Founded by Doniece Sandoval, Lava Mae launched its mobile hygiene service in June of 2014 and has since provided more than 14,000 showers to 2,400 people moving through homelessness, inspired replication of its hygiene services, and dramatically raised awareness about the lack of access to showers and basic hygiene across the U.S. and around the globe.
Lava Mae is undergoing some upgrades and will be returning to the neighborhood in the near future. We may get an update at the April meeting; if not, then it will be presented in May.
