10 YEARS
55,000+ SHOWERS
We drive our shower trailer to six established sites every week. With each shower our guests receive a freshly laundered towel and washcloth, a pair of new cotton socks, a pair of new underwear, hygiene items and limited emergency clothing.
We also offer companionship, conversation, and contact with other homeless service providers. Our services are entirely free and access is unconditional to all people who are without a home or are in temporary or unstable housing.
What Can I Do?
Anyone can make a big difference:
One of the questions we ask some of our shower clients after their shower is
“How do you feel now?” The answers have been amazing:
“I feel like a human again.”
“It’s amazing how much better a single shower can make you feel.”
“Real, I can look for ways to make my life better now.”
