Founder
- But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 1John 3:17 (NKJV).
Marcia Hall, CEO
I have had the opportunity and the honor to serve the homeless for many years, and I still serve them today.
One day, a young lady approached the desk at the outreach center where I served at the time.
Her hair and clothes were a bit dirty, while her face was a little cleaner. There was dirt under her small fingernails, and an unpleasant odor emanated from her body.
I ask her, “How can I help you”? She replied in a soft, baby-like voice, “A shower, where can I get a hot shower?” I have heard numerous requests for clothing, hygiene items, etc., but her requests struck me to my core, as I realized that a female had no way to refresh herself from day to day. I tried to accommodate her by letting her use the ladies’ restroom to freshen up at the sink and water, and providing her with a set of clean clothing, undergarments, and other items to help her. I wish I could have done more that day for her. She thanked me and left. I could not get her words out of my mind after she left me.
That's when my search for a solution to this fundamental need began, and I aimed to find it quickly. My research begins by speaking with other people, seeking information on whether this service is offered anywhere in our community, how to start a nonprofit organization, and how to serve the community with excellence and integrity. To my surprise, a hot shower service was not available. That is how the concept of Mrbubblez Inc. was born (portable showers for the homeless). I went into prayer about the needs of others; God gave me a vision for portable showers (to bring the service to the people).
The plans for Mrbubblez Inc. were coming along as planned, when life took a sudden turn, which was a big hit to my health, the Big C (stage 3 colon cancer) in 2015, with God, my family, and my belief in the vision he gave me for Mrbubblez showers. I had to fight for my life to see Mrbubblez showers heal many people's bodies and souls, as God healed my body of that disease. Here I am many years later, healed, and Mrbubblez Inc. showers have now blessed numerous homeless families, men, and women in our community.
With Gratitude,
Marcia Hall

CALL TO ACTION
SHOW OUR HOMELESS NEIGHBORS
"I SEE YOU & I CARE"
Over the years Mrbubblez has provided showers to homeless families, men and women, giving away over 4,500 pieces of clothing with hygiene items that include new underwear and socks for men, women, and families that are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
Because our shower units are mobile, we can meet individuals where they are in the community and ensure that they have an opportunity to care for themselves in a way that many people take for granted. Our goal for the years to come is to expand further out to under severed areas in other counties.

Our volunteers create a safe space where clients can feel refreshed and restored, allowing them to feel loved and valued. Our donors make it all possible for us to continue our mission.
