Who We Are
Our Mission
Shower Power is more than a shower. We believe that following Jesus through serving others can transform people and the world. We bring hospitality to the streets by delivering hygiene services to people experiencing homelessness. It's about taking time to show people you care and restoring their dignity by providing them with the resources they need for self care. We love people back to life!
Our Vision
To cultivate a community where every person is seen, valued, and restored through compassionate service, radical hospitality, and the transforming love of Jesus.
After spending a lot of time with a homeless person who became my friend, I asked, "Benny, how long has it been since you've had a shower?" His response, "About a year, Miss Teresa."
When I left Benny that day, my mind was racing. Walking up the steps to our house, the idea hit me of the need for A MOBILE SHOWER unit! So the process started right away.
I went back few days later to visit Benny and told him my idea. He was SO HAPPY. He said, "More than food, I need a shower."
Shower Power is more than a shower. We want to bring hospitality to the streets by delivering hygiene services to people experiencing homelessness. It's about taking time to show people that you care and restoring dignity by providing resources needed for self-care.
The homeless face many challenges, one being the difficulty in getting access to a shower. Even if they can get to a shelter, the shelter may not have a shower available.
