“It’s not here to be a burden to the community, it’s here to be a resource to the community and something we can be proud of.”

Marie Timpano, Director of The Cornerstone of Beaver County spoke those words to Matt Drzik on the February 22 edition of A.M. Beaver County in regards to the 24/7 men’s shelter set to be built in Vanport Township. She was joined by TCBC Shelter Manager Chris Anderson to talk about the shelter following the recent securing of funds for its pending construction.

Both Timpano and Anderson spoke optimistically about the opportunities that the men’s shelter will provide those struggling to live their lives on an everyday basis, and gratefully thanked all of TCBC’s partners that have helped make the shelter a reality-to-be. The construction process may have its delays due to the supply chain issues currently affecting the nation, but Timpano says that they hope to see the new shelter completed by late summer 2022.
