about us

The Freedom Neighborhood One Community Center is a nonprofit organization that serves individuals and families in the Lower Bucks area. The Freedom Neighborhood One Community Center provides a variety of fun and exciting programs. This includes programs for children, activities for seniors, family events and empowerment programs for adults. As a non-profit organization, the Center’s success is truly a community effort. Volunteers, donors, and caring individuals are at the heart of the FNO Community Center.

The Center believes in the power each individual has to stretch beyond his or her own expectations. We strive to provide information to individuals and families that can help them make strong and informed decisions.

Strong decisions lead to greater change, and that’s what makes the FNO Community Center thrive. By strengthening our community’s greatest resource—its people—we help make the community a better place to live. We provide a place for individuals, families, and groups to gather and belong. In turn, they strengthen the community with a greater sense of pride and their support.
