LEADERSHIP CORNER

Have you heard? We are not your mama’s United Way anymore! We are more than fundraisers. We are game changers and

hand raisers. We step up to problems and fight for the education, financial stability and health of everyone in our community.

Since 1953, United Way of Henderson County has been helping vulnerable people in our county overcome obstacles and find a path to a better life. We are still the “one stop shop” for donors who want to give once and see their dollars spread into the community and impact over 30,000 people. But we also do much more. We focus resources, create opportunities and partnerships, and convene conversations that make an even bigger difference. Because of YOU, our partners, we were able to invest about $1.53 million dollars in our community last year.

Best of all, we change lives. For instance, Roger, an older man who had just been through six months of chemo, started coming to the PB&J Food Pantry during the summer of 2017. PB&J is one of several food pantries in Henderson County supported by MANNA Foodbank, a United Way funded partner. One autumn morning, Roger had left one of his bags of food on the table. One of the pantry volunteers ran out to try to catch him. She

found Roger sitting in his car, looking straight ahead with tears in his eyes. The volunteer gave him his bag and asked if everything was okay. “Yes, ma’am. Everything is great. I’m just sitting here amazed! I have had so many doctor bills and medicines to pay for that it left me scraping by for food. Then I found out about these pantries. It’s been one of the best things for me. So sometimes after I leave, I just sit here for a minute watching all the people getting helped. It reminds me to be thankful.”

Providing an elderly man with some groceries may seem like a small thing. But to Roger, it was a great gift. He may have fallen on hard times, but he was given what he needed in a time of crisis and treated with respect and compassion.

Vincent Van Gogh said, “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” Here at United Way, we believe in the power of bringing small things together. When we put our acts of kindness together, we make a big difference. THANK YOU for helping us do great things! We hope you will continue to fight with us as we make our community a better place for everyone.

UNITED WE FIGHT. UNITED WE WIN.

FIGHTING FOR OURCOMMUNITY

United Way of Henderson County fights for the health, education, financial stability, and basic needs of every person in Henderson County.

We surround our community’s most critical problems and find every dollar and volunteer we can to address them. United, we stand up to ensure kids aren’t left behind. United, we fight for hard-working families so they don’t have to choose between paying rent and buying groceries. United, we work to keep elderly citizens safe in their homes. United, we connect volunteers to their passions.

No matter the obstacles. No matter the odds. We surround our community’s most critical problems. And we fight. Because change doesn’t happen alone. Hope isn’t a one-man band. We have one life. To live better, we must Live United.

HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST

211 is United Way’s information and referral helpline and website to connect people with essential health and human services. The service is free, accessible 24/7, completely confidential,

and available in all languages.

In 2017 alone, 2-1-1’s call center professionals answered more than 3,000 calls from Henderson

County residents, connecting people to the help they need with food assistance, mental health services,

employment, child care, disaster services and much more. An additional 2,633 searches were made

through the nc211.org website to find critical information about Henderson County services.

Top requests from Henderson County callers last year were for housing, healthcare, and government

or legal resources.

If you need information, referrals, or help for a friend, neighbor, or loved one, simply dial 2-1-1 or

visit nc211.org.

DID YOU KNOW?

NC 2-1-1 is provided by United Way of North Carolina in all 100 NC counties with the support of 53 local United Ways throughout the State. The service operates out of two call centers located in Durham and Asheville, and it employs 25 call specialists, more than half of whom are certified information and referral specialists who receive more than 80 hours of training prior to handling calls.

FIGHTING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Helping Hand Developmental Center has been a long-time United Way partner agency

providing quality child development services to all children in Henderson County.

Along with serving typical preschool children, Helping Hand is also uniquely committed to serving those who are physically, emotionally, and educationally challenged. Out of the almost 90 preschoolers served, 50 percent have a special need that requires specialized instruction and therapies. The Center offers occupational, speech and physical therapy to children ages 3-5 who qualify.

The magic of Helping Hand lies in the interactions between highly trained, caring teachers and children with and

without special needs on a journey of learning together. Of the 30 children who graduated from Helping Hand in 2017, 86% reached the level of “ready for kindergarten” in the key areas of cognitive skills, motor skills, independent skills and social skills. United Way works with partners like Helping Hand to fight for a better future for all children in Henderson County.

E D U C A T I O N OUR TARGET ISSUES

KINDERGARTEN READINESSThrough investments in high

quality preschool, outreach to young children who are not in formal childcare settings, and

screening kids to catch developmental delays, we are

helping to prepare the youngest Henderson County residents to be

successful in Kindergarten and beyond.

SCHOOL SUCCESSBy supporting high quality afterschool and summer

programs, along with caring adult mentors, we are helping students

achieve their goals.

