The BCA Hub

The BCA Hub (Babies, Children, Adults) was founded in 2018 by Tricia Ponicki with a mission to create a place where people give a hoot. We are a compassionate, action-driven nonprofit organization built on kindness, community, preparedness, and service. Our team of dedicated volunteers responds when families and communities need help the most — from disasters and emergencies to everyday hardships. We believe in leading with empathy, creating positive experiences for children and families, and building stronger communities through education, outreach, and unity. “A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GIVE A HOOT!” Support • Empower • Unite

The BCA Hub is a self-funded, 100% volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting babies, children, families, and communities during times of need. We provide emergency and disaster relief services, including diapers, formula, hygiene products, clothing, comfort kits, baby gear, emergency supplies, and community resources. In addition to relief efforts, we offer CPR, First Aid, babysitting, and emergency preparedness education for youth and adults. Through fun community events, outreach programs, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships, we work to support, empower, and unite the communities we serve throughout Illinois and beyond.
