The funding assistance of WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital, made possible through the Gettysburg Hospital Foundation, will total $150,000 annually for a three-year period in support of the 24/7 shelter at 151 N. Stratton St. in Gettysburg.

“The funding from WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital will not only allow us to maximize the services and operations of the shelter but will also provide us with the time to determine and develop future funding opportunities,” said Megan Shreve, chief executive officer, SCCAP.

“We have a shared belief with SCCAP that a person’s health and wellness is directly influenced by aspects of their lives that are sometimes out of their control,” said Jane Hyde, Ph.D., senior vice president, WellSpan Health and president, WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital. “SCCAP and their shelter provide an important option to families experiencing housing challenges and is a very important service to our community serving more than 60 families every year.”
