How we “ROLL” at Showering Love
Showering love provides approximately 125 showers a week to those experiencing homelessness. Fortunately, donations are always coming in and we are constantly in need of extra helping hands. We meet every first Saturday of the month, between 9:00am – 12:00pm. Thankfully, we have many kind and caring people that come together to help us organize donations. There are several high school and college students, organized groups, and people of all ages that take part, and we hope you will consider joining us. We promise you’ll leave with your heart full of love knowing that you’ve helped those experiencing homelessness, that are in great need.
Every month we have different projects and things to do. This keeps it exciting, as there are always new and different things on the horizon! We can assure you, it is always a fun and rewarding experience. Here are some of the things we do:
- Fold, organize, and ROLL t-shirts and undergarments
- Organize hygiene and other essential items
- Fill bags and/or baskets of donated items
- Work as a team with a wonderful group & have a blast!
