WHO ARE CARLISLE C.A.R.E.S.?
Carlisle C.A.R.E.S. provides emergency support and shelter for the homeless in Carlisle. The shelter program is run almost entirely by volunteers, and local churches take turns providing space for up to 30 people per night. At the Carlisle CARES Resource Center, mail, telephone, and computer services, laundry and showers, and counseling is available. Open during the day when homeless shelters are closed, programs at the Resource Center partner with area agencies to provide educational, medical, legal, and employment counseling services. These programs are not only open to the people of Carlisle C.A.R.E.S., but also to Safe Harbour, the Salvation Army, and domestic violence shelters. Since its founding in 2004, the organization has helped shelter more than 1,000 people in Cumberland and western Perry counties. In 2009 alone, they helped over 500 people.
