A downtown resource that has offered shade, food and water to those experiencing homelessness has now added showers to the mix. Urban Alchemy’s Oasis, which is located between the 8th Street Shelter and ARCH downtown, now offers free showers, available 12 hours each day to anyone who needs them. The showers have already been used by 250 guests since they opened.
