💧Fresh Start Shower Ministry Needs: Water Bottles & Tumblers! 💧

As the summer heat begins to rise, our Fresh Start Shower Ministry is looking for new or gently loved water bottles and travel tumblers to bless our Shower Guests. These simple gifts will help keep drinks cool and refreshing during the hottest days ahead—such a simple yet caring way to show care and hospitality to our neighbors. 🤍

If you’re able, please consider donating clean, gently used or new bottles and tumblers and help us share comfort and kindness in a very practical way. Every small act makes a big difference! 🌿✨

For questions or more details, please see Wendy Burke.

Thank you, Fresh Start Shower Ministry and Fresh Start Shower Ministry family, for continuing to love and serve so generously! 💙

We’re incredibly honored to have the Fresh Start Shower Ministry featured by WCPO 9 ❤️

What started as a simple way to help meet basic needs has grown into so much more — a ministry centered around dignity, compassion, hope, and community. Every shower, load of laundry, conversation, cup of coffee, and moment of kindness reminds someone that they are seen, valued, and loved.

This ministry would not be possible without our amazing volunteers, donors, prayer partners, and supporters who continue to show up for our neighbors time and time again. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of so many people in our community.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share the heart behind this ministry and the people who make it possible every single day.
