About JUMP's Work in Vermont:
Celebrating a 30-year milestone in 2018, JUMP, the Joint Urban Ministry Project, has a dedicated history of helping to meet critical needs for families and individuals living in poverty throughout Chittenden County and Vermont. JUMP operates an emergency Drop-in Center in donated space at First Congregational Church of Burlington providing compassionate care, practical assistance and informed referrals to thousands of Vermont adults and children annually. Thanks to the generosity of more than 28 area faith communities, many individuals, businesses and foundations, JUMP is a reliable source of assistance year-round.
In 2017, JUMP assisted more than 2,100 adults and children as volunteers and staff distributed 5650 vouchers valued at $97,634. JUMP provided vouchers for much needed assistance with transportation, utility bills, groceries (including perishables not often available from food pantries), laundromat usage, prescription co-pays and helping those who need updated ID's acquire them. At $30,000, the most requested voucher was for transportation gas assistance; plus $5,000 in voucher assistance for bus passes and bikes. Combined JUMP provided more than $35,000 for transportation assistance to help Vermonters impacted by poverty.
