Bringing dignity to the homeless.



One shower at a time.



God's Bathhouse of Volusia County is a non-profit, non-partisan enterprise. Our mission is to provide a safe, secure environment for needy individuals to maintain good hygiene, promote basic clothing needs, help them to remain healthy, and implement the Gospel of Jesus Christ by working with our economically disadvantaged neighbors.







Let us approach a true heart in full assurance for faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.



Hebrews 10:22



Bathhouse in the News



The Daytona Times ran a full-length feature story on March 21 describing the work that God's Bathhouse does to assist homeless residents of Volusia County. Several of our guests were interviewed for the story and had an opportunity to share their experiences.


The story was contributed by Jasmine Hall, a communications major at Bethune-Cookman University. Jasmine was one of three students from B-CU who visited the Bathhouse on site last month (see below).

Appreciating Our Volunteers



The Bathhouse proudly hosted our hard-working volunteers for dinner at Beef 'O' Brady's in New Smyrna on March 1. We appreciate everything they do!





UU Church Donations



The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ormond Beach collected bags of new clothing and supplies, including sweatpants, socks and underwear, over the holidays. Thanks to their generosity, we handed out special gift bags to our guests.



BCU Student Visit



Students from Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona visited us on location in February. They learned about the community services we provide and will help spread the word.

God's Bathhouse at Work



Arrive



Drive to our location and unpack. Our trucks have two shower/bathroom facilities, each fully privatized, one accessed from the front of the truck and the other from the rear.



Shelter



Raise a canopy for our guests to shelter from the sun and rain while they wait for an open shower. Lay out tables of clothing, bedding, and supplies.



Serve



Give guests a towel and toiletries when they're ready to shower. Help anyone who needs a change of clothes, underwear or socks to find the right size.



Support



Spend time with our guests and get to know them as individuals. Seek to understand the daily challenges they face, share life stories, and offer encouragement.



Clean



Sanitize the shower stalls after use. Ensure that everyone who uses them is welcomed to a clean, safe environment where they can attend to their personal hygiene.



Share



Give with an open heart and a generous spirit. Provide assurance to those who need us that God's Bathhouse will be there for them each week.
