We sit down with Jessica Chappell, Executive Director of Safe Harbor of Chester County, to explore how her team provides shelter, meals, and compassionate support to adults experiencing homelessness. Jessica walks us through the realities facing the financially at risk population, the growing challenges around attainable housing, and the trauma-informed approach that guides the organization’s work. We discuss Safe Harbor’s partnerships, volunteer network, and the systemic pressures shaping homelessness in our county.OUR PARTNERSouthern Chester County Chamber of CommerceLINKSSafe Harbor of Chester CountyWebsite: safeharborofcc.orgInstagram: instagram.com/safeharbor_ofchestercountyFacebook: facebook.com/safeharborofchestercountyLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/safe-harbor-of-chester-county-inc/Givebutter (Donations/Events): givebutter.com/safe-harbor-of-chester-county-incLocal NonprofitsChester County Food BankWest Chester Food CupboardThe Melton Center – PA 211Act NowCamp DreamcatcherCrime Victims’ Center of Chester CountyAdditional LinksBetter Than Bacon ImprovUptown!
