of Central Bucks County and Surrounding Communities
The Community Outreach Committee, originally named the Organized Charity Committee, was established in 1897 to serve those in need in the community.
The committee receives referrals from area social service agencies and provides financial assistance for food, clothing, baby supplies, prescription medicines, car repairs, rent, and utilities.
Annual winter gift-card giving assists financially challenged families of students enrolled in the Central Bucks School District.
Members of the committee are available seven days a week to receive referrals.
The committee is funded by earnings from trusts, donations from VIA members and the community at large, and proceeds from VIA’s fundraisers such as the Bucks County Designer House & Gardens and other annual events.
