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. Thank you @buckscountyhousinggroup @feedingpa @mahninmontco @rollingharvestfoodrescue_ @buckscountygovt #nonprofit #antihunger #buckscounty

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. Luke’s 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!
