Rinse & Restore Mobile Showers

Food 4 Souls exists to serve our homeless community with unconditional love and acceptance by providing Hope in Christ, Meeting Daily Needs and Aligning Resources to those who are ready to move into a life beyond homelessness." In September of 2012, a small group of willing volunteers started traveling to downtown Indianapolis on Sunday afternoons after learning about the homeless camps that existed within the city and the tremendous needs of the people that lived within them. Guided by faith, the group had initially set out to meet the immediate needs of the homeless population, but found very quickly that the individuals within these camps were looking for more than a hot meal. The group's consistent presence and approach of unconditional love and acceptance quickly broke down the social barriers that existed, which allowed the opportunity for trusting and lasting relationships to be created. It is within these relationships that the real needs of the homeless population have been discovered, which in turn also provided the mission and focus for Food 4 Souls.

We have the privilege of providing a service of showers to individuals experiencing homelessness in the Indianapolis area. Through our mobile showers, Rinse & Restore, we create a space of community which allows us to build trust and relationships. Our volunteers have the opportunity to help set up, distribute supplies, clean and pack up the showers, engage in conversation, and prayer.