DID YOU KNOW?Nearly half of all Henderson County children are lacking critical pre-literacy skills when they enter kindergarten. Programs like Helping Hand make a huge difference in the lives of preschoolers so that they are ready to learn.

HEALTHSTORY

The Free Clinics works to ensure that the most vulnerable in our community have access to high quality and affordable healthcare. They provide clinical

and specialty care, mental health services, and pharmaceutical support to those in need.

Recently, The Free Clinics launched HealthWays, a healthy weight and diabetes prevention program that encourages family members, friends, work groups, and neighbors to participate in 16 week sessions that focus on Meals, Movement, Monitoring, and Medication.

The program recognizes that 80% of what determines a client’s health happens outside of the doctor’s office, and that clients are potentially far more influenced by peers than by health professionals. HealthWays builds on and leverages existing social relationships and positive peer pressure to promote healthy living and alleviate epidemics of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity in our community.

During weekly sessions clients spend time participating in a workout, discussing diets and meals, and monitoring body mass index (BMI), weight, blood pressure, and other factors. In the very first year of this new program, over 140 community members participated in HealthWays. All of these participants increased their level of physical activity and 80 lost weight during the program.

United Way teams up with partners like The Free Clinics to help residents of Henderson County build a healthier community.

“For several years I had experienced seasonal depression during the winter months, however, this year was the exception due to my participation in HealthWays,” said Ivett, a recent participant. “I have received great support from the group and the program has motivated me to make positive changes to my lifestyle. I have re-joined the gym, and I am now able to walk further distances without having to catch my breath.”

HEALTHY YOUTH BEHAVIORSOur middle and high schoolers face a complicated landscape today, but when we equip them with skills, knowledge, and confidence, they can and will make good choices. We are committed to reducing the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco among our youth and to preventing teen pregnancies. By focusing our efforts on this critical age group, we are improving the future for everyone in Henderson County.

OBESITYObesity increases the risk for

heart-disease, diabetes, and a reduced life-span. It affects adults, children,

and people from all economic groups -- almost 25% of

Henderson County residents. By educating and supporting our neighbors to make good

nutrition choices, get enough daily exercise, and find the

help they need to attain a healthy weight, United Way partnerships are building a

healthier community.

FINANCIAL STABILITYSTORY

Founded in 1983, Thrive works to help meet the needs of Henderson County residents who are experiencing mental health issues and housing

instability. Its goal is to move people from simply surviving mental illness or homelessness to thriving in the community.

Thrive’s Homeless Services Program recently began working with Dana and Marie (names have been changed) from Hendersonville. Both women began experiencing homelessness when they were teens, and for the next three years they slept in their vehicle or on the couches of generous friends and relatives. Throughout their period of homelessness, they both maintained full time employment, and Marie was even able to obtain her high school diploma.

The two were recently referred to Thrive by a primary care physician at Blue Ridge Health, and they were soon able to complete a housing assessment that led to assistance with housing costs. Thrive’s Housing Case Managers have been able to give them the support they needed to move into their very own home. Dana and Marie recently got engaged, and their landlord has described them as perfect tenants.

Programs like Thrive make a difference in the lives of individuals who may be unable to seek help on their own because of mental health issues. In the past six months alone, Thrive has been able to stabilize 11 households through a Rapid Re-Housing model. With partners like Thrive, United Way fights for those in our community facing homelessness and mental illness so that they too can see the promise of a better future.

AFFORDABLE HOUSINGWorking families in our community face a significant shortage of affordable, decent, safe housing - one of the key factors for a good quality of life. United Way is working with our partners to increase the availability of critical housing resources so that everyone in our community can have a great place to call home.

FINANCIAL STABILITYBy giving people the skills they need to

increase their incomes, pay down their debts, and manage their

money, we create a ripple effect that improves life for

everyone in Henderson County. United Way is

committed to helping the most vulnerable among

us to get on their feet and build a solid future.

The Council on Aging for Henderson County has provided and coordinated services to

keep older adults living independently since 1969. The Council’s Meals on Wheels program provides a hot meal every weekday for homebound older adults in Henderson County. In addition to receiving a nutritious meal, Meals on Wheels clients receive important social interaction with caring volunteers. These visits, which also serve as regular wellness checks, often turn into lasting friendships.

Clients must be at least 60 years of age or homebound, and unable to prepare a hot meal on a regular basis. Location is not a factor for delivery; volunteer drivers deliver meals each day in Hendersonville, Etowah, Mills River, Fletcher, Edneyville, and across Henderson County.

Volunteer Driver John Sherrill has been delivering meals and smiles to Council on Aging clients for many years. One of John’s daily routes includes a stop at Ms. Katherine King’s home in Dana. Each day around noon John drops off a hot, nutritious meal to Katherine, and the two enjoy having conversation before John’s next stop. Last year, John and close to two hundred other volunteers delivered more than 55,000 meals to over 500 clients in Henderson County.

