Shippensburg

This shelter will be their temporary home ’til the parents can get back on their feet, where they will have the time that can help them find and keep jobs and homes. Meanwhile their kids (as young as newborns and as old as teenagers) can have a safe, healthy and comfortable environment to be raised in – environments that we take for granted on a daily basis. You may have never felt the fear, discomfort, embarrassment etc... of not knowing where you will sleep, but maybe you know all too well. We are proud to say that now there are dozens less kids that don’t have to know that as their reality anymore.

Located at 206 E. Burd Street in Shippensburg PA Community CARES Family Shelter shelters up to 8 families a day. Each family is given their own room, sink and toilet with shared shower and kitchen facilities. There is a kids play room, conference/homework room, clothing room and supplies for regular hygiene and daily care.

We partner with many agencies to assist in providing food support, transportation, employment, budget building, housing search, and much more.
