Bridgeport Rescue Mission served as Coastal Connecticut's primary food distribution organization during the COVID pandemic. While we did not close our doors during COVID, we saw a complete transformation of our food distribution operation that more than doubled (to nearly 14,000) the number of struggling and food insecure families we supported. This level of food distribution and reach into the community held steady through the entire fiscal 2023 year. 1663767 8905 Men's and Women's Emergency Shelter, Addiction Recovery and Supportive Housing: Bridgeport Rescue Mission (BRM) demonstrates the love of God to the hungry, homeless, and addicted throughout Fairfield County, CT 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fiscal year ending 2023 BRM's shelter and recovery program offered 40,880 nights of shelter to homeless men and women, while offering hot meals, clean clothing and showers. BRM's faith-based New Life Program served over 60 men and women in fiscal year ending 2023 through a residential curriculum of counseling, case management, work therapy and 15 hours of classroom education weekly, focused on spiritual formation, addiction recovery and life-skills training. Men and women completing these programs may participate in BRM's Supportive Housing Program, which provided over 25 men and women in fiscal year ending 2023 with transitional housing, case management and educational and employment opportunities prior to their transition to independent living. The COVID pandemic forced the Mission to discontinue traditional emergency shelter services for the homeless, when we relaunched our traditional 25 bed emergency shelter into an 8 bed, COVID protocol, and socially distanced longer term program for chronically homeless men. This pilot program from 2020 has now become a permanent program of services provided to the homeless in coastal Connecticut. We continued our addiction recovery programs within very strict COVID quarantine protocols, throughout fiscal year 2023 and provided a safe space for nearly 45 men and women on the path to recovery amidst the pandemic crisis. We maintained a residential program curriculum of counseling, case management, work therapy and 15 hours of classroom education weekly, focused on spiritual formation, addiction recovery and life-skills training. Men and women completing these programs may participate in BRM's Supportive Housing Program, which provided over 15 men and women in fiscal year ending 2023 with transitional housing, case management and educational and employment opportunities prior to their transition to independent living. 356522 45370 Residential Program for Women and Children in Crisis: BRM's residential program for women and children in crisis provides the essentials of safe lodging, nourishing food, needed clothing, life and job skills and case management for displaced mothers with children, with special attention given to the needs of the participating children.

Form 990, Part I, Line 6 Bridgeport Rescue Mission is fortunate to have a large number of unpaid volunteers who perform many of the mission's key program services. The value of these services is not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles or in this Form 990. The use of volunteers for program services results is a significant cost savings for the Mission, but because that value is excluded, the Mission's program service expenses as reflected in the Form 990 are not a true measure or representation of the organization's operational efficiency. If the value of the volunteer services were recognized in the 990 and program expenses, the Mission's true operational efficiency would be much higher. Form 990, Part V, Line 2a Bridgeport Rescue Mission does not file any W-2s as all employees are outsourced from a professional employment organization. Bridgeport Rescue Mission reimburses the professional employment organization for the employees' compensation and the reimbursements are reported on 990 Part VII, Section A and 990 Part IX, Lines 5-10. Form 990, Part VI, Line 8b Documentation of meetings held by committees of governing body There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Therefore, this question was answered "no" in accordance with the instructions. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. It is reviewed in detail first by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. The Form 990 is then presented to the board of directors for final approval before filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy Board members and officers sign a conflict of interest statement annually. The signed statements are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and the board chair reviews the Chief Executive Officer's statement. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Chief Executive Officer's compensation is determined and reviewed by the board of directors using comparisons to third party market data. The review and approval is documented in the board minutes. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees The compensation for the Director of Operations, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer is determined by the Chief Executive Officer and is provided to the board of directors for review and approval as part of the percentage increases in the annual budget process. When a new person is hired for these positions, the Chief Executive Officer compares third party market data in determining the offered compensation. The board's approval is reflected in the board's approval of the annual budget. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Additionally, the organization's financial statements and public inspection copy of the Form 990 are available to view via the organization's website.
