Help people in need get a fresh start

The fresh start wash and wellness program

Maintain Hygiene and Give Dignity

Homelessness is not always a choice and reasons vary from individual to individual. Our program isn’t just about giving a shower, it’s about a basic human right to be clean.  It’s about giving back dignity and hope to our unhoused population. We feel something as basic as a shower can be a catalyst for change in the lives of those we serve.

 

Feeling clean and having confidence in oneself opens the doors for engagement and opportunities. Access to showers on a regular basis will improve the desire to seek out help that is offered in your community. Working together we can reach a similar goal of placing the unsheltered in permanent housing.

 

Clean the World’s Fresh Start WASH & Wellness Program combines mobile showers units, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) education and Wellness (COVID-19 testing, HEP A / HEP C vaccinations, and illness prevention) services.

 As these services are provided, we connect individuals to other organizations that provide emergency shelter, food, clothing, medical care, detoxification services, and hygiene supplies.

Mobility of Fresh Start WASH
and Wellness Shower Unit

Our Fresh Start WASH & Wellness shower units are self-contained, with no need for hook up to power or water supplies.  This enables us to drive to locations and offer showers to those who cannot/will not visit your area drop-in locations. We work with your team to plan out a strategic showering schedules to meet your community needs.  Keeping the same schedule each week, enables our team to build the trust and relationships that will help motivate this population into permanent housing.

STAYING SAFE​

Thank you for joining us in the mission to save lives through soap recycling. As we work together to impact the lives of vulnerable people here in the US and around the world, we want to assure you that it is safe to collect soap and bottled amenities and recycle them. We recommend wearing proper PPE (face mask and gloves) while adhering to CDC Standards to ensure your safety and the safety of others.

All of the personal care products that are sent to Clean the World facilities remain in their original packaging for 7 days or more. After clearing the 7-day “product quarantine”, the outside of all boxes are disinfected. Clean the World’s personnel that is responsible for shipping bins is doing so wearing protective gear and adhering to Clean the World’s safety guidelines.

Rest assured, the only thing arriving at your property are your bins and limitless potential to make a difference in the lives of people everywhere in need of soap!
