BCAR members gathered on October 17 at the BC Housing Group Homeless Shelter in Doylestown to do fall clean up and mulch the gardens.

BCAR members also did fall clean up at the Bucks County Housing Group's Penndel Homeless Shelter & Food Bank on October 18. It was a small group but a lot was accomplished!
