We are so #BCOCProud to be a part of the Bucks County Community, where residents continue to step up and help out! Just recently, Sen. Steve Santarsiero held an electronics return & food drive. This event collected approx. 4,000 pounds of food for residents in need. This food will be distributed through BCOC's 75+ food pantry network & distributions.

"God Bless all of you for being here each month, through all types of weather. I do not know what we would do without your help each month," Mom in CSD.
Food shouldn't be an impossible choice for local families.
To help ease these choices, BCOC has a monthly school food program to provide produce and shelf stable foods to over 300 households within 4 Bucks County schools.
This is just one of our many efforts to #endhunger in Bucks County.
Thank you to everyone who followed us all September long as a part of @feedingamerica's #HunerActionMonth!

We are so #BCOCProud to have community members like Zachary who support our efforts to #addresspoverty and #endhunger here in Bucks County.

Hope of the Harvest is just one way BCOC actively tries to #endhunger in Bucks County. This program is a partnership with @delawarevalleyuniversity to grow over 50,000 pounds of produce for BCOC during the harvest season.
So far, DelVal has provided us with over 20,000 pounds of beautiful product that we’ve been able to share within our 70+ pantry network and Fresh Connect Produce distributions. Having partnerships with local organizations like DelVal are so impactful to the people receiving the produce because they know that someone close to home cares. Recipients of this food have been so grateful for the ability to eat locally grown produce that is amazing in taste.

For thousands of people in Bucks County, a daily meal isn’t a choice between different dishes. It's a choice between food and other basic needs—like medicine, electricity or doctor visits.
BCOC helps to decrease those impossible choices by providing food to hundreds of seniors monthly. To help in our distribution in Upper Bucks, we use the @buckgov cold storage space for the perishable items until they are personally delivered to a seniors home.

#TeamBCOC was out and about today! We started the morning off at the @lowerbuckschamber Keynote Networking Breakfast. We then made our way to @reptinadavis' Senior Expo. It is always so great connecting with our community and sharing all things #BCOC!
