Community Shower Truck helping Central Oregon homeless stay cool and clean
Serves encampment along Hunnell Road
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) As the homeless camp along Hunnell Road in northeast Bend grows, volunteers are helping out in a variety of ways.
The president of Community Shower Truck- Ministries, Tom Stutheit, said Thursday he has made it a goal to bring the truck every Thursday.
He said they usually get about 15 to 20 people using it over the 2 1/2 hours it s there. And he s expecting that number to rise again as temperatures go up, and the heat makes it more of a necessity.
Stutheit said a majority of their clients are single, homeless men. However, they also provide the service to women and families.
