There are seven private showers for men, and four private showers for women continuously available at Mary Magdalen House. There are also private toilets and vanities for grooming. Mary Magdalen House also offers our guests all the toiletries they need to shower or shave, including soap, shampoo, razors, toothbrushes, combs and deodorant.
The laundry facilities are operated by the staff and volunteers, and are continuously running during our hours of operation. Guests may leave one set of their personal laundry to be washed and available for the next day.
Please note: We are first and foremost a shower house. You have to take a shower in order to have one single outfit washed.
Additionally, mail services are available to guests once they have registered with us and signed our mail agreement. Once registered, guests can also use our address to obtain state IDs and other documents.
We offer a variety of additional resources, such as bus passes, long-term storage, and care packages (depending on each guest’s eligibility). In cases where something is beyond our scope, we have an on-site coordinator who is more than happy to refer guests to housing, health, and other resources, and support them through the process.
By providing access to showers, clean clothing, community resources + support we ensure our guests are refreshed and renewed daily. For more information on how you can support this important work, contact us at 513. 721. 4811.
