The Bucks County Opportunity Council is an incredible organization that is committed to ending poverty in Bucks County. They support people with many different resources and the coaching needed to better their lives and better the community.
I became involved with the Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC)because I wanted to help improve life for the people in my community. BCOC is involved , not only with moving people out of poverty but also with helping them as they make that difficult transition. In addition it helps these people become self sufficient.
As I like to paraphrase an old saying “it gives people a fish and teaches them how to fish” at the same time.
We all have challenges that occur in our lives and BCOC helps the people of Bucks County face and overcome these challenges.
It is a first rate organization run by first rate people.
The Bucks County Opportunity Council has not missed an opportunity to serve the community. Since the pandemic's earliest days they were at the forefront pivoting their operations to meet the communities increased needs. Their employees worked tirelessly around the clock to source, organize and deliver services in the absence of volunteers for several months. I recently helped at the Fresh Connect event in Bristol and despite the rain, facemasks, and long lines of people in need, the BCOC staff made a point to connect with as many clients as possible by dancing, waving and telling jokes! It lifted my heart and I could tell that the clients had a good experience.

Through our partnership with the Bucks County Opportunity Council, we have positively impact the lives of many clients/students by giving them the education and training they deserve. The stories of those clients are uplifting, emotional, and inspiring and motivate us, as a community partner, to do even more. The BCOC is an organization that cares and gets the results we all want. Bucks County Community College is a proud partner and supporter of the Opportunity Council.
BCOC does an awesome job helping those in need in Bucks County. They are one of the most effective and highly thought of Non Profit Agencies in Bucks County, and have a tremendous staff and a great group of volunteers.
BCOC is the ONLY organization out there that helps you better yourself. The BCOC provided guidance and assistance, so that I could work to improve my family's situation. I learned invaluable skills through their savings plans and budgeting/finance workshops. They also helped during slim times, like Christmas. My Coach, Carol, always treated me and my children with dignity and respect. Thank you BCOC!
Review from Guidestar
I was helped a few years ago and had an energy audit. After sealing the gaps in my old house and all the other work that was done, I noticed my house was warmer. I also qualified for a new fridge and chimney liner. In my experience they will do what they can to help any qualifying individual access the programs and services needed.
