Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Donates Towels for HSC Shower Program and Heat Relief

A big shout out to Fairmont Scottsdale Princess for donating nearly 400 towels to benefit HSC's Shower Program.

There are consistently 700-800 people living in the neighborhood surrounding the HSC each night. When someone is without shelter, they are also without a shower, which compounds the effects of homelessness. Last year, 2,053 unduplicated individuals were served by the Shower Program. Over 16,000 showers throughout the year helped to restore dignity, improve mental health, and fulfill a basic human need for hygiene. Paired with donated toiletries, sanitized spaces, fresh clothes and a friendly Supportive Services staff smile, a simple shower can translate to better outcomes in accessing services across Campus.

Thank you Fairmont Scottsdale Princess!
