Love 2 Life: Making a Difference One Shower at a Time

Restoring Dignity & Offering Hope

The pulse of Refreshing Spring’s heartbeat is to Restore Dignity – One by One - offering Hope by lending a helping hand in times of distress. Our inner drive is to help those who have fallen through our culture’s cracks and crevices, those who are ostracized and kicked to the side in our society.

Refreshing Spring’s motivation is to help reposition, rebuild, and the restoration needed for re-entry into societal normalcy enabling the homeless to become productive members of the community.

Hours of Operation

The shower ministry’s hours of operation are every 3rd Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.
