In the TOWN OF ABINGTON, SHI provided services totaling $474,289329 (sic) to 611 households during program year 2005 Self Help's total funding of $19,296,397 does not tell the real value of services delivered to the area as a whole. This funding enabled us mobilize an additional $1,948.879 of other community resources such as, volunteers, donations of space, and private donations in the form of goods and services. Therefore, the total impact of Self Help, Inc., during the past program year was $21,245,276. In addition, Self Help currently employs 250 individuals. Many of these individuals are of limited income, and most reside in our service area. We feel that October 1, 2004 through September 30,2005 was a successful program year for us because we were able to assist as many individuals and/or families as we did, regardless of the challenges of being a human service provider. We thank the Board of Selectmen of Abington, and its representative, Ms. Lorraine Simon and all the volunteers for helping us to make fiscal year 2005 a successful one.
