Come As U R, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization, under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It was founded on the values our father instilled in us from a young age. Growing up, he often took our family to Baja, Mexico to help those in need. We would bring food, clothing, and during the holidays, deliver stockings filled with nuts, candy, fruit, and small gifts to children and families.
These early experiences stayed with us. Years later, Steve and his sister Denise felt called to start a backpack ministry in honor of their father’s compassion for the homeless. They began distributing backpacks filled with hygiene products, snacks, bottled water, socks, and handwritten notes filled with love, encouragement, and faith. These simple items became a way to connect and care for those living on the streets.
At times, Steve even transported individuals to nearby truck stops to shower. Seeing their transformation afterward inspired him to explore a way to offer showers without needing to travel. That idea led to the next step in our journey.
Today, we’re excited to share that our ministry has grown. We now offer showers through a portable shower trailer—bringing dignity and care directly to those who need it most.
