The mission of the Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC) is to reduce poverty and partner with our community to promote self-sufficiency.
BCOC is the lead anti-poverty, 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. As the designated Community Action agency for the county, it is part of a national network of over 1,000 agencies established in 1965 as part of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. We are dedicated to ending poverty by connecting people with the resources they need to thrive. Head to our website for more information! #nonforprofit #buckscounty
Let’s go, Bucks County! Happy Election Day, Everyone!

We will be closed tomorrow for Election Day. There will be no Fresh Connect Warminster. Have a great day, everyone!
Thank you to the parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel for participating in our Poverty Simulation this weekend.
The participants assumed a role and had to navigate their way through work, school, child care, health and other day-to-day commitments and emergency situations. While we can never truly understand what those experiencing poverty go through every day, this is a small way for our community to understand the need for our anti-poverty programs. Awareness is a key catalyst for lasting change.

Thank you, @atsubarusellersville and @autodealerscaringforkids!!!!
The Auto Dealers Caring for Kids Foundation began this program in 2008 with one simple mission: to provide brand-new winter coats to impoverished children in the five-county Philadelphia area. BCOC became a partner with A & T Subaru in 2017, and since then they have provided us with brand new coats for clients in our Quakertown office each year. This year we received 248 coats in every color and every size...ready to keep our local residents warm and cozy.
Happy Diwali to all those who celebrate! May it be a strong reminder that light always overcomes darkness. 🪔

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our colleague and friend, Allen Johnson, passed away last week. Allen worked for BCOC for the past 7 years, but he worked in the Bucks County community for many more years with partner organizations. Allen was a pillar in the homeless services field who advocated fiercely for our unhoused neighbors. While we are heartbroken, we have peace in knowing that Allen passed away doing what he loved, helping people and changing lives. We will post funeral arrangements as soon as they are available, and it is our plan to host a memorial service in the coming weeks to celebrate Allen’s life and legacy. Allen will be missed. 💔
Time. Resources. Talent. All ways to give. Head to our website to learn about opportunities to support our mission to reduce poverty, and partner with our community to promote self-sufficiency.

It’s #weatherizationwednesday! What does that mean? It means that if you or a friend or family member qualify, we have a program that can help you with repairs to your cooling and heating systems. Which means lower energy costs for people on low or fixed incomes. Head to our website to learn more! #nonprofit #buckscounty
The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members. Thank you Magellan Health for contributing to our community’s greatness today! Their volunteers helped distribute produce at Fresh Connect, our weekly farmer’s market. Together, we can make an impact on those experiencing homelessness in our county!
Looking to get involved? There’s still time to donate to the Annual Bucks-Mont Food Drive. Head to our link in our bio for more information.
