Founder
Marcia Hall, CEO
I have the opportunity and the honor to serve the homeless for many years and I still serve them today.
One day a young lady approaches the desk at the outreach center where I serve at the time.
Her hair and clothes were a little dirty, her face was a little cleaner than her hair and clothes, there was dirty under her small fingernails, and she had an unpleasant smell to 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 a lot of requests for clothing, hygiene items, etc. but her requests struck me to my core, to think 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 fresh up using the sink and water and giving her 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.
So that started my search for a solution to this basic need and to find that solution quickly. My research begins; talking with other people, seeking information where or if this service were offer any where in out community, how to start a nonprofit organization and how to serve the community with excellence and with integrity. To my surprise a hot shower service was no available. That is how the concept of Mrbubblez Inc. was born (portable showers for the homeless). I went into pray about the need of others; God gave me a vision for the portable showers (to take the service out 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 4 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 body and soul as God healed my body of that disease. Here I am many years later healed and Mrbubblez Inc showers have now blessed numerous of homeless families, men, and women in our community.
With Gratitude,
Marcia Hall

"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.
