With another shower program in SLO operating four days a week ("Shower the People)" we were duplicating services...so in our fifth year of providing close to 6,000 showers to our unhoused guests who had no other way to get clean, we have closed down operations at the United Church of Christ location on Los Osos Valley Road. We thank "Shower the People" for continuing a shower program!
805 OUTREACH IN NORTH COUNTY IS TAKING OVER OUR SHOWER PROGRAM! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS...
We thank our generous donors, 39 partners & 16 dedicated volunteers;

Ever since COVID began, our 12 outreach volunteers have been hitting the streets passing out necessities - nylon sleeping bags (Big 5 has TAOS bags for under $20); tents, tarps, backpacks, and gift cards for grocery stores or restaurants.
