OUR INITIATIVES
Showers of Hope
Everyone deserves barrier-free access to personal hygiene and health. In partnership with the Kohler Company, Street Angels has brought a state-of-the-art, 3-stall mobile shower trailer directly to the streets of Milwaukee!
Shower Operations
The mobile shower trailer will operate two days a week, four hours each day, in areas experiencing high rates of poverty and homelessness. Everyone is welcome, including:
- Individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness
- Those lacking access to showers at home
- People who are struggling with utility bills
- Individuals requiring ADA-compliant facilities
At Showers of Hope, each guest is served with dignity and respect.
Guests will be provided with a private shower, towels, washcloths, hygiene items, bag lunches, snacks, water, and a bus ticket.
MORE THAN JUST HYGIENE
HEALTH
Showers are vital for personal hygiene and overall health. They help to reduce the risk of skin infections, promote wound healing, and prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
CONNECTION
Just like nourishment, people need human connection to thrive. Through our outreach, we offer more than just a shower; we provide a moment of dignity, respect, and empathy.
DIGNITY
A simple act like showering can restore a person’s sense of self-worth. The Showers Of Hope program provides a private and clean space for individuals to reclaim their dignity.
COMMUNITY
Through Street Angels, access AODA resources, legal resources, housing resources, haircuts, street counseling, and relationship building.
Your support is vital to our mission of providing essential services to those experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
Showers are a human right!
