Summer Showers | Access to WaterWe’re on a mission to educate, uplift, and empower by creating hot showers for those without daily access to water.
Our Summer Showers program aims to change the stigma around the issue of the unhoused and homelessness, and bring the experiences out of the shadows. When you help provide showers for those in need, you’re helping restore dignity, confidence, and opportunity. Each guest receives shampoo, soap, hygiene kit, a towel, and 15 minutes of privacy. The most important part of mobile hygiene is not simply giving guests a shower–it is the way the unhoused guests are treated. |
