Clayton County, Georgia
Everyone deserves to feel human again.
Free showers, laundry and hygiene kits, brought directly to neighbors across Clayton County who have nowhere else to get clean.
Our mission
To restore dignity and renew hope by providing sanitary, accessible showers and laundry services to those in need, while creating a safe space where people feel seen, clean, valued, and supported.
Dignity begins with the basics.
A hot shower and clean clothes change what a person can do next: sit an interview, attend a class, walk into a clinic, be seen as themselves.

What we bring
A shower, clean clothes, and someone glad to see you.
Mobile showers
Safe, sanitary, private shower facilities brought directly into the community.
Laundry
Washers and dryers on site, so people leave in clean clothes rather than carrying them.
Hygiene kits
Soap, toothbrush, razor, deodorant and a fresh towel, given without paperwork.
Connection to resources
A warm handoff to housing, healthcare, employment and identification recovery.
What to expect
Showing up is the only hard part.
Walk up
No appointment, no paperwork, no cost, and no one asking you to prove you need it. Find the trailer on a service day and come as you are.
Get clean
A private stall, hot water, soap and a fresh towel, plus a hygiene kit to take with you. Washers and dryers are on site, so you can start a load while you wait.
Take what you need
If you want it, someone can connect you to housing, healthcare, employment and help replacing lost identification. If you do not, that is fine too.
Where we go
Seven cities, one county, one trailer.
Fresh Hope is mobile by design. Rather than asking people without transportation to come to a building, the showers and laundry go to the places they already are.
- College Park
- Forest Park
- Lake City
- Morrow
- Riverdale
- Jonesboro
- Lovejoy
Who we serve
Not a category. Neighbors.
Housing instability rarely looks the way people expect. Fresh Hope serves anyone who needs it, without means testing and without a referral.
- Unsheltered adults
- Families living in extended-stay motels
- Youth experiencing housing instability
- Individuals exiting incarceration
- People living in their vehicles
Endorsed by county leadership
Backed at the top of the county.
Fresh Hope carries the endorsement of Dr. Alieka Anderson Henry, Chairwoman, Clayton County Board of Commissioners, alongside partnerships with the utilities, hospitals and municipalities that keep Clayton County running.
Our sponsors
Backed by our community
Beachview Energy is our presenting sponsor and supplied the trailers.
Help us keep the water hot.
Every shower costs something: water, propane, detergent, towels, and the volunteers who set it all up before sunrise. A trailer that is not funded is a trailer that stays parked.
