And just like that, the Hope of the Harvest season has come to an end. And what a season it was!Overall we had an overall 168 volunteers and 7 businesses participate in harvesting produce for struggling families. @delvalhoh is a very special program that exemplifies what it means to serve the community. We are so grateful to everyone who made it into the fields with us this. Already counting down the days to next season!

The road may be long, but every mile brings you closer to your destination. We are THRILLED to announce that for our latest Wheels2Work recipient, the road ahead looks clear and bright! She now has a reliable way to get to work and school. And thanks to @aaaautoclubenterprises (Langhorne) she also received a free AAA membership to ensure that she and her son are safe and protected, no matter what the future brings.
Special thanks to @bbackcarcare for working overtime to get the donor car in top shape!

Last Week, @philabundance and BCOC, brought together several hunger relief organizations to talk to @repbrianfitz regarding the farm bill and the need for continued support. We are grateful to have the support of our elected officials, who understand how crucial this legislation is to the success of our community.

Kelly, a 28-year-old woman, came to BCOC through the Coaches on Campus program, seeking assistance with rent and utilities because she had to reduce her hours at work to complete her clinicals and study. The RN program at Bucks County Community College (BCCC) is very rigorous and time consuming, but Kelly was dedicated and knew that eventually the hard work would pay off.
Kelly chose to enroll in our Economic Self-Sufficiency (ES) program in January 2024 and accomplished so much in such little time! Kelly received some tuition assistance, as well as gift cards for food and gas. The gift cards were especially valuable to Kelly because they helped her with basic needs and gas money so that she could keep her job. Since completing the RN program last May, Kelly went from part time at Doylestown Hospital to full-time at St. Lukeās Hospital.
Kelly is a very determined person who worked hard to make her dreams come true. She experienced many hardships, however, with BCOC support to complete the program at BCCC a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. We are all excited for the next big chapter of her life!
BCOC filled LOTS of buckets today with the help of our board members, @chase bank, Rolling Harvest Food Rescue, and volunteers from our community! Together they harvested around 2,400lbs of apples to be distributed to local food programs. Such a great way to help feed #buckscounty! Head to our website for more information on how you can get involved with BCOC!
So long, September! It was a wonderful month of new beginnings, new challenges, and new opportunities to serve our community. We canāt wait for what October has in store! As always, donāt miss out on all things BCOC! Check out our website, sign up for our newsletter, and get involved! #nonprofit #buckscounty #bcocproud
