COMMUNITY OUTREACH

We held our annual Coat Drive on December 22, 2025, at the Columbus Metropolitan Main Library in the heart of downtown Columbus. It was a meaningful step in supporting our unhoused neighbors during the winter season.

We’re excited to announce that our fourth annual Coat Drive will take place this year, 2026.

At A Shower Is Power, we understand that we alone cannot solve homelessness, but we are deeply committed to being part of the solution. We look forward to continuing our involvement in community outreach efforts, both now and in the future.

Please enjoy some of the photos from our event below & continue to scroll for some of our initial impact we’ve made on our local community we love so much.
