Tracy Community Connections Center Shower Program
For our unhoused neighbors, access to basic hygiene isn’t guaranteed. That’s why Tracy Community Connections Center (TCCC) operates a mobile Shower Program. Three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. we welcome anyone in need at New Heart Church (1647 Bessie Ave.). With the support of our partner church, we’ve transformed their parking lot into a safe, welcoming space where people can refresh, recharge, and reconnect with dignity.
In 2024, we provided 3,289 showers and we’re on track to serve even more this year.
More Than a Shower
When someone arrives at our Shower Program, they’re met by caring staff—not just with a towel and soap, but with conversation, kindness, and support. Every guest has free access to:
- A warm shower
- Hygiene products
- Clean clothes
- Food
- Restroom
- Phone charging station
- Resource referrals and case management
- A genuine, human connection
- Haircuts offered Mondays 9am – 1pm
Our team is there to listen, build trust, and support the next steps toward stability.

We’re proud to partner with organizations like:

-
Prevail, offering recovery resources and support
-
Tracy Police Department’s Familiar Faces Program, helping connect repeat system users to services
-
And of course, our host, New Heart Church, whose generosity makes this program possible
Why It Matters and How You Can Help
The ability to shower, wear clean clothes, and feel human again shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s a basic human need and it’s often the first step toward recovery, employment, and housing. We’ve seen it time and again: a clean body can lead to a clearer mind, a restored sense of dignity, and a renewed desire to seek help.
