White Glove Linen, a minority-owned commercial laundry service, has secured a $350,000 loan through the South Florida Regional Planning Council’s (SFRPC) CARES Act Revolving Loan Fund. The funding will support the purchase of new industrial laundry equipment, allowing the business to expand operations and meet growing demand from local hotels and resorts.

The CARES Act RLF, administered by SFRPC, provides critical financing to help stabilize and grow small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than offering debt forgiveness or grants, the program delivers long-term capital to support business continuity, job retention, and regional economic recovery.

To date, SFRPC has approved 36 loans totaling more than $7.86 million, helping create or retain over 351 jobs across South Florida. The White Glove Linen loan underscores the program’s commitment to supporting minority-owned businesses and strengthening key sectors like hospitality.
