BLBB Charitable, Bucks County Foundation (BCF), and Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) recently announced the award of a $75,000 grant to Souderton-based organization Along the Way.
The fourth round of grants totaling $360,000 awarded to 36 grassroots, community-based organizations working to address the effects of the opioid and overdose crises in Kensington, Harrowgate, and Fairhill.
"All you can do is continue to have conversations and be encouraging. Have open dialogue with them, share as much information as you have, try to break up myths."
"It is our obligation to lift as we climb. To try to move things in a positive direction in which everyone is encompassed in the American dream."
"We hold the key... And we, as the folks who are in charge at this point, have the ability to say, “This hasn’t been working, let’s try something new." "
"Our communities aren’t separate from us; they’re our families, the young people we work with in school every day. If it’s your community, you can’t step away from what’s impacting it."
"We don’t see ourselves as any kind of public health organization; we’re just doing what needs to get done to serve our communities the most."
In its second round of grants, the COVID-19 Prevention & Response Fund made grants totaling $668,885 to 84 individuals and nonprofit organizations working to increase COVID-19 education, vaccine access, health resources, and outreach activities in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties.
