Shower Ministry
Hours of Operation:
Our shower ministry is open on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon and from 5:00 –6:00 pm on Thursday evenings.
Criteria:
There is no criteria for a person wanting to take a shower other than they sign a “waiver of responsibility” form before they enter. They are encouraged, however, to limit their showers to twenty minutes in order to conserve water.
What Does A Person Get Other Than a Shower?
Upon entering to take a shower, a person receives a toiletry pack which contains soap, washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, and comb. They also are given a towel, new pair of underwear and a new pair of athletic socks. The only item they are asked to leave behind is the towel, which they place in a barrel to be washed at a later date.
Where Do the Items Needed For These Ministries Come From?
Toiletry items for the shower ministry are donated (list of needs), but for the most part, items must be purchased when the donations are exhausted. Underwear, socks, and washcloths are purchased whenever funds are available through monetary donations.
 Volunteer Opportunities:
We need Saturday workers in both ministries. Someone to pick up and wash towels from shower ministry each week. People to help make toiletry packs which will be distributed in the food pantry and shower ministry.
