Help Us Achieve Our Mission
Our mission is to improve human dignity, nurture mental health, physical well-being, and environmental stewardship. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for those in need.
Nurture Hope was founded by Lisa Gillotti, who has a personal connection to the challenges faced by homeless individuals. Lisa's dedication to service and her passion for creating positive change led to the birth of our organization. We understand that life can take unexpected turns, and it's our mission to provide support and hope to those who need it most.
As we take the next steps in our journey, we are looking for dedicated volunteers like you to join us in making a real difference.
Your involvement with Nurture Hope will not only help those in need but also provide you with an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a lasting impact on the lives of others. We believe in honesty, integrity, and the power of community, and we're excited to have you as part of our team.

Mission Statement
By improving human dignity, we strive to nurture mental health, physical well-being, and environmental stewardship. We thank you in advance for your service! Shower Power Plus Program Goal: Enhance the quality of life in our unhoused Thurston County neighbors by providing showers, clean clothing, supplies, and coordinating with community partners to provide other resources in an atmosphere of radical hospitality.
Description
Nurture Hope (NH) serves Thurston County residents with dignity through two unique active programs, Build A Bus Home, and Shower Power Plus. Both programs serve our unhoused Thurston County neighbors.
Nurture Hope’s programs provide affordable housing options through BABH, while SPP serves unhoused guests who do not have regular access to running water with mobile showers. Our dedicated team of volunteers offer a piece of normalcy and a small step toward the goal of independent and self-sufficient living. Together, we strive to meet the most basic human needs with radical hospitality!
Shower Power Plus also works closely with Community Partners creating an inviting atmosphere for guests. This "Village of Care" approach has attracted partners who provide, food, clothing, medical, employment information, and a range of related supplies and services.
As we grow and evolve our operations, it is crucial that we continue to promote a favorable and lasting impression in the minds of everyone with whom we interact, including guests, donors, media, volunteers, and the general community.
