Support takes many forms—and however you showed up for Beverly Bootstraps, your generosity made a real difference for neighbors in need. Because of you, in 2025:
- Neighbors turned to our Food Assistance programs 30,812 times for help.
- Those visits supported nearly 5,000 individuals from over 2,000 households who relied on you to keep food on the table.
- With the dedication of tutors and staff, 75% of High School Equivalency (HSE) students passed their exams, moving closer to earning diplomas and increasing their employment opportunities.
- Children were supported year-round with 945 backpacks of school supplies and holiday gifts for 839 children from 379 families through Winter Wishes Holiday Gifts.
Behind every number is a story like Gianna’s.*
While moving between shelters, Gianna connected with our Adult Education program. Paired with a volunteer tutor through our HSE program, and, with the support of a volunteer tutor, earned her high school equivalency diploma. Today, she and her daughter live in their own apartment, and Gianna continues her journey through our College and Career Readiness program.
“Because of my tutor and Beverly Bootstraps, I’m working toward a college degree and supporting my daughter on my own. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible.”
Your commitment made Gianna’s success—and so many others—possible. As we begin 2026, we hope you’ll continue to stand with us as neighbors work toward stability and self-sufficiency.
