For many who are homeless or underserved, access to a warm shower, clean clothes and a haircut is a dream. Hot summer days pose a particular challenge because few respites from the heat can be found. The MASH Resource Days provided these individuals with relief that may seem basic to some, but is far from it for many. One participant shared that after taking a shower and receiving basic personal care items, he felt confident to take on his upcoming job interview. Another participant felt so touched by the experience that he is now volunteering his time to help fellow homeless and underserved community members. 5 A NEWSLETTER FOR FRIENDS OF THE MOUNT CARMEL FOUNDATION | SPRING 2016

Mount Carmel’s proud to be a Catholic Hospital and operate as such. However, regardless of our religious beliefs, Mount Carmel signifies what we are called to practice — reverence, commitment to the poor, justice, stewardship, integrity, compassion and excellence.
