About Us
At York County CA$H we want to help you and your family build the assets you need to be financially secure. Assets are things like an education, a satisfying career, a home of your own, a business, savings, money skills, and—the most important thing—
HOPE—the magic bullet
Often the greatest challenge faced before we can even begin to build assets lies in igniting
HOPE—the realization that there is a possible path to a brighter future.
“Hope is a precondition for self-improvements,” asserts Stephen Brobeck of Consumer Federation of America. “If you have no hope for the future, why would you ever delay instant gratification?” Even many who are hope-full may have fallen into the habit of spending, consuming, trading-in and up for the bigger (or smaller) and the latest, while investment for future well-being remains merely an intention. Delaying the wants of today in favor of reaching more satisfying goals tomorrow can give us a greater sense of control and accomplishment—that belief (and proof) that we can plan and achieve desired goals. And when it comes to our finances, it’s amazing how small change—and small changes—really do add up.
