Showers and Laundry for Men Staying at Hope Rescue Mission
Hope Rescue Mission gives men staying in its Genesis emergency shelter in Reading access to showers and laundry facilities, along with free clothing and personal care items.
These services are part of Genesis, the Mission's initial emergency shelter program, which provides up to six months of support to 100 men per night. Guests also receive three meals daily and access to Wi-Fi. Each evening, they are encouraged to attend chapel services led by local church partners.
Case managers coordinate support for the factors that led to each man's homelessness, including mental health, addiction, legal and financial struggles.
The Mission's program page does not explain how to enter Genesis, what the shelter stay costs, or when the shower and laundry facilities are available. For questions about those details, Hope Rescue Mission's general number is (610) 375-4224. The Mission is at 645 North Sixth Street, Reading, PA 19601.
