Please join us at our

60th Anniversary Gala

We’re thrilled that Broadway veteran and Bucks County native Jenny Lee Stern will join us at the Gala for a special performance, featuring songs from Wicked.

A Drama Desk nominee with powerhouse vocals, Jenny Lee has lit up stages from ROCKY and A Christmas Story on

Broadway to national tours of Jersey Boys.

Don’t miss this unforgettable appearance from one of our own.

Here's Jenny Lee performing one of her iconic roles as Judy Garland, singing Over the Rainbow, of course!

Donate a car for Wheelz2Work and receive a $1,000 incentive through the month of September!*

The Gene and Marlene Epstein Humanitarian Fund is excited to announce an incentive program designed to increase the capacity of BCOC's Wheelz2Work program.

Wheelz2Work matches donated cars with BCOC Economic Self-Sufficiency (ES) clients who are struggling with transportation as a barrier to meeting their financial goals. *This incentive offers a $1,000 cash reward to anyone who donates a car which is deemed acceptable by BCOC and a certified mechanic through September 2025.

Gene Epstein, a generous local philanthropist, remembers the hardships of his childhood, “From personal experiences when I was a young person, and we were being evicted from our home, the direst need was transportation. Today we see so many people, particularly in Bucks County, who have no access to public transportation and without that they cannot get to work or local colleges.”

BCOC clients enrolled in the ES Program are selected for a car donation when they meet a list of pre-determined criteria, including financial readiness to take on the responsibility of owning a vehicle. Donated automobiles must be in good working condition or only in need of minor repairs. BCOC has each car checked by a mechanic for road worthiness and safety, before passing it on to the new owner.

In the decade that the program has been active, nearly 120 cars have been donated to deserving, hard-working people.

Hunger Action Month Continues

"Last year, my son and grandson needed to move in with me due to a health issue for my son. The added cost to my grocery bill became overwhelming, and Fresh Connect was a saving grace to help ensure I could bring in healthy, nutritious food on my limited budget. I am so grateful for having that available when I was struggling. Now, I am able to give back and I truly understand how much it means."-L.L.

Did you know that 64,000 Bucks County Residents are food-insecure? That's nearly 10% of the county population and over 60% of those people make too much money to qualify for SNAP benefits. As the lead food agency for Bucks County, BCOC is committed to addressing these needs and working to ensure that none of our neighbors go to bed hungry.

Are you looking for ways to get involved? You can make a monetary donation, a food donation, host a food drive, or volunteer your time. Visit our website to learn more. We truly appreciate all that this community does to make life better for all of us!

Last year we distributed over 3 million pounds of food...with your help, we can do even more this year!

TUFH Conference on the Move

BCOC was honored to be a part of the Towards Unity For Health (TUFH) 2025 Conference which was set in the Greater Philadelphia area this year. This annual event, which has taken place since 1979, brings together academic organizations and global health providers into a single event. Participants visited Hope of the Harvest to see how we work with Delaware Valley University to grow and provide local produce to food pantries and distributions throughout Bucks County, impacting health equity by improving food quality and access.
