Northeast Neighborhood Association

Northeast Neighborhood Association The Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) We operated a food pantry located in the Pine Street Center at the corner of E. Philadelphia St. and N. Pine St.

The History of the Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA)

NENA was established as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in 1996. In 2005. The local United Methodist Church Conference dissolved the charter of Christ's Hope Community Church and gifted us their building at 216 Chestnut St, York, PA 17405. This building has operated as NENA's home to the present. Chrystal Sexton-McEachin, our Direct

or of Community Services, began her association with NENA prior to 1996 as a volunteer and started as a paid employee in 1998. Chrystal is a lifelong resident of York City and a 20-year resident of the neighborhood. She is the matriarch of our neighborhood. The Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) provides emergency food, clothing, and household items. Every Monday from 10am-1pm and every Wednesday from 10am-1pm, anyone who is in need of these items can come to NENA and support will be provided. Although appointments are not necessary, visitors are required to bring photo ID for themselves and names and birthdates for all household members. Because NENA receives food through state and federal food programs, food items are permitted once a month.
