Storing Hope: Cloud Covered Streets’ Journey to Cache House

May 5, 2024

Empowering Change Through Collaborative Support

In 2020, Cloud Covered Streets emerged in Phoenix, Arizona, with a heartfelt mission: to provide hope, compassion, and essential resources to those experiencing homelessness. Founded by Robert Thornton, the initiative began with a single shower trailer, addressing the need for basic hygiene facilities. Inspired by his shirt company, Paper Clouds Apparel, Robert saw an opportunity to offer more than just showers. Providing fresh clothing and dignity to guests became integral to Cloud Covered Streets’ vision.

The journey from Phoenix to Fort Worth was serendipitous. A chance encounter between musician Courtney Patton and volunteer Margaret Smith sparked the expansion. Witnessing the shower trailer’s impact firsthand, Margaret recognized its potential to uplift Fort Worth. Thus, Cloud Covered Streets extended its reach, delivering hope and supplies to those in need.

Cloud Covered Streets stands as a beacon of compassion, offering free showers, laundry, haircuts, clothing, supplies, and employment assistance. Their goal is clear: to empower individuals to reclaim their path to a brighter future.
