The safety net for people who lose their housing in Harrisburg and other parts of central Pennsylvania has strengthened in recent years. But the resources for what are called ‘hardcore homeless’ people — those who for whatever reason do not wish to enroll in programs that could lead to housing — remains limited.
If you’d like to help, here’s a list of some of the local organizations whose mission is to assist those who are homeless in the Harrisburg region with food, clothes, showers, mail service, assistance referrals and overnight shelter.
How to help Harrisburg’s homeless:
Downtown Daily Bread: A year-round day shelter; a winter men’s night shelter; and a seven-day-a-week soup kitchen located at 234 South Street, top floor; 9 a.m. to noon Monday – Fridays; adults ages 18 years and older
To help: visit www.downtowndailybread.org; or send a check made to Downtown Daily Bread, 301 N. Third St., Harrisburg, PA 17101; Give by credit card www.downtowndailybread.org; or collect and drop-off essential items that the organization distributes to homeless clients.
