First Stop is looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to help with our Shower Program for the homeless community of Huntsville. This is a great opportunity to interact with our clients and a hands-on way to become involved. Volunteers will be trained upon arrival, and we will provide everything that is needed (towels, toiletry items, cleaning supplies, and gloves). Mondays through Fridays between 9am-12pm, volunteers will sign clients up for showers, pass out toiletries, and wipe down the showers and sinks in between each use. Click here for Shower Program Instructions To sign up for our Shower Program, please look below at the open availabilities. For questions, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Matthew Evans (Matthew.evans@firststop.org) or (938)-259-8145
