We have been invited to boston.
we need your help:
Community Relationships – Helping us find other groups and organizations who are serving the unhoused in Boston and who would be interested in collaborating. Our partnerships allow us to have the greatest impact on the people we are trying to serve.
City Leadership – We always want to be a good neighbor in the communities we serve. Working with local government, law enforcement, homeless outreach, social service and other groups and individuals is very important.
Fundraising – As a 501c3 charitable nonprofit, ShowerUp needs friends in each city we serve who are willing to help support what we do. Nearly all of ShowerUp’s support comes from individuals, families, local businesses, churches, and local foundations.
Awareness – Sharing about ShowerUp through social media, traditional media, public speaking, podcasts, etc. helps awareness grow and gives us a foundation for building grassroots and community awareness, volunteer cultivation, and donor development.
