Advocates for Homeless & Those in Need
serves the homeless and those in need by providing year-long access to emergency shelter, food and other life-sustaining services with dignity and compassion. We recently funded the group's drug court transportation program for a year, which is critical in helping people participating in Bucks County's Drug Court break the cycle of addiction in their lives.
The
Women’s Recovery Community Center, a residential environment for twelve women in New Britain, PA, supports each resident by teaching tools and coping skills to help them achieve and sustain long-term recovery from substance use disorder.
The
Student Design Lab at William Tennent High School
challenges students to develop solutions to real-life problems, and we were invited into the classroom to speak to the students and hold focus groups on various topics related to the opioid epidemic.
KMF provided an ongoing grant to
SOAR Corp, Inc.
for a storage unit to house children's items for mothers in recovery in need across Bucks County. In conjunction with Bucks County Children & Youth Services, mothers' needs are identified, and through community donations and in partnership with RePlay Toys!, a children's consignment shop in Warminster, we are able to provide items to help mothers in recovery take care of their children.
KMF held a community outreach collecting children's gear, clothing and toys for the families served at
SOAR CORP, an outpatient substance abuse treatment program in Levittown, PA. KMF donated cases of diapers and wipes, and our Community of Fighters rallied around the cause filling an entire truck!

a women's recovery facility in Bensalem, PA, uses evidence-based Art and Music Therapy to promote healing from the effects of addiction and trauma.
BPAIR (Bucks County Police Assisting in Recovery)

They advocate to meet their basic needs by spending time with the homeless and giving them a Hope Bag filled with snacks and toiletries, while empowering them to seek treatment.
Bucks Country Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc. | HEART Program

KMF presented
Voice and Vision, Inc.
with a $2,500 grant for the publishing of Help & Hope - Substance Use: The Growing Need to Know! The resource guide, which will be available in early 2020, features information about prevention, treatment, and recovery supports, along with compelling first-hand accounts from families who have “walked the walk”, including a piece written by The Kaitlin Murphy Foundation.
KMF donated $5,000 to
The Council of Southeast PA, Inc.
for the Adolescent Alcohol & Drug Education & Intervention Groups at the Bucks County Youth Center. The program provides substance use education for adolescents alleged to have committed a crime, and under the authority of the Bucks County Juvenile Court, remanded to the secure care of the center.
KMF provided a $1,000 for the
Rides for Recovery Program, a Bucks County initiative started by Deputy Sheriff and part-time Uber driver Gary Bruno, which provides $10 Uber gift cards to local rehab centers to be distributed to those who cannot get a ride to treatment. The cards are also given to Bucks County's Drug Court to be distributed to reward members of Drug Court for time clean for transportation to meetings, appointments, and treatments.
We are grateful to our "Super Supporters" for their help and support of The Kaitlin Murphy Foundation and our mission to FIGHT BACK against addiction!
