Mobile shower program seeks to pour kindness and confidence into the unhoused

Ever since she was a student at Rockledge Elementary in Bowie, Md., Omolayo Adebayo has always had the desire to give back to those in need. Now, 32, Adebayo of Bowie does that and more through her nonprofit organization, the Neighborhood Well. Founded in 2017, the organization has sought to meet the unhoused and others. Adebayo and her team started out by giving “Blessing Bags,” bundles of food, toiletries and other resources while also offering support through talking and praying with those in the surrounding Hyattsville community.
