A place to land. A reason to stay.
The Beacon Resource Center
The Beacon is York’s only daytime resource center for people experiencing homelessness, open five afternoons a week at 140 N. Duke Street, York, Pa.
Our neighbors come in to sit down, charge a phone, get a haircut, drink a cup of coffee, and talk to someone who knows their name.
But The Beacon is more than a drop-in center. It’s where relationships start and resources are available.
Volunteers and staff show up consistently, week after week, so that trust can build and real conversations can happen. Community partners come on-site to meet with people directly, removing barriers like transportation and wait times that keep our neighbors from getting help.
What happens at The Beacon
A safe, climate-controlled space to rest. Hot and cold drinks, snacks, and basic supplies. Haircuts and hygiene essentials. Mail pickup and phone charging. Cots for rest. Connections to immediate medical professionals, legal aid, housing advocates, behavioral health support, and more.
The Beacon Resource Center is open Monday through Friday from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m.
