Fresh Connect is just one of the many programs central to the mission of BCOC. We understand that poverty is not just a lack of financial resources but a complex web of interconnected challenges. It encompasses the social determinants of health, including access to adequate housing, nutritious food, employment opportunities, and education. By addressing these fundamental needs, we not only alleviate immediate suffering, but also lay the foundation for long-term stability and prosperity.

Our collective commitment to building a community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive is why we ask you to support our cause with a gift of $100 or give as generously as you can. Consider becoming a Bridge Builder, giving monthly, to meet this challenging work.  Together we can build a more equitable and prosperous Bucks County for generations to come.

BCOC has five major program areas: Housing, Food, Weatherization, Volunteer Income Tax Preparation (VITA) and the Economic Self-Sufficiency (ES) Program. Housing includes street outreach, rental and move in assistance and utility shut-off prevention. Food services distributes food directly to families through a network of over 75 food pantries and distribution sites. Weatherization services assist families in reducing their energy costs. VITA provides free income tax preparation assistance. The ES Program assists individuals and families to leave poverty permanently through case management, education, and employment.
