Recovery Supports

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.

Street Outreach
Net of Compassion strives to help individuals struggling with substance use disorder and poverty in the Worcester, Massachusetts region. Our volunteers offer prayer, encouragement, relapse prevention counseling, and in some cases Narcan intervention. By developing strong, trusting relationships with people that are not currently accessing traditional services we can overcome the barriers and help connect them with long term recovery services.

Peer Recovery Support
Many Net of Compassion volunteers have personal experience with long term recovery. Peer volunteers that are sober connect with our clients through our food and clothing pantry as well as Saturday Lunches to Go. Peers may assist with support efforts such as transportation to recovery meetings, one-on-one counseling, faith-based counseling, and prayer. As a faith-based organization, we care about spiritual needs as well as physical and emotional needs.

Detox and Shelter Bed Acquisition
Net of Compassion helps people that are ready to get off the streets and into recovery programs and housing. Volunteers will work diligently to find an available bed in a detox facility, a half-way house, or independent living. During the months when Hotel Grace is in operation, anyone can call our main number (508-322-1363) and inquiry about bed availability at the shelter.
