longer, and light falls over the land, making everything shine with life. That’s the feeling Colt Idol captures. It’s the moment in time where the world is a bit calmer, and the West shines a little brighter. The color may be soft or searing, the subject familiar or new, but each of Colt’s paintings holds that unmistakable energy that happens just after the light starts to go. It’s the West, not in motion, but at rest. This show celebrates that moment. The one that comes just after, when everything feels sharp and still. We call this Afterglow. Please join us for Idol’s live painting demonstration in the gallery on Friday, November 7, 2-4 PM. The artist reception will also be on Friday, November 7, from 5-7 PM.
