Showered With Hope, Inc.

Our organization’s goal is to transform decommissioned transit buses into eco-friendly, mobile shower houses available for anyone experiencing homelessness to use free of charge. We also aim to provide necessary toiletries such as, but not limited to: soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and clean clothes. Our mission will not only extend beyond supplementary goods and services, but we also plan to include potential employment opportunities for these individuals.

It’s not just about being physically clean, but also about having a “clean slate” - being able to change one’s life if given the right tools. Showers can forge a new sense of dignity, which could ultimately lead to opportunities and self-sufficiency. Our aim is not just to helps those on the street, but to help them help themselves off of the streets. We don’t expect that our service will end homelessness, but each person we are able to help, is one less person who goes hungry on the streets at night.
