Volunteers that care

Laundry Service

Twice a month, St. Luke’s Shower Program sponsors a free laundry session at a local laundromat for about 50 to 70 people who are experiencing homelessness.
We are truly grateful to our weekly donors.
Thank you!

Community Garden

In 2022, shower program volunteers and guests launched a community food garden at St. Luke’s. The harvests from this garden are consumed by volunteers, and extras are incorporated into the program’s lunches.
