We are pleased to report this has been a good year for JUMP. We've done what we set out to do -- to do more for more people.
Our two staff members, Shannon and Matt and volunteers have truly devoted themselves to creating a positive and warm atmosphere for our guests.
This year, over 3000 men, women and children from 29 Vermont cities and towns, across 9 counties came to JUMP for assistance. JUMP guests include young and old, housed and unhoused, employed and unemployed, long-time Vermonters an newly arrived refugees, all of whom needed help to get housed, stay housed and meet basic needs.
The financial support of our generous sponsors and donors has enabled JUMP to assist more Vermonters, add new services, and increase our direct services budget. The result:
- Larger utility grants are helping folks keep the lights on and stay warm.
- Increased food assistance supports families facing inflation at the grocery store.
- Added transportation assistance providing both bus passes and gas vouchers.
- Increased access to personal care supplies, laundromat and thrift store vouchers.
Yet, our work is far from done.
The number of people without housing in Vermont is at a record level. The number of households struggling to meet basic expenses including rent, has also soared. We helped thousands of people this year, but also turned away hundreds more.
That is why we are asking for your support now to fund the much needed assistance that JUMP hopes to provide during the winter months ahead.
With gratitude,
Anne Tewksbury-Frye

Dear Friends,
At JUMP we are standing up, not standing by.
In 2025 we took a leap of faith and increased the number of households assisted financially through the Outreach Center by 20%. JUMP is having a positive impact!
While providing sixty households a week with much needed financial assistance, we write to share both the urgent needs in our community and the profound impact your support of JUMP can make in the lives of our neighbors. JUMP relies on the support of hundreds of individual donors, foundation grants, fund raising events and the support of many area faith communities to piece together our annual budget. We need your help. CLICK HERE to continue reading...
