United Way of Bucks County
The United Way of Bucks County’s HELP Center has been providing assistance to Bucks County residents affected by the recent storms and flooding by distributing donations of new home goods and living essentials to those in need. But those resources are running low.
If you would like to support their efforts, they are currently accepting donations of the following items: complete towel sets, complete sheet sets (twin, full and queen), undergarments (socks, undershirts and underpants), personal care products, shampoo, soap, deodorant and laundry detergent. All items must be new and in their original packaging. No gently used items can be accepted.
The HELP Center, 194 Commerce Circle in Bristol, takes donations on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The HELP Center – a Healthy Eating and Living Partnership – is a collaboration of three nonprofit agencies: Bucks County Opportunity Council, St. Mary Medical Center and United Way of Bucks County.

PennDOT Announces Annual Highway Safety Survey
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking motorists’ input on traffic safety and driving behaviors through its annual online Highway Safety Survey found at www.PennDOT.gov/Safety.
“Safety is our top priority and we value continued public engagement in making our roadways safer,” said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “The results from this annual survey help us gauge participants’ attitudes on highway safety, and potentially allow us to adjust our safety activities so we can further reduce crashes and fatalities.”
The survey is available on PennDOT’s website through August 23 and should take about five minutes to complete. All responses, including the “comments” fields, are anonymous.
Nearly 8,000 people responded to last year’s survey, answering questions about safety habits such as seat belt use, impaired driving, speeding, and distracted driving. Notably, nearly 91 percent of respondents said they always wear a seat belt and approximately 88 percent said they never drive while impaired. When asked how often they choose to exceed the posted speed limit, nearly 84 percent of respondents said they speed at least some of the time.
“Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react to changing traffic or road conditions,” said Gramian. “It puts you, your passengers, and others on the road at risk. Slow down, be safe.”
