Helping the Healdsburg Community One Shower at a Time

 

St. Paul's has always been a place of active ministry. Our Shower Ministry and food outreach programs are open three days a week (see our calendar for the most up-to-date days and hours of operation), and we provide an additional location for emergency shelter during inclement weather. If you'd like to help us ensure these ministries are sustainable into the future, all donations are gratefully received.

 

Items Needed:

This program is dependent on contributions from the community.

Water, men's and women's white crew-length socks, donations of small sizes of soap, shampoo, lotion etc. are always greatly appreciated.

 

Daytime Showers Available:

Sign in at the church office to pick up a towel, soap, toiletries, socks and snack, etc . The schedule for shower is as follows:

Tuesday: 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Wednesday: 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Friday: 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

 

Volunteer Duties with the Shower Ministry:

Check in clients and hand out towels & toiletries. Volunteer shifts are 3 hours each, morning 10-1 and afternoon 1-4. There is a regular team in place who work once a week on a specific day and time. However, there always is need of substitutes to help fill in when vacancies occur. Volunteers are also needed to help with washing of the towels.
