Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Human Services
Mission: Everyone deserves access to showers, and until that is true we will provide mobile shower facilities and hygiene items to those in need. Our focus will be on providing showers to those with the most barriers and most limited access to shower facilities throughout davidson county. Shower the people will be providing showers through our retrofitted mobile school bus during evenings and on the weekends when shower access is most limited. We are working in partnership with several outreach organizations to create and adjust routes as needed to ensure those with the greatest need are able to access our services. Shower the people will be utilizing individual and corporate volunteers through hands on nashville, and hope to engage over 500 volunteers throughout the year. Volunteers will assist with packaging hygiene kits, checking individuals in for showers, assist with cleaning/resetting showers after each use, laundry, & hygiene drives. Volunteers are the backbone of our organization.
Programs: Continued work on retro fitting the donated school bus with showers and restrooms. Began collection of hygiene supplies for those in need including 500 dental hygiene kits, 200 travel toothpaste, 2000 bars of soap, and 20 "bathroom in a bag" backpacks.
