At Tracy Community Connections Center (TCCC), we know that restoring dignity often begins with meeting basic needs. That’s why we are incredibly grateful to Home2 Suites by Hilton Tracy for their recent donation of hundreds of clean towels for our Mobile Shower Program.
For many people experiencing homelessness, access to a hot shower can be life-changing. Beyond improving hygiene, it provides a sense of normalcy, confidence, and dignity. A clean towel may seem like a small thing, but for someone who has been living without reliable access to basic necessities, it can make a meaningful difference.
Our Mobile Shower Program serves 40-50 individuals per day throughout the Tracy community who need a safe place to shower, access hygiene supplies, and connect with additional resources. Every towel donated helps us continue providing these services while creating a welcoming environment for the people we serve.
Community partnerships make this work possible. We are continually inspired by local businesses that step up to support their neighbors and invest in the well-being of our community. Home2 Suites Tracy’s generosity helps ensure that our shower program remains a dependable resource for individuals working to overcome housing instability and rebuild their lives.
On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and clients, thank you to Home2 Suites Tracy for your kindness and commitment to serving the Tracy community. Your donation will have a direct and lasting impact on the people who rely on our programs every week.
Tracy Community Connections Center is excited to share our appreciation for the generous support of our local Texas Roadhouse restaurant. Their manager recently reached out with an offer to donate leftover food on a weekly basis, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks to their kindness, our clients have already enjoyed hearty, delicious meals including corn, mashed potatoes, chili, and green beans.
These donations make a real difference for the individuals we serve. Debbie, our Director of Shower and Laundry Programs, ensures the food is distributed to clients at our shower program, giving people a warm meal along with the hygiene services and support they receive. It’s a simple act of generosity that brings comfort, nourishment, and dignity to those who need it most.
Community partnerships like this remind us how much good can happen when local businesses step up to help their neighbors. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse in Tracy, for being part of the TCCC family and helping us care for our community!
Every week, Tracy Community Connections Center receives a generous donation of food from McDonald’s, offering support that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve. For the past couple of years, these food donations have helped us offer consistent meals and snacks to our shower and laundry clients. But as the program grew, sorting the food became a bigger job than our staff could manage alone.
That’s where Redemption Road Church stepped in. In recent months, their team has graciously allowed us to use their kitchen as a sorting space, creating a welcoming hub where volunteers and TCCC staff work side-by-side to organize the weekly donations. This partnership has transformed the process into an accessible and impactful volunteer opportunity, giving more community members a hands-on way to help.
The sorted food is then served at our Tuesday/Thursday laundry program, also located at Redemption Road Church, with any extras delivered to our Monday/Wednesday/Friday shower program at New Heart Church. Thanks to McDonald’s, Redemption Road Church, and our dedicated volunteers, our clients can count on having something to eat when they come for these services.
We’re deeply grateful for this ongoing partnership and the community spirit behind it. If you’d like to get involved in food sorting or volunteer with TCCC, we’d love to welcome you. Get in touch!
