White Rose Outreach

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit charity located in York, PA. 100% volunteer staffed ($0 overhead), 100% community funded.

These are some services we have provided: Some are large, some are small, we tried to include examples of each. It is not a complete list, just a bakers dozen examples. Note - we never give money, all payments are made to third parties. (Landlords, hotels, etc.) The larger ones were done through goal specific fundraisers.

Our #1 priority.  We hand out toiletries and other necessities every month on the 4th Sunday to the homeless and many others who live on the edge of homelessness. (Elderly on extremely low fixed income, young families just starting out, families who had one bad incident ruin their already precarious finances). All of the items we provide are items that cannot be purchased with a SNAP card (aka food stamps). We serve approx. 150 to 200 individuals per month. Please see our website for a complete list of items we collect and distribute.

2. We have gathered baby supplies for young mothers without means to get necessities on their own and connected others who have household items to give with those in need, and if the items are small enough, we pickup and deliver. 

3. Helped families with rent to stop eviction when one crisis derailed their finances. (We do not have the means to help anyone on a permanent basis, these are just hand ups from a temporary situation) Note: there are programs to help with this, we send people there first, but those programs are under-funded and at certain times of year simply have no money available.
