The Beacon Resource Center: functions as a part-time day shelter and community resource hub for individuals facing (or at risk of ) homelessness in York City. Initially designed as a refuge for unsheltered individuals and those in overnight emergency shelters to rest, receive mail, charge their phones, access restrooms, enjoy snacks, get their hair cut, meet with support services, and find respite from the elements, it has since grown to offer resources from community partners. These resources assist individuals in navigating the complexities of housing, employment, and healthcare services.
Volunteers at The Beacon are required to submit the following clearances:
- Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance
- Pennsylvania State Police Request for Criminal Records Check
- FBI Criminal History Background Check
