Excerpt from previous Annual Report
Nearly 100% of HomeShare Vermont's customers reported
an overall high level of satisfaction with our services and would recommend our program to
a friend or neighbor. These were just some of the results of our year-long
Outcomes Survey Project. Customers of HomeShare Vermont also told us of specific
areas where we needed to improve our services. Current program and staffing changes
are already under way based upon these survey results. HomeShare Vermont is also
now modifying its Strategic Plan to take those and other comments into consideration for
our long-term planning process.
| Announcement from April 2002 Dear
Friends,
Happy Anniversary, HomeShare Vermont! Celebrating 20
momentous years! Once again, thank you for the terrific support you
have provided! We’ve come a long way in twenty years, and many good changes are in
the offing -
- We changed our name to provide a clearer vision of who we are!
- We expanded staff to assist more people!
- We have added new services like training and support groups for our caregivers!
- And, in 2001, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation, interviewing and surveying
those we serve and found:
77% feel safer in their homes
73% reported household chores get done more easily
68% feel less lonely
68% feel happier
Please help us continue to offer our unique and comprehensive
services while meeting the challenges that lie ahead.
The United Way Allocations Team said in their March 2002 report:
"HomeShare Vermont’s programs are extremely effective and
efficient in meeting the key provisions of their mission. Despite its very small staff, it
manages to effectively reach an extremely vulnerable segment of the community with
sensible and effective programs. It will continue to be a challenge for HomeShare Vermont
to meet the needs of the community with its modest budget, heavy dependence on
volunteerism and minimal government support".
Your donation makes all this possible. Thank you one and all!
Sincerely,
William J. Young
Advisory Board Chairman
P.S. – Over 55% of our budget comes from private
donations. Your contribution is essential. Our fiscal year ends June 30th. |
