Program areas at BCS

Birch Community Services serves approximately 900 families and 70 other not-for-profit agencies. The organization's programs strengthen the financial security of lower-income families through our four pillars of "food, education, freedom, legacy." Food provides immediate financial relief and creates margin in budget to pay down debt. Education is provided by our financial literacy manager through one-on-one meetings and financial courses. Freedom is experienced as goals are accomplished and families become debt-free. Legacy results as families are able to demonstrate financial stability, influencing their Community and children's futures.
