Shower Ministry
The Holy Spirit Shower Ministry is providing showers for Safe Car Parks in church parking lots in Santa Clara County. Many of the men and women in this program continue to work during the pandemic, but are not earning enough to afford the rent of a room or apartment. Instead, they are stay in their cars in the safety of a church parking lot. All guests are screened and assigned to a licensed social worker.
Holy Spirit provides shower monitors on Wednesday nights, help with laundry, and occasional transport. Tom Tate is our coordinator. If you would like to get more information on how you can help with this new ministry, contact Tom at ttate14@gmail.com.
The shower trailer previously provided showers to the women guests for our Village House rotating shelter. It has been reborn and repurposed by the participating churches. The shower trailer is operating (on rotation) at Christ the Good Shepard Church, Our lady of Refuge, and St. Timothy.
