Individuals are invited to share their thoughts

and memories about the work of

York County Shelter Programs over

the past thirty years for an upcoming book on

the history of the Shelter.

The book will be an informal account 

tracing the Shelter from its primitive beginnings

in 1979 in the old brick jail to its current

location on Shaker Hill.  This publication

will document the Shelter's transformation 

over the years as it has blossomed and

evolved into a major presence in assisting 

those in need throughout York County.

There will be many photos and contributions

in the book from people from all backgrounds - law

enforcement, past and present employees,

individuals from local, state, and national agencies, 

former residents, people in public service, Board 

members, volunteers, and various supporters 

over the years.

This collaborative history of the 

first thirty years of the York County

Shelter Programs, where everyone 

is invited to share their thoughts, is in line

with the mission of the Shelter

to foster projects that are

all-inclusive and community-based.

Anyone who has Shelter-related

memories or stories that they would like

to share or photos or memorabilia that they are 

willing to lend for this publication is 

strongly encouraged to do so.
