L.A. Broker Brings Showers to Those In Need
We all know that too many people in California are without a home and most of us would love to do something about it. Los Angeles broker Rachel Sunday of Playa Vista Insurance Services has. Three years ago, Rachel and family launched The Power of a Shower — a 501(c)3 nonprofit that focuses on providing theirhouseless neighbors in the Venice Beach area with access to personal hygiene. “I knew I wanted to do something but at first didn’t know what,” explains Rachel. “One day I’d had a really horrible day, but after I took a shower I noticed how much better I felt. That’s really when I came up with the idea for The Power of a Shower.”
Indeed, getting clean may not be the total solution, but it sure does help! Using mobile showerunits, The Power of a Shower offers people without homes a chance to shower,use the restroom and change into fresh clothing.
The Sunday family and volunteers set up shop Thursday mornings in the main parking lot of Venice Beach boardwalk, where they routinely have a long line of people who want a shower. They are able to provide showers for 30 to 50 people each week. Sunday says she loves the idea that helping people get clean is something almost anyone can get behind.
The organization is always in need of the following products:
• Soap/body wash • Shampoo • Conditioner • Lotion
• Toothbrushes • Toothpaste • Deodorant • Q-tips
• Disposable gloves • Tampons
