Services

From August 2019 to December 2023, Healing Waters provided more than 3,200 showers. The Mobile Shower stayed in service during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Guests waiting for showers are engaged in prayer and conversation with volunteers.

Healing Waters provides hot water, washcloths, towels, soap, and shampoo for the showers. Volunteers sanitize the shower units after each individual use.

Our guests, both men and women, have received a total of 327 haircuts.

As of December 2023, Healing Waters has distributed over 13,155 articles of clothing and seasonal items.

Our mini-library provides books to meet a wide range of interests.  Guests unable to check out books from public libraries now have access to them.

The Lord has brought us together, and with His strength, we continue to serve in His light. Prayer circles start the day and help strengthen our community.

In conjunction with Carol's Kitchen, the Riverside University Health System provides a Mobile Health Clinic once a month at the Banning site. The service is free of charge and available to everyone.

Multiple times a year, Healing Waters assists various groups and organizations in implementing special celebrations for the homeless, and at the same time, we provide showers and other services.

Every Christmas Healing Waters fulfills and assembles over 100 16-gallon holiday wish bags to meet the specific needs of homeless individuals. The bags are delivered to the homeless with the assistance of ICS at their locations within the cities of Banning, Cabazon, and Beaumont.

Healing Waters refurbished a laundry facility along with a commercial washer and dryer to wash and sanitize towels used at the showers. We also provide a laundry service, so guests can reuse clothes for those unable to use the provided local laundromat laundry cards. 

Healing Waters has collected over 264 items of much-needed mobility equipment for patients discharged from the local hospital, residents, indigents, and those in need. Donations are also made to other communities and organizations in need within Riverside County and even farther afield.

Healing Waters built a permanent shower room to accommodate the needs of the homeless and installed a tankless water heater to facilitate optimal laundry and shower usage.

Healing Waters built a secure storage area to receive, store, and distribute the clothing, goods, and supplies that are used and distributed to the homeless.

Healing Waters sorts and distributes surplus donations to other organizations serving the homeless in the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley.
