First Federal of Bucks County delivered a generous gift of $12,000 to the Bucks County Opportunity Council which is dedicated to helping low-income people of Bucks County achieve and maintain economic self-sufficiency.
Bruce C. Iacobucci, First Federal’s President and CEO presented the check to Roger C. Collins, Executive Director of the Bucks County Opportunity Council, Inc. and Patti Moskauski, a recent graduate of the Self-Sufficiency Program at the banks recently opened Newtown Branch.
Since 1997 the total number of graduates from the Self-Sufficiency Program totals 182. The number of graduates that have purchased homes sine 1997 is 50. With every $1 invested in the Bucks County Opportunity Council there is a savings of $4 in government cash welfare subsidies.
Bruce Iacobucci stated: ”We’re pleased to be able to continue our support of the Bucks County Opportunity Council. In today’s economic environment the work that Roger and his agency are doing is more critical then ever. One needs to hear directly from individuals, like Patti Moskauski, who have participated in the Self-Sufficiency Program, to understand how significant and inspiring the impact is on their life and the lives of their families.“

First Federal of Bucks County closed 2008 with a generous gift of $7,000 to NOVA (Network of Victim Assistance) to be used to help fund the vital programs NOVA provides to victims of crimes, their families and other residents of Bucks County.
Bruce C. Iacobucci, First Federal’s President and CEO, and Mark Worthington, First Federal board member and NOVA supporter, presented the check to Barbara P. Clark, NOVA Executive Director at the recently opened Newtown Branch of the bank.
”We’re very pleased to be able to support NOVA and the significant good it does in the community,“ said Iacobucci.
This isn’t First Federal’s only effort on behalf of the advocacy and education organization. In November of 2008, they served as the Title Sponsor for the 15th Annual NOVA Galaxy Art Show and Sale at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, PA. In three days the event raised well over $35,000 to help provide critical services to victims of crime to educate our youth.
