Mary Magdalen House Hygiene Nonprofit in Greater Cincinnati | Dignity for All. Lack of access to basic hygiene is a significant barrier to good mental, physical, and social health.

But a warm shower, a clean outfit, and connection can mean hope and renewal - for body, mind, and spirit. Hygiene access increases job retention and academic outcomes, improves physical and mental health, and reduces discrimination and other social barriers. This is where Mary Magdalen House (MMH) comes in. We envision a Greater Cincinnati where all people experiencing homelessness are afforded the dignity and opportunities that come from personal care, clean clothing, and good hygiene. Since 1988, Mary Magdalen House has provided access to showers, laundry, mail, storage, and other dignity-promoting resources. In 2026, we are expanding our work by launching MMH Goes Mobile: Cincinnati's first mobile hygiene program. We have equipped a custom trailer with showers, laundry, and toilets to remove transportation barriers and bring hygiene access throughout the other neighborhoods in our city.

Update on our request for blankets 😆❤️ We are overwhelmed with your generosity, as you can tell haha!

This isn’t even all of them — the delivery driver had to ask one of our team members for help because there were so many packages ❤️ Thank you for caring for our fellow Cincinnatians and helping them stay warm & safe this fall.

PS - If you’d like a donation receipt for your Amazon wishlist gift, please message us. Otherwise we aren’t able to see the details we need to send a proper thank you. 😊

We have some very special news to share…🥁🥁🥁

On Tuesday night, Mary Magdalen House was named a 2026 Impact 100 Awardee and received a $100,000 grant towards MMH Goes Mobile! After incredible support from our donors and now receiving this award, we have officially surpassed our $500,000 campaign goal — meaning our mobile hygiene unit is now on the road and fully funded for its first two years of operation 🥹🛻🫧💪❤️

We are so thankful to Impact 100 Cincinnati for believing in our mission & helping to drive dignity forward. The women of Impact 100 dramatically improve lives in our Greater Cincinnati community by collectively funding transformational grants that make a lasting impact. We are honored to be a recipient of this collective generosity. ❤️

We are also so thankful to all of YOU who have supported this work from the beginning!

More details and updates to come. For now, here’s to hygiene access, dignity, and opportunity for everyone in Greater Cincinnati 🫧🧼🚿🫶

After having been a regular guest at Mary Magdalen House for more than 10 years while he lived on and off the streets, Dereke began occasionally stopping in to get hygiene supplies or a bus pass if he needed some help. This Thursday he stopped in to ask for a dress shirt because he wanted to look good for an important event... Yesterday he came in to show us an even better shirt he received - his new chef’s uniform! 💪

This week he graduated from the Cincinnati Cooks program (through the FreeStore) and was proud of having been one of two graduates with perfect attendance. He has a dream of having his own restaurant one day, and is excited to have the opportunity to work at the restaurant of his choice now that he has graduated.

We are so happy for ~Chef~ Dereke👨‍🍳 and it’s an honor to have been a part of his journey to get here 🫶 We’ll continue to be consistent supporters for Dereke & always have hot showers, clean clothes, and other resources available for him and any other guests whenever they stop by.

Drumroll, please 🥁🥁🥁🥁

The first three neighborhoods where we will be bringing our services…

⭐️ CLIFTON
⭐️ NORTHSIDE
⭐️ LOWER PRICE HILL / QUEENSGATE

We selected these neighborhoods because of data and needs assessments with potential guests, which showed that hygiene services are not currently accessible but are highly requested. We will be working with local organizational partners who are already doing important work and have established trust with people experiencing homelessness in their communities. By working together, guests will also be able to access partner services & our own at the same time. 💪🫧

We want to hear from you — what other neighborhoods should we bring hygiene services to? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️
