Pueblo Cooperative Care
Mobile Shower Program
​
The Mobile Shower Trailer Program (MSP) is back in business after a long winter. This program was implemented some 4 years ago by Joe and Linda Musso. They had a vision to see that the homeless people of Pueblo County had a place to come and get a hot shower. On May 8, 2024, the city celebrated the opening and 11,000 showers given. Below is a schedule for May on the location where the homeless community can go to get a shower. If you would like to volunteer to help with this program, call Pueblo Cooperative Care or drop in at one of the locations below. They would love to have you join their team.
