About Serving Bucks Together-YWCA, BCOC, BCHG
Local non-profits come together and open "Serving Bucks Together". The SBT Center’s purpose is to bring these partner organizations together to provide much needed services to the Warminster area, which is home to many under-resourced residents. The center will offer a central location for people to access emergency assistance with various programs for clients whom are homeless, hungry and those who are hurting.
Bucks County Housing Group: Bucks County Housing Group (BCHG) is a private, non-profit social services organization that was founded in 1979 and which opened the first homeless shelter in Bucks County in 1980. BCHG works with an ever-widening client base that includes those who are homeless, those who are imminently homeless and families who are significantly impoverished and food insecure. Individuals and families whose behavioral health needs or issues present obstacles to financial and housing stability, young adults with behavioral health and or situational obstacles and struggling veterans are served by BCHG.
Bucks County Opportunity Council: As the lead anti-poverty, 501(c)3 non-profit agency in Bucks County, the mission of BCOC is to reduce poverty, and partner with our community to promote economic self-sufficiency. For over 55 years, the Opportunity Council has served low-income families in Bucks County by helping them to stabilize when in crisis, garner resources to achieve a livable wage, gain additional education and training, and work towards economic self-sufficiency.
YWCA: YWCA Bucks County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving women, girls and families since 1954. YWCA Bucks County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. We provide a wide array of educational enrichment and social services programs to vulnerable, diverse groups of children and families in their own neighborhoods and schools. Annually, the YWCA serves over 2,500 women, girls and families through Youth and Family Services, Housing and Social Services, and Racial and Social Justice programs.
