April Showers

It's more than a hot shower. It's a matter of dignity.

During peak use, our shower trailer provides 40 showers each day. Each 10-minute shower can consume around 25 gallons of water. That can mean 9,000 showers and therefore approximately 225,000 gallons of water are used each year.

In order to sustain the shower program, every day we provide:
  • fresh towels
  • clean pairs of underwear for men and women
  • shower sandals
  • soap and shampoo
  • toothpaste and toothbrushes
  • as well as other personal hygiene items

Those are important items. But most importanly, our shower trailer provides dignity to each person who uses this service.

Your donation will help us defray the cost of running the shower program so that we can sustain hot showers for anyone who needs one, and to continue to provide that sense of dignity.

Thank you!
