Tempe Leadership Class XXV would like to thank the community for all their support. We exceeded our fundraising goal of $25,000 by $6,000. The additional funding will be used for operations and ongoing maintenance of the mobile shower trailer.





We would like to thank all the individuals who donated either through the Working Poor Tax Credit or by purchasing raffle tickets. We would also like to thank Whole Foods Market, Phoenix Suns, D.P. Electric, Inc., Gracie's Thrift, Dave's Electric Brew Pub, Caliente Construction, Inc., Missio Dei Communities, APS, SRP and Representative Harry Mitchell for their monetary or in-kind donations. This project would not be possible without the support of the community. We are very thankful.





Class XXV would like to give special recognition to the Dial Corporation. They provided the dollar amount needed to exceed our fundraising goal and they will be providing the hygiene products for the showers, and even towels. Dial is also wrapping the trailer and has made a long time commitment to sustaining Shower Power as a community amenity. Their commitment to Shower Power is greatly appreciated.

All About Shower Power



Donate Now!

Shower Power is the ambitious and exciting class project of Tempe Leadership Class XXV. Inspired by the Tempe Leadership classes that have come before them, Class XXV has seized upon an outstanding project that will benefit Tempe now, and leave a legacy of caring far into the future.

This project, known as Shower Power, will provide showers to homeless individuals who participate in the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP), which provides overnight shelter to the working homeless. Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA) is a non-profit human services organization that created and manages I-HELP. Seven nights a week, 25 faith-based organizations open up their facilities to provide shelter, food, and other services to the growing population of working homeless in our community through the I-HELP program.
How Can I Help?
Tempe Leadership Class XXV has put together a suite of fund raising opportunities, including direct monetary donations, and one time corporate/business sponsorships to purchase the mobile shower unit and associated hygiene products. To make our dream a reality, we must raise $25,000 (we are over halfway there!)
"Time is short and the community is ever-increasing," according to Class XXV member Lauren Kuby. “We live in challenging economic times with many charities in need. Please help us make Shower Power a reality and contribute, even a small amount, today.”
How can I make a tax-deductible donation?

You can contact a Class XXV Representative regarding sponsorship, donate online here, or send a check payable to "Tempe Community Action Agency" here:

Please be sure to include the words “Shower Power,” in the subject line of your check and/or in the memo online. This is critical.
