        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the statements of activities. As of May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Mission had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Mission files information tax returns in the U.S. and certain states. The Mission is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal or state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Number of Volunteers</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Form 990, Part I, Line 6</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Bridgeport Rescue Mission is fortunate to have a large number of unpaid volunteers who perform many of the mission's key program services. The value of these services is not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles or in this Form 990. The use of volunteers for program services results in a significant cost savings for the Mission, but because that value is excluded, the Mission's program service expenses as reflected in the Form 990 are not a true measure or representation of the organization's operational efficiency. If the value of the volunteer services were recognized in the 990 and program expenses, the Mission's true operational efficiency would be much higher.</Explanation>
