BCS' cornerstone Sustainable Families Program serves financially struggling families with a two-pronged approach: First, by distributing food and other household goods that families choose weekly from our warehouse according to their specific needs. Second, it provides education and individual advising to bolster their financial literacy. Families can regain the freedom to pursue goals that move them away from the cycle of poverty to self-sufficiency, resulting in a positive legacy passed onto their children. We also partner with over 65 local agencies who serve the poor out of the unique expression of their own mission.
