Project Refresh
Pop-Up Showers & Shared Meals
Project Refresh is hosting pop-up shower events at GAP Ministries on Tuesday evenings from 5–7 PM (volunteer hours: 4:30–7:30 PM) through November. These smaller gatherings offer a chance to serve in a meaningful, personal way. In addition to providing showers for guests, each evening includes a family-style dinner — and that’s where MCs come in. MCs are invited to volunteer and are responsible for providing and sharing a meal with those served. It’s a great opportunity to connect over dinner and offer hospitality in a tangible way. Children under 13 are not allowed to volunteer or attend these events.
Hygiene Bag Packing
Looking for a way to give back as a family? Join Project Refresh to assemble hygiene bags for our unhoused neighbors! It’s a meaningful volunteer opportunity that’s perfect for kids and adults —every item packed is a step toward dignity and care for someone in need. Come lend a hand and make a difference together!
