The Salvation Army Hamilton Service Center in Montana expanded its services to provide showers and laundry facilities, addressing a pressing need in the community and restoring dignity.

When a shower facility in Hamilton, Montana, closed its doors, it left individuals experiencing homelessness with no accessible public-use shower options. The sudden closure not only exacerbated the daily challenges they faced, but also exposed the need for a new, sustainable solution to address basic hygiene needs.

In response to the ongoing need, The Salvation Army expanded its facility to offer shower and laundry services—now the county’s only operation of its kind.

Service Centers address community needs through the support of dedicated directors, staff members and volunteers. Visitors can access assistance services, including food distributions, prescription support, spiritual guidance, emergency financial aid and more.
