Project Description
Beverly Bootstraps Mission: “Beverly Bootstraps was first established in 1992 as a food pantry in the basement of the First Baptist Church. With the generous support of our donors, volunteers and the community at large, we have grown to be a leading social service agency on the North Shore. We are unique in our approach to the issues of hunger. While recognizing that people need food in hand to stem immediate hunger, our clients also need the opportunity to be embraced by the community, educated about the resources available and empowered to improve their own lives. As we continue to grow, our commitment to the community remains the same: to provide critical resources to families and individuals so that they may achieve selfsufficiency. We accomplish this while maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility and serving as trusted stewards of the organization.� (http://www.beverlybootstraps.org/AboutUs/History.php)

Design Concept
Beverly Bootstraps is a non-profit organization that helps to aid and help those in the North Shore community during times that one may not be able to support themselves or their family. My concept for the reception design of the 131 Rantoul Street site is a knot. A knot symbolizes strength and a tight bond. A knot is one unit and so is Beverly Bootstraps. A knot is also adjustable, flexible, and secure. The message and services that Beverly Bootstraps provides show how they care about their clients and help to the best of their ability by being flexible to individual situations.
