Know exactly where your donation is going

At Beaver County Orthodox Christian Ministry (BCOCM), we know far too many people in our community lack access to food, clothing, and other basic necessities. And we know how terrifying it feels to not know where your next meal might come from.

We believe everyone in need should receive help, free of judgment and anxiety. So we came together as a local movement of Orthodox Christians, to help the homeless and working poor right here in our own neighborhoods, in the name of Christ’s love.

At BCOCM, we treat all who come to us like family, with love, respect, and compassion. BCOCM does not require anyone who helps us, or anyone who reaches out to us for help, to be an Orthodox Christian. We do our best to help all who come to us in need, regardless of their sex, race, or religion.
