YC3 Basic Needs Subcommittee
The Basic Needs Subcommittee convenes every other month to address the essential needs of York County residents. The primary objective of this subcommittee is to identify and address the basic needs of the community and ensure that these needs are being effectively met.
Our Mission

By working together, we can identify unmet needs, connect residents with support, and develop solutions that create a stronger, healthier community.
