A circle of care, right where you are.
Clean Start Outreach brings hot showers, hygiene, clean clothing, and friendship to our unhoused neighbors, and together with partners, food, medical care, and care navigation, all in one place.
Everyone deserves to feel clean, seen, and safe.
Homelessness isn't someone else's story. Most of our unhoused neighbors have lived in Contra Costa County for years. Without a place to wash, rest, or be known, health and hope wear thin. Clean Start Outreach meets people right where they are, with dignity first.
Every shower is a fresh start: warm water, clean clothes, a hygiene kit, and a volunteer who knows your name. Small mercies, given again and again, rebuild dignity and open the door to what comes next.
Every resource, every week, on the street.
We help create mobile resource centers with one goal: that through partnership, at least one day every week, unsheltered neighbors across Contra Costa County can find comprehensive resources in one place. Clean Start Outreach is one part of that circle of care.
Our trailers and volunteers offer a warm shower, a hygiene kit, fresh clothes, and something just as important: friends who show up every week and know your name.
Partner organizations set up alongside one another, offering a meal, health care, and help navigating housing, benefits, and recovery, right where neighbors already are.

From the street to home and healing.
No one moves from the street to wholeness in a single step. Clean Start Outreach walks alongside neighbors through the hardest stretch, until the night gives way to morning.
No shelter tonight: sleeping outside, in a car, or wherever feels safe enough.
A hot shower, clean clothes, a hygiene kit, and something to eat.
Week after week, a real relationship grows. Being known, cared for, and walked alongside becomes the bridge to whatever comes next.
Success looks different for every person: recovery, health, reconnecting with family, or a home of their own.
Showers that come to you.
Our mobile shower trailers bring hot water, clean clothes, and caring volunteers to three neighborhoods every week. Everyone is welcome.
Schedules can change around holidays and weather. See this week's schedule →
Welcome guests, sort clothing, pack hygiene kits, or share a cup of coffee and a conversation. Your time or gift helps a neighbor take the next step home.
