ALLVETS is a non-profit organization, founded in 2015 by the late Jim Bean, a Vietnam veteran, to collect the stories of local veterans. Each month a different veteran from any branch of the military who served in any capacity shares his or her story about their service to our country. This program is recording and recordings are added to the York County History Center archives.

The ALLVETS usually meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm at the Historical Society Museum, 121 N. Pershing Ave., York. Occasionally, special round tables are held on Saturdays. Due to the holiday schedule, no programs are held in November or December. Meetings are FREE and open to the public.
