Word of Thanks: Showers For All
There's a simple bit of dignity that is part of every day for most of us: the chance to take a shower in a safe and private place. For Coloradans living in their cars or elsewhere on the streets, it's not simple or every day.
Showers for All has provided 20,000 showers and loads of laundry for people in need in Denver and surrounding cities. Three years ago, your generosity helped pay for an entire new shower and laundry truck for that nonprofit.
The challenge today is finding sites with the power hookups they need. We can help raise the funds to move Showers For All to fully renewable energy, which will let them set up anywhere they're welcome. Right now, that's in Denver and Arvada four days a week.
The nonprofit tells the story of a young man who had been accepted into a drug rehab and job training program out of state. When he emerged from the shower trailer, clean, beaming and showing off a new haircut, his friends from the street cheered. A shower and clean clothes can be the difference in getting a job, keeping a job, staying healthy and staying positive that tomorrow can be better than today.
Since Kyle started Word of Thanks in 2020, this Next community has raised more than $13 million for nonprofits doing great work in our state. Like every week, we ask you to consider even a $5 donation – and Kyle will match the first fifty of those.
As always, thank you.
