Our Results

CommunityTable

With the support of thousands of donors and volunteers, we have been able to expand our services to meet a growing need. However, we don’t measure our success by the number of people served. We measure our success on the progress our clients make towards self-sustainability.

The number of people we serve has grown dramatically over the last few years as the economic situation worsens. We have seen a 40% increase from 2,500 people served to 3,600 people since the beginning of the recession in 2008.

In 2010, we provided the following services to our clients:

  • We served over 54,600 meals throughout the year
  • We were able to connect 113 people with medical, legal, and financial benefits that they did not have previously
  • We provided over 700 people with the medical and mental health services they needed

But we don’t just measure our progress by our capacity to meet the growing need. We measure ourselves by the progress our clients make. In 2010:

  • We connected 49 people with housing either through transitional programs or through rent assistance
  • We helped 117 of our clients get jobs; more than double the year before
  • Our clients rate our services very highly, and that is very important to us.

Every quarter, we ask out clients to tell us how satisfied they are with our work.

  • For the last two years, 90% of our clients have been satisfied or very satisfied with the service they got at Bridge House
