Introduction of Guest Speaker
Kalleen Corley representing “Shower The People” spoke on the important work they were doing in SLO. About Shower the People
Our vision for a mobile shower for the homeless began in 2014 when a group from the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in San Luis Obispo attended a conference in Santa Barbara. Showers of Blessing had their mobile shower unit on site for all to view. Volunteers for their program spoke to us about their successful shower program that provides showers to the homeless in Santa Barbara County. All of us from San Luis Obispo agreed that a mobile shower program was needed for the homeless in San Luis Obispo County too.From that day forward a committed group of volunteers has planned and built the underpinnings of a mobile shower program for San Luis Obispo County. Shower the People became a 501c3 nonprofit organization in May of 2017. Our mission is to provide access to a warm shower to every man and woman of the homeless in our community as possible. Our program is entirely supported by grants and donations from religious (interfaith) churches, organizations and individual donors in our community. Our program is run by volunteers like you.
