To Our Friends and Supporters:

This year we marked an important milestone in our history - our 25^th anniversary! Since 1985 Court Community Service (CCS) has grown from a small pilot program to an established organization making a positive impact on the quality of life in Greater Cleveland. One thing has not changed over the past twenty-five years: our commitment to providing efficient, well-managed alternative sentencing programs that are responsive to the needs of the courts and the community at large.

A look at the numbers clearly demonstrates the impact CCS has had on our community over the past twenty-five years:

·        More than 200,000 individuals have been referred by area courts to perform community service work.

·        CCS referrals have completed more than 6 million hours of community service at hundreds of charitable and governmental agencies throughout Greater Cleveland valued at over $42 million.

Since 1985 CCS work crews have…

·        Removed more than 600,000 bags of litter from public roads and properties throughout Cuyahoga County. 

·        Collected more than 325,000 scrap tires and more than 15,000 cubic yards of debris in Cuyahoga County.

·        Served thousands of Cleveland seniors with lawn mowing, leaf raking, and snow shoveling.

In closing, I would like to recognize the work of our dedicated team of volunteer staff who contributed 10,098 hours of their time and talent to Court Community Service in 2010. Thanks to their efforts and the support of our partnering courts and agency work sites, we had much to celebrate on our 25^th anniversary and even more to look forward to in the coming years.
