Showers
Access to Hygene
Something many people take for granted is access to running water. When Vigilant Hope first began talking to people who faced homelessness, we learned that a lack of access to showers was a huge problem in Wilmington, NC. So we launched a shower trailer to provide hygiene supplies, coffee & snacks, and hot showers throughout the week.
