Financial struggles are threatening the future of Shelter Services in Lewistown, which has been providing resources for the homeless since 1986. Despite support from local governments, private donations, and thrift stores, rising costs for utilities, insurance, and maintenance have put a strain on the shelter’s budget. If it cannot secure additional funding, the shelter may be forced to close, impacting the Mifflin, Juniata, and Huntingdon counties. Community members are urged to help out through donations or fundraising efforts, with an anonymous donor offering to match up to $10,000 in contributions.
