Overview
This program has been in existence sine 1967 when teachers became aware that 3 of their students had not eaten in several days. The PTA Welfare Committee provided food for the family.As a result, other families' needs for food, clothing, shelter and medical care were realized.
In 1968, a non-profit organization was formed and named the York County Volunteer Association, Inc.
The mission of the YCVA is to provide assistance to those in need in our local community of York County/Poquoson. Profits from the Bargain Box sales provide money for emergency assistance to families, for vocational scholarships, for daycare assistance, as well as for grants to other organizations that serve the community.

Bargain Box News
The Bargain Box is always in need of donations to support York County and Poquoson organizations. Due to limited space we are unable to accept large furniture to include couches, chairs, table, wall units, mattresses, bed frames, wardrobes, or dressers. Small electrical appliances in working order may be accepted and our intake volunteers can advise if we can accept your items. Items on recall lists or items requiring special handling (paint, solvent, tires,etc.)cannot be accepted. Drop off items are accepted at the rear of our store or may be placed in the drop-off boxes provided. We ask that you not drop off items and leave them outside as they may become unusable due to inclement weather.
Come by and visit us. Our prices are reasonable and our volunteers are always ready to make you feel welcome.
One of the key assets at the Bargain Box are our team of volunteers who donate many hours a week to support our community. We appreciate your patronage and donations.
