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 “simulation” isn’t a game. It’s 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. 💚
Volunteer Appreciation🤝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. It’s 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 someone’s life, and donate today!

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week!
We couldn’t let another day go by without acknowledging the dozens of volunteers who keep our programs afloat, every single week. We truly couldn’t do what we do without them. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are the embodiment of #communityinaction and we are grateful for every single one of you. Thank you!
Here at BCOC we don’t do anything halfway. We are passionate about helping the community, and always give 100 percent…so help us reach 100 percent of our Spring Appeal Fundraising Goal!
Gene and Marlene Epstein have generously offered to match our goal, and we’re halfway there! The link to donate is in our stories, on our website, and in our Community Connections Newsletter. Thank you! #nonprofit #buckscounty #fundraising
