Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
EACH YEAR OUR GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A CARING COMMUNITY FOR GREATER BRUNSWICK BY COLLABORATING WITH OUR GUESTS, VOLUNTEERS, STAFF, AND NEIGHBORING ORGANIZATIONS; TO PROVIDE THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US WITH DAYTIME SHELTER, SUSTENANCE, ACCESS TO RESOURCES, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. IN 2021 AS TGP EMERGED FROM THE PANDEMIC'S ISOLATION, OUR GUESTS' NEEDS WERE FAR MORE ACUTE THAN INITIALLY ANTICIPATED. WE NOTICED THAT MANY OF OUR GUESTS WERE JOINING US WITH NEEDS BEYOND WHAT WE COULD MEET THROUGH SAFE SPACE, COMPANIONSHIP, AND GENERAL NECESSITIES. AS A RESULT, WE LAUNCHED OUR SERVICE DELIVERY PROGRAM, A "LOW BARRIER, NO BARRIER" EFFORT WITH NO QUALIFYING FACTOR(S) TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. OUR PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM GOING UNSERVED. TGP WAS SUCCESSFUL IN MEETING ITS OPERATIONAL GOALS. 80% OF OUR VOLUNTEERS RETURNED. WE HAVE A DAILY AVERAGE OF 60 GUESTS, AND TGP OFFERS DIRECT SERVICE TO APPROXIMATELY 446 INDIVIDUALS.
