Mississippi Stories: Shower Power with Teresa Renkenberger and Mary Ann Kirby

11 months ago 13

Shower Power in Jackson, Mississippi was founded when Teresa Renkenberger struck up a conversation with Bennie, a homeless man standing by Lakeland Drive. From that conversation, she came up with the idea of creating a mobile shower built into a box truck. Joined by her longtime friend Mary Ann Kirby, Shower Power grew into a weekly Friday event that provides those in the Jackson-Metro area without a home a shower, a meal, clothes, and community.

Shower Power is proof that everyday people can find exceptional solutions for community challenges. Renkenberger and Kirby join Editor-at-Large Marshall Ramsey to tell their story.
