Any person living in the street should take frequent showers. At least those you can get from Social Services when being there around 9AM to take your number. However, as this morning time lapses when you could have your daily warm meal by Mother Theresa, you have a choice there to make.
I have been visiting Social Services office at Av Meridiana 197, but there should be more like Centre de Dia Poble Sec in Calle Fontfonrada 8. You again will get your number and will wait over an hour for your turn.
On same address in Meridiana is possible to ask more Social Food but usually they will deny such kind of request. At least yesterday one young black guy having Spanish residency card and being denied called the Police. He just didn’t believe that society will leave him and his family to die for the hunger and refused to leave the building.
At least you can get some food being jailed and from my experiences they are sending you to the mental institution check where you can get some food again for next weeks until the same procedure begin again.
That’s why Mother Theresa has become from India now to feed Europeans as EU economy cannot afford it anymore.
With the clothes there is kind of recycling process going one as when you give your dirty ones to them you can choose some others clean ones. Seems to be working OK as who wants to own tons of clothes anyway and always buy new ones.
But I would like to keep my underwear and jeans my own, and you won’t get a proper boots and leather jackets from them.
What I can only complain is that usually the water for shower is too cold and why cannot I have my head shaven there?
