Mission Statement

By improving human dignity, we strive to nurture mental health, physical well-being, and environmental stewardship. We thank you in advance for your service! Shower Power Plus Program Goal: Enhance the quality of life in our unhoused Thurston County neighbors by providing showers, clean clothing, supplies, and coordinating with community partners to provide other resources in an atmosphere of radical hospitality.

Description

Nurture Hope (NH) serves Thurston County residents with dignity through two unique active programs, Build A Bus Home, and Shower Power Plus. Both programs serve our unhoused Thurston County neighbors.

Nurture Hope’s programs provide affordable housing options through BABH, while SPP serves unhoused guests who do not have regular access to running water with mobile showers. Our dedicated team of volunteers offer a piece of normalcy and a small step toward the goal of independent and self-sufficient living. Together, we strive to meet the most basic human needs with radical hospitality!


Shower Power Plus also works closely with Community Partners creating an inviting atmosphere for guests. This "Village of Care" approach has attracted partners who provide, food, clothing, medical, employment information, and a range of related supplies and services.

As we grow and evolve our operations, it is crucial that we continue to promote a favorable and lasting impression in the minds of everyone with whom we interact, including guests, donors, media, volunteers, and the general community.
