Free Shower Facility

Upholding Dignity

Offering Shower Facilities to Our Homeless Community at The Rolla Mission.

At The Rolla Mission, we believe deeply in the fundamental right to dignity for every individual. Understanding that dignity can often be tied to personal hygiene, we are proud to provide free shower access to our local homeless community. It’s more than just a service – it’s a reaffirmation of our shared humanity and a commitment to uphold the respect and worth of each person we serve.

A 2016 national survey found that 67% of the people experiencing homelessness reported one or more preventable health conditions due to a lack of access to hygiene resources.

Hygiene Items Available:

Shampoo and Conditioner
Soap/Bodywash
Deodorant
Razors and Shaving Cream
Feminine Hygiene Products
Toothbrush and Toothpaste
Combs

At the Rolla Mission, Amanda and Ryan found a sense of community and support that they had been missing for so long. They were able to connect with other individuals who had faced similar struggles, and they were given access to resources and services that helped them get back on their feet. They both explained "The Mission was an awakening for us. It gave us what we needed to move forward. The Mission was a place we found a way to not only love ourselves but others. We found hope, love, and faith."

With tears in his eyes Terry said "I finally feel I have made it. I am at peace. I have my apartment and I love to sit at the window listening to the sounds of the birds and the traffic. I never thought I would be at this point in my life. My health is still not doing well, and to know that I don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from or where I will lay my head at night is a blessing. I am happy and for the first time in my life, I am stable."

"Getting my job really helped pull me out of depression. Routine really is so important. The Mission and the programs they offer helped to motivate me. Homelessness helped me to become humble. It gave me a different outlook on life and people. I am thankful for The Mission because they offered me help and resources to get into my home. They paid for my housing application fee and that started the ball rolling. I'm glad The Mission is here, it serves its purpose well."

Kevin has been working our case management program since he arrived. "I'm taking advantage of every resource I can here at The Mission and it is getting me somewhere. It took a few months to get on waiting lists and now I am moving into my own place."

"I have peace that I haven't had in years. If Jesus were here today he would be right here in this place. It is a good place and I am thankful for it everyday."
