Moving Waters Expands to Third Shower Location

New partnership with St. Joseph Catholic Church provides new opportunities

Homeless individuals in downtown Houston will now have a place to receive a hot shower and clean clothes free of charge. Beginning Sept. 15, Moving Waters will partner with St. Joseph Catholic Church to provide mobile showers via a mobile shower trailer from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday.

St. Joseph, located at 1505 Kane St., is Moving Waters’ third shower location and first inside Loop 610. This new partnership allows Moving Waters to further its mission and provide dignity-restoring showers and hygiene services to even more individuals.

The partnership complements and expands St. Joseph’s existing social ministry, which offers sack lunches for the homeless every Monday from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. and also operates a food pantry.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this new opportunity to serve our homeless sisters and brothers and expand our reach,” said Jennifer Park, Moving Waters founder and executive director. “We look forward to creating and fostering a community of volunteers and guests as we have done at our other shower locations in northwest Houston.”

Moving Waters provides showers on Mondays at Northwest Assistance Ministries in Spring and on Saturdays at Tomball United Methodist Church. Volunteers are the backbone of the organization and are needed to greet guests, ensure a positive experience, and clean shower stalls after use. Volunteer opportunities can be found on the website at www.movingwaters-houston.org/volunteer.
