Our approach to helping homeless when no shelter is available is to provide the necessary supplies needed to survive extreme cold weather in the winter months.

As much as we do not like letting homeless try to survive in outside winter conditions, there's not much we can do when shelters are at capacity other then provide the supplies needed to survive in extreme cold, but before we resort to our winter program we will exhaust all our shelter contacts to see if shelter is available. If we cannot locate any shelter to put a roof over a homeless persons head, we will turn to our winter program. We will then provide supplies to homeless with list that give locations of Code Blue locations to get in out of the cold during day time hours, A list of shelters in York, Pa., a list of Severe weather Survival tips and other needed information to help survive in the cold weather.
