Back-to-School at our Bristol Office

You made this happen! All of your generosity and good-will is sending our clients' children into the new school year well-equipped and full of hope! Thank you for the gift cards, backpacks, school supplies, and personal touches...we are so excited for these amazing kids. They are definitely on the path to success!

We'd also like to thank the Gene and Marlene Epstein Humanitarian Fund for their generous $7,000 matching gift!

A Full Circle Moment!

Chris, a former Economic Self-Sufficiency client, joined his coach Blanca at our Middletown Grange Fair table. We were thrilled to have him, and he proved to be an excellent ambassador for BCOC. Thank you, Chris!

Thank you to National Charity League (NCL) and

Charles River Labs for all of your help at the Grange Fair...we could not have done it without you!

Hope of the Harvest Fun!

The team from Poretta and Orr had a fantastic morning at DelVal University harvesting all kinds of produce. This produce was then distributed at one of our Fresh Connect farmers market style pantries...within days. This is how you, our community, help us put nutritious food on every table! Does your team want to get involved?

Volunteer here or reach out to Danielle Bush at dbush@bcoc.org/215-45-8175 x209.
