Since 2013, Bentley Community Services (BCS), a designated 501 (c) 3 charitable organization, has been helping families in financial crisis regain self-sufficiency by providing a full range of high quality grocery provisions and more each week, supplementing income and offsetting grocery bills.

Bentley has distributed more than 1.35 million pounds of groceries to date. As their main grocer, Bentley creates access to healthy foods, facilitating healthy diets and nutrition so families benefit weekly from full shopping carts, feeding their families healthy and nutritious foods from the major food groups and more. The crucial monies that families save are applied toward paying their monthly bills and expenses, reducing debt, medical bills or making needed repairs as these families work toward financial stability and security. Bentley also offers educational and informational workshops throughout the year facilitated by professionals.
