Cloud Covered Streets is looking for hair stylists, barbers, massage therapists, and general volunteers to help them meet basic personal care needs for people experiencing homelessness.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the Cloud Covered Streets trailer rolls into a Fort Worth neighborhood and sets up a one-stop-shop for tasks most people don't give a second thought about doing.
"They feed you, they give you clothes, they freshen you up, and it's a new day," client Charles Green said smiling."I came here smelling like a polar bear. I leave here smelling like a French poodle!" Cloud Covered Streets offers showers and laundry services in its trailer. There are new socks, underwear, t-shirts, and shorts for clients to wear after they shower.The nonprofit also tries to have a stylist or barber volunteer on-site to give haircuts, shaves, and beard trims. Cloud Covered Streets is looking for more volunteers with professional grooming skills to help more people.
"We can't help everybody every single day, but those that we can, it's definitely fulfilling," Cloud Covered Streets Communications Director Sarah Daniel said."That haircut is something that we take for granted, just like a shower every day, but the confidence that somebody can have after getting a haircut!"
