A nonprofit group is taking a novel approach to helping the homeless in San Francisco with a new bus that allows them to take a shower.
The former public transit bus has been outfitted with two full private bathrooms and offers hot showers, clean toilets, shampoo, soap and towels free of charge. The founder of the nonprofit Lava Mae mobile shower bus (Doniece Sandoval) said she wanted to return a sense of dignity to those living on the streets.
THAT’S WHAT’S UP!!!
These buses are former public transportation and are refurbished by Lava Mae through private funding and donations.
It takes about $75,000 to refurbish each bus.
If you would like to help Lava Mae refurbish more buses and reach more homeless and transient individuals in the San Francisco area, you can donate any amount (one-time or recurring) through their website here.
If you are interested in volunteering for Lava Mae, you can read their volunteer agreement here in PDF format, and sign up for their volunteer management system here.
