In 1977, the United Way of Bucks County accepted the council as a member participating agency. 1
The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania operates four recovery community centers: the Montgomery County Recovery Community Center (MCRCC), the Philadelphia Recovery Community Center (PRCC), the Southern Bucks Recovery Community Center (SBRCC), and the Women’s Recovery Community Center (WRCC). The council maintains a staff of approximately 100 employees. 1
