All month long weāll be sharing the many faces of BCOC and the crucial roles they play in our organization (and beyond). Meet Joe, our Development Director!
Got a question about fundraising? Want to get your company involved in more philanthropic pursuits? Joe can help! Community Action Programs can only help people, through the blending and braiding of public and private partnerships in the community. Joe helps facilitate those partnerships, to move the needle for the hundreds of Bucks County residents facing poverty. Thanks Joe!

Could you survive a month in poverty?
Yesterday our team hosted a Poverty Simulation at Bucks County Community College. The simulation provides participants with the opportunity to assume the role of a low income family member living on a tight budget.
This āsimulationā isnāt a game. Itās the realty for so many people living in Bucks County. Getting to walk in their shoes for a day highlights the need for our crucial support programs.
Great job everyone! Head to our website for ways you can get involved. Together we can work to put an end to poverty in Bucks County. š
Volunteer Appreciationš¤Food Friday
Volunteer Appreciation Week may be coming to an end, but our gratitude towards our volunteers lasts all year round! Here are some awesome volunteer snapshots from Fresh Connect, our free farmers market offering fresh healthy produce to our hungry neighbors. Itās a special program, made possible by special people who donate their time to serve the community. THANK YOU!
(If you are looking to get involved, head to our website for volunteer opportunities!)
17 Graduates.
Over 400 graduate families.
Free of all government assistance.
This program breaks cycles, and builds legacies.
This group of 17 graduates alone went from over $100,000 in government subsidies to $0. $1 donated saves over $4.60 in subsidies. Be a catalyst in someoneās life, and donate today!
