Flood Response Shower, Laundry, Transportation, & Resource Promo.png

This set-up is primarily focused on accommodating the needs and comfort of families, but it can be utilized by individuals and couples without children.

We have free laundry access (one washer & one dryer), and two shower stations (one with a bath) set up for community members impacted by the flood. This is at our office located at The Highlands Recycling Center behind Best Buy. We are doing this by appointment -- with very flexible availability options, to allow appropriate time spacing for individuals to complete their laundry cycles, showers, and our staff/volunteers to clean. We also have onsite professional counseling services available, birth to three access, needs assessments, and resource referrals including connections to replacement identification documents if needed. The space is climate controlled, snacks and light refreshments are available, and there is a lounge/play area with tv accessible.

Thanks to the The Mother Jones Center for Resilient Community, transportation to our location is available, and it can accommodate larger groups if needed.

Call or text Nic Cochran, MSW, at 304.880.6142 or Rebecca Friend at 304.639.6792 for more information or to schedule.
