Who We Are

Turning Crisis Into Stability

Outreach Care of Upper Bucks County was founded by volunteers at the Quakertown Food Pantry who recognized the need for emergency shelter in our community.

We are a faith-based, volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit operating under the umbrella of Advocates for the Homeless of Upper Bucks (AHUB). Our organization welcomes men, women, and families in need of safe shelter and linkage to basic living resources.

We primarily help with temporary emergency shelter for homeless individuals and families in Upper Bucks County, connecting them to resources required to achieve self-sufficiency.

Our Mission

Making a Difference in the Lives of People Who Are Homeless

The mission of Outreach Care is to partner with the local Upper Bucks County community to offer temporary emergency shelter and resources to meet the daily living needs of those who are homeless in our area.

Throughout any given year, approximately 100 individuals and families known to Outreach Care are homeless in Upper Bucks County. While attempts are made to piece together resources, there is an overwhelming need for collaborative and coordinated strategies to intervene in the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

Shelter First

Provide safe emergency housing immediately when crisis strikes, through local motels, rooming houses, and apartments.

Pathways Forward

Develop individualized plans for self-sufficiency including employment, housing solutions, and financial management.

Community Partnership

Collaborate with local partners, advocacy groups, churches, and county agencies to align broader housing equity goals.

What We Provide

Comprehensive Support Services

From emergency shelter to employment resources, we walk alongside individuals and families every step of the way toward stability and independence.

Emergency Shelter

Temporary housing in local motels, rooming houses, and apartments at our expense. Code Blue Shelter operates mid-November through early spring at 501 W. Broad St, Quakertown.

Financial Assistance

Help with rental payments, bill payments, car insurance, and other essential expenses to prevent homelessness and support stability.

Essential Supplies

Gift cards for food, gas, and groceries. Personal care items, phone minutes, clothing, and household items for those transitioning to stable housing.

Housing Solutions

Lists of available housing, temporary rent or mortgage assistance, and linkage to housing providers and supportive services for permanent placement.

Transportation
