Bucks County Housing Group Needs Bensalem Volunteers/Donations
The Bucks County Housing Group needs Apartment Partners for 19 of it’s 20 transitional homeless shelter apartments in Bensalem. Apartment partners “adopt” a shelter apartment and provide that extra “TLC” the apartment AND the family needs. AP’s provide necessary items for the apartment (bedding, dishes, etc) as well as support for the family (clothing, holiday help).
A typical AP group will assist two families a year. The Apartment Partner program is ideal for groups who want to participate on a regular basis, but face time constraints. Apartment Partners include service organizations, business groups, church groups and individuals. Please contact Karen at kmanzo@bchg.org or John at jkunes@bchg.org if you are interested in becoming an Apartment Partner.

Living Philanthropic – A Year of Giving
What would you attempt if you could attempt anything? No fears!
What would you change if you could change anything? No repercussions!
What would you give if you could give anything? No limits!
Think about it for a second…
I recently came upon an interesting article about a guy from Chicago attempting change through giving! I’d like to introduce to you a new concept in philanthropy. Living Philanthropic proves it doesn’t have to thousands. I’d take it one step further to say, it doesn’t even have to be money. Say you don’t have thousands or even hundreds to give, who does? Say you don’t have any money? You can effectuate change by giving of your time and your talents by volunteering. Be creative!
Read the article below and be inspired to answer one or all three of the questions asked above.
