In January of this year, Terry Stottlemyer was given a choice too many people have to make: pay up, or get out. Unable to meet their landlord’s increased rates, he and his wife turned to Bell Family Shelter with nowhere else to go. They stayed the full 30 days before exiting to live in their […]
Marla Urey has been volunteering at Bell for several years. She learned about Bell from working in an intermediate unit, and when she found out her boys needed to complete a certain number of community service hours for school, she connected with outreach coordinator Janel Fox to see what they could do. Ever since then, […]
Today at Bell Family Shelter has been generously adopted by Conor and Rae McKee! When they moved to York two years ago, Conor and Rae wanted to establish an immediate, positive impact on their new community.

What an honor it was for Bell to be chosen as the beneficiary of the 45th running of the York White Rose Run last fall. In 2022, runners of the race directly donated almost $800, and the York Road Runners Club board voted to add all of the income minus race expenses to Bell for […]

When proceeds from those sales are donated to Bell, unhoused York County families have a place to rest and regroup […]
