Streetside Showers

What Streetside Showers does

Streetside Showers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 in McKinney, Texas, by Lance Olinski after witnessing a homeless individual washing in a public restroom sink. The organization provides mobile hot shower services, clothing, and hot meals to people experiencing homelessness in North Texas, operating across 7+ cities including Carrollton, Dallas (Oak Cliff and Downtown), Garland, Greenville, Irving, McKinney, and Plano, and has extended operations to Florida (Brevard County and Palm Bay). The core technology consists of 5 mobile shower trailers equipped with multiple stalls containing sinks, showers, toilets, and tankless hot water heaters, plus 2 converted clothing vehicles that function as walk-in closets (Streetside Closet). Services are delivered at scheduled locations on rotating weekly schedules in partnership with 10+ churches and community centers.

The organization operates three integrated service lines under the Streetside brand: Streetside Showers (the core mobile shower service with hygiene kits including socks and underwear), Streetside Closet (mobile clothing distribution), and Streetside Table (hot meals sourced from donated food). All services are provided free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, with no appointment required. The operational team consists of 5 core staff members (founder/CEO, operations coordinator, mobile service manager, donations coordinator, and social media coordinator) supplemented by volunteers, with food preparation and on-site service delivery handled by volunteer groups.

Streetside Showers is funded entirely by tax-deductible donations from individuals and corporate partners, with no institutional investors, private equity involvement, or parent company. Corporate partners include Bombas (socks and underwear), H-E-B (grocery), Credit Union of Texas (donation drop-off and corporate support), Garage Door Doctor, Smith Thompson, and SimpleAF Brands. The go-to-market model is community-led, relying on volunteer networks, church partnerships, earned media coverage (Dallas Morning News, WFAA News 8, CW33), and social media presence. The organization holds a registered trademark for "StreetsideShowers" and maintains independent nonprofit status with no subsidiaries.
