MEND Poverty

MEND offers a shower program to its homeless clients and those who otherwise do not have access to a washroom. In 2012, the program had 1295 total encounters. Information about the shower program is distributed to various homeless service agencies. Once a client registers with MEND, he or she can use the shower facilities every Tuesday.

In addition, all day Tuesday, MEND’s homeless clients have access to toiletries, hot meals, a box of nutritious food meant to last 3 to 4 days, clean clothing, and MEND’s wide array of referral services.

To help, please donate clean towels, men’s casual clothing, and toiletry items to the MEND Clothing Center. Click here for a full list of items we need.
