MES mobile shower service: restoring dignity, one shower at a time
MES’s mobile shower service brings dignity and essential hygiene to displaced individuals. We visit “hot spots” where people gather, offering warm showers and access to our social and health services through our social auxiliary workers, who assess needs and connect clients to our shelters, rehab facilities and social services.
