Mission Statement
Pottstown Beacon of Hope’s mission is based on hope, love, and grace and a willingness to come alongside Pottstown residents experiencing homelessness, by providing year-round emergency shelter and working together towards creating a better community for all.
Description
Homelessness is a community issue
Homeless people are residents of the community
Sheltering is stabilizing
Sheltering is about community
Services need to go to the people
It’s really about housing
There are many resources on a local level to address local need
We are grateful for the 100+ volunteers who chose to serve our guests. During the 22-23 winter months they served over 5,400 meals, shuttled guests to showers, collected clothing, coats, books, and toiletries, and graciously offered our guests their friendship. Additionally, we had countless community members join us in the clean up of abandoned homeless encampments in the Pottstown area.
During the 22-23 winter months we sheltered on average 24 men and women each night at our Warming Center that we operated in the basement of St. Paul’s UCC in Pottstown. In total we filled 4,239 beds. We are pleased to have been able to assist 38 of our guests in finding stable housing. We are grateful to the congregation and pastor of St. Paul’s for their unwavering support.
