Interfaith hospitality network

Fourteen York County congregations utilize classrooms and other facilities to offer homeless families with minor children overnight shelter, meals, and hospitality. Each congregation hosts the guest families for a week at a time, about four times a year, on a rotating schedule. Seven other congregations assist the hosts by providing volunteer services. Family Promise of York County is able to serve up to 4 families at a time in this program and provides a unique and valuable service to the area by accepting one and two parent families. Unlike other programs serving the homeless, fathers and teen aged boys are able to remain with their families. Pregnant women also qualify as a family unit.
