SHOWER UP
Mission Statement
ShowerUp builds community, elevates dignity, ignites hope, and demonstrates God's love by providing mobile showers, mobile laundry and personal care to those in need. ShowerUp serves the homeless community in Nashville, Chicago, Huntsville, Chattanooga, Wichita, Tampa Bay and Memphis. Our mobile shower and laundry outreach serves thousands every month. Our friends receive a private, clean, hot shower and everything they need for a great experience. We also use our mobile laundry unit with 8 washers and dryers to give them the dignity of having clean clothes. Through our outreach we have helped people get and keep jobs, find help for addiction, reconnect with family and friends, and connect to housing resources. This year we will provide over 20,000 showers and 5,000 loads of laundry.
