💪 LHM Beam Teams in Action!

In late June, Beam Team members volunteered at LifePath York, serving lunch at the men’s shelter. Community based Beam Team volunteers deploy to other nonprofit organizations to help them deliver on their missions – because when we work together, one plus one can equal three! 🔢

🚧 Construction update: the dining room is looking great! Meal time represents more than nourishment for the body. The sense of belonging that accompanies gathering to share a meal can provide nourishment for the spirit as well. We want the dining room serving our Horizons transitional housing program to provide our participants a place to gather, connect, and create community. We are so grateful to generous donors sponsoring this important space.🌻

The recent renovations have opened up the dining room to make it more welcoming and accessible, by:

🚶‍♂️ Widening the entrance to create more room for the flow of traffic as participants enter and exit.

🍽️ Removing a wall that inhibited diners’ ability to access the dish return area. This also created a clear line of sight from dining tables to the restrooms – important for parents of young children! 👨‍👩‍👦

LHM Foundation’s Horizons transitional housing program in Harrisburg, PA, will open in January 2026. Find out more at https://lhm-foundation.org/lhm-horizons/. 🌅

Meet Anna!

Anna is a Patient Care Coordinator at LHM Physical Therapy Institute, but she’s also a regular LHM Foundation Beam Team volunteer, serving lunches, packing boxes, and helping to ready the future home of the Horizons transitional housing program for its January 2026 opening.

“I really enjoy volunteering and being part of the LHM Beam Teams,” Anna says. “There’s always laughter and a great sense of connection. At the same time, we’re doing something that truly matters, and being part of that bigger purpose makes it all incredibly rewarding. Sometimes it’s just the hope that a small gesture can ease someone’s burden.”

If you’re considering volunteering with the Beam Teams, here’s what Anna would like you to know: “Everyone starts somewhere – and this is a great place to begin. You’ll find support, community and a chance to do something that truly matters.”

Thank you, Anna! You truly are a bright light at LHM Foundation!

Creating spaces in which to serve others! A huge thank you to M&T Bank for their incredibly generous donation of office furniture to LHM Foundation.

This support helps build out administrative office space at the future home of our Horizons transitional housing program. We’ll be moving our offices to the new LHM Foundation campus this fall, so that our administrative team can be on-site with the community we serve. 🚚

We are so grateful to M&T Bank for their commitment to meeting local needs and building inclusive communities. 💚

People experiencing homelessness are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather. According to a recent study out of Boston University, heat-related mortality rates amongst unhoused populations are substantially higher than in the general population.

Communities can take public health measures to reduce the impact of heat on unhoused individuals, including:

🏫 Opening cooling stations that provide relief from high temperatures, in places like senior centers, libraries, and churches throughout the area. During the recent heatwave, cooling stations in Dauphin County were announced on local news websites. You can also call PA 211 for updates on locations and hours.

💧 Making drinking water accessible. If you live on a bustling street, consider leaving a cooler of water bottles outdoors during heat advisories. You can also donate water bottles to local shelters or food banks, or advocate for more public drinking water stations in your town or city.

🌳 Incorporating greenspace and shade in urban design. Trees, parks, and shaded areas lower temperatures and provide life-saving shelter during extreme heat. Advocating for green infrastructure supports everyone’s health!

Ultimately, access to affordable housing is one of the most important ways to protect those at risk. Let’s work to keep each other safe in the heat!
