It is hard to believe that it is more than ten years since a wonderful group of people got together with the mission to help the homeless.  Servants to All has been serving the homeless 2012. At the time there were no homeless shelters in Schuylkill County for men and women, but a greater need existed and was going unmet. People in the area found themselves homeless for a wide variety of reasons, including alcohol or drug issues, loss of employment, or illness. For these individuals, limited homeless service providers meant that transitioning back into life after homelessness was a challenge which may have seemed insurmountable. People who found themselves in desperate situations now have one centralized location where they can receive housing, meals, case management, and referrals that are best suited to fit all of their needs. 

Servants to All has accomplished numerous significant milestones. Initially our organization began to address homelessness in Schuylkill County by providing necessities to the area’s most vulnerable homeless individuals and families through mobile distribution centers. Since that time, STA has increased its organizational capacity and has successfully established a permanent location for homeless services, as well as overnight shelter.  Achieving the goal of establishing homeless services in Schuylkill County is remarkable given the fact that, at the time the organization was formed, there were no homeless shelters in Schuylkill County for the general population.  We continue to be the only emergency shelter program in Schuylkill County that serves the general population.

Over the course of the next few years, Servants to All incorporated additional critical programs to meet the county’s needs. Servants to All became a PA 211 Access Site and began to provide services in August 2019.In January 2020 we enhanced our Homeless Prevention services.  Our Homeless Prevention program consists of a blend of case management, and financial assistance provided to individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness.  In December 2019, we began our Street Outreach program to provide the essential services necessary to reach out to unsheltered homeless people and connect them with emergency shelter, housing, or other critical services.  This program expanded with Street Medicine in the fall of 2022.STA now has a walk-in clinic for the homeless, as well as Psychiatric services that have been implemented in July of 2024.
