Nurture Hope is excited to be offering our mobile shower services at this years Point in Time.
Every January, over 40 service providers come together for to offer services for the local houseless community during the Point in Time Count. Partners of the Thurston County Homeless Crisis Response System and community volunteers will conduct a count of unsheltered individuals living in the county. With all these groups coming together its powerful time to serve the local houseless community.
We are seeking kindhearted people for our Shower Power Plus (SPP) program who want to have a positive impact in our local houseless community by helping with our mobile showers.
Volunteers will help by checking people in, passing out hygene supplies, cleaning showers and set up/take down depending on whats needed during their shift. This position is for someone who likes engaging with people and being of service.
ABOUT OUR MISSION
Founded by Lisa Gillotti, Nurture Hope has a deeply personal mission. Lisa understands the challenges homeless individuals face because she has experienced financial hardships herself. She knows that homelessness can happen suddenly, whether due to a catastrophe, illness, or loss.
Our mission is to improve human dignity, nurture mental health, physical well-being, and environmental stewardship. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for those in need.
Your involvement with Nurture Hope will not only help those in need but also provide you with an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a lasting impact on the lives of others. We believe in honesty, integrity, and the power of community, and we're excited to have you as part of our team.

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.
