To Our Friends and Supporters:

 

On behalf of the staff and the Board of Trustees of Court Community Service (CCS), I am pleased to offer our twenty-fourth Annual Report.  We can all agree that 2009 was one of the most challenging economic periods in a long time. The fiscal crisis that has resulted in deep budget cuts at the local, county, and state levels has impacted everyone. Now more than ever, CCS programs are needed as local governments and charitable agencies look for ways to provide more service with tighter budgets. 

 

As the facts and figures below indicate, we received a record number of community service referrals in 2009 and produced a record benefit to our community valued at more than $3.2 million. Here’s a look at the past twenty-four years and highlights from 2009.

 

Since 1985, Court Community Service…

 

      has received 184,760 community service referrals.

      has benefited area agencies with 5,628,585 hours of community service, valued at more than $39 million.

      has collected 562,089 bags of litter, 307,748 tires, and 11,324 cubic yards of debris from roadways and properties in Cuyahoga County through our work crew programs.

 

During 2009 alone, Court Community Service…

 

      received 19,734 community service referrals and 322 Carrying Concealed Weapon Program referrals.

      referrals completed 470,650 hours of community service work at more than 250 area agencies, valued at more than $3.2 million.

      work crews collected 56,809 bags of litter, 17,598 tires, and 2,055 cubic yards of debris throughout Cuyahoga County.

      assisted 765 Cleveland low-income senior citizens with lawn mowing, leaf raking, and snow shoveling.

 

In closing, I would like to thank our dedicated team of 48 volunteers who contributed 9,874 hours of their time and talent to Court Community Service in 2009. More than ever, with an increasing caseload and a challenging fiscal environment, their contribution is vital to our continued success. Thanks to their efforts, and the support of our partnering courts and agency work sites, we can look forward to celebrating our 25th year of service to the community in 2010.
