The Neighborhood Well "TNW", a volunteer run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, seeks to meet the immediate needs of the homeless and unstably housed communities in our neighborhoods while creating a pipeline to other organizations and resources that enable those in need to achieve stability and long-term self-sufficiency. While serving we give encouragement and support following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

What We Do
Mobile shower program
We are providing warm showers for our neighbors every second and fourth Saturday of the month. Our mobile shower trailer contains two separate stalls with a shower, toilet , and sink where our neighbors can enjoy bathing and grooming in private. Our goal in every initiative is to meet our neighbors where they are; this mobile shower program is no different. Our current Mobile Shower Program host is First United Methodist Church of Hyattsville. As we expand the program, we will be partnering with new host locations. We plan to meet our unhoused neighbors where they are with showers and love in all parts of the DC Metropolitan Area. Learn more about the Mobile Shower!
Outreach
