All About Shower Power

Shower Power is the ambitious and exciting class project of Tempe Leadership Class XXV. Inspired by the Tempe Leadership classes that have come before them, Class XXV has seized upon an outstanding project that will benefit Tempe now, and leave a legacy of caring far into the future.

This project, known as Shower Power, will provide showers to homeless individuals who participate in the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP), which provides overnight shelter to the working homeless. Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA) is a non-profit human services organization that created and manages I-HELP. Seven nights a week, 25 faith-based organizations open up their facilities to provide shelter, food, and other services to the growing population of working homeless in our community through the I-HELP program.

How Can I Help?

Tempe Leadership Class XXV has put together a suite of fund raising opportunities, including direct monetary donations, and one time corporate/business sponsorships to purchase the mobile shower unit and associated hygiene products. To make our dream a reality, we must raise $25,000 (we are over halfway there!)

“Time is short and the community is ever-increasing,” according to Class XXV member Lauren Kuby. “We live in challenging economic times with many charities in need. Please help us make Shower Power a reality and contribute, even a small amount, today.”

How can I make a tax-deductible donation to these 501c3 tax-exempt community spirited organizations?
