Can a simple shower restore dignity?
What if access to a shower changed someone’s day?

HELP ASSEMBLE HYGIENE BAGS:  In addition to learning about Humanity Showers, we will be assembling hygiene bags to support individuals experiencing homelessness in our community.  These bags provide essential items that offer comfort, dignity, and care – things many of us use every day without a second thought.  
Help us gather the supplies – click the amazon wish list below to take part.  
 
Humanity Showers offer mobile showers throughout San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, CA. We’ll be meeting Jordan Verdin, the founder of Humanity Showers, which began in 2019. He’ll share his mission, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of his organization’s work to assist chronically homeless individuals. Humanity Showers provides essential human needs and instills dignity by offering showers, food, haircuts, and preparing people for the next step.

Kathy’s Legacy assists these children and the family members (often elderly grandparents) who are now guardians of the children. In addition to helping with basic needs, Kathy’s Legacy provides opportunities for normalcy such as birthday & holiday celebrations, dance lessons, sports, summer camps and more.