United Way joins partners like the Council on Aging to meet the basic needs of seniors and other vulnerable people in our community.

OUR TARGET ISSUES

United Way knows that when people are living in crisis or their basic needs of food and shelter are not being met, it’s hard for

them to focus on building strong, sustainable lives. We believe that

by supporting basic needs and crisis services in Henderson

County, we are helping the most vulnerable among us take control of their lives and create a better

tomorrow for themselves and their families. And by reaching out a

hand to one, we can influence the condition of all.

DID YOU KNOW?Thirty-two percent of Henderson County’s population is made up of the over-60 community and is growing at a steady rate. In 2017, Meals on Wheels averaged about 220 meals delivered per day.

BORN LEARNING TRAILS

United Way of Henderson County has Born Learning Trails at Mills River Park and on the Oklawaha Greenway between Berkley and Patton Parks.

The Born Learning Trails are designed to help parents, caregivers and the entire community use everyday moments outdoors to boost school readiness of local children during their preschool years.

The trails features age-appropriate games on engaging signs placed throughout Mills River Park and the greenway with activities that are great learning opportunities for young children.

In July of 2017, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the official opening of the new trail on the Oklawaha Greenway.

RISING LEADERS: CULTIVATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOARD LEADERS

Now in its seventh year, this free program provides education and training to a cohort of prospective

Henderson County leaders who want to get involved and give back to their community.

Participants attend monthly information sessions and graduate prepared to serve as the next generation of nonprofit board members and key volunteers.

The 25 participants from the 2017-2018 class came from diverse professional and volunteer backgrounds. During these monthly sessions, participants learned from known experts about a variety of topics including nonprofit life cycles, fundraising, financial and legal responsibilities, and the power of passion.

Additionally, the participants organized and participated in service projects, logging over 300 volunteer hours within an 8-month period.

Gino Giovanni, a 2015 program graduate and Sales Executive with Morrow Insurance, recently shared, “Since graduating I have joined the board at Thrive, and my experience with that orga-nization has been a blessing. The prepa-ration that Rising Leaders gave me has helped me to get out there in the community to recruit new members and find various ways to increase Thrive’s funding base. One of the best takeaways I learned through the Rising Leaders Program is to be proactive and to make things happen! We live in a small community where our combined efforts and participation make a real difference to the folks who need it most.”

SPEEDDATING

A NIGHT OF

On March 8, 2018, the Rising Leaders class received program completion certificates and participated in a “Speed Dating” event with representatives from area agencies. Each participant got 3 minutes to share his or her skills and interests in hopes of “making a connection” with a local agency. The agencies in turn got an opportunity to meet 25 wonderful new leaders who share their passion for making an impact in our community.

The Rising Leaders Program is generously sponsored by Friday Staffing and Carolina Village.

VOLUNTEER HENDO

Volunteer Hendo was designed to strengthen United Way’s ability to engage volunteers to serve our entire community

through a centralized, online portal. The goal is to help local nonprofits find qualified volunteers to further their work and magnify their community impact. It is also a way to assist individuals, retirees, businesses, and their employees in finding rewarding volunteer opportunities that suit their interests and schedules.

“What a great service you are providing to the community,” said Tom Keating, who found information about Volunteer Hendo in our local paper. “I have lived here two years and was seeking an appropriate volunteer experience, but there

appeared to be no central coordinating point to match volunteers with various community

agencies. Your website brings it all together in an easy-to-use and concise manner using lots of graphics and information. Thanks for introducing

a great new tool to the community!”

Launched in 2016, the site currently lists over 100 volunteer opportunities

at 49 agencies in Henderson County. Since its launch, over 900

users have been linked with 876 volunteer opportunities throughout the county, including during United

Way’s annual community-wide volunteer events, Days of Caring and

Day of Action. The portal can be accessed by visiting www.volunteerhendo.org.

Volunteer Hendo utilizes Get Connected software from Galaxy Digital, a web-based

social solutions company, located in Asheville, NC. Get Connected is a

mobile-friendly volunteer management software designed to increase engagement

with non-profit agencies, corporate partners, volunteers, and other community groups.

The software provides the ability to promote volunteer opportunities, and track the numbers of volunteers, volunteer hours, agencies using the service, and other data to help monitor the

impact of volunteerism in the community.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

On Friday, May 12th and Saturday, May 13th more than 200 community volunteers came together to work on 40 service projects at

28 Henderson County nonprofit agencies as part of our annual Days of Caring. Projects included prepping materials for exhibits at Hands On!, outside cleanup at Only Hope WNC, painting at the Safelight Resale Store, landscaping at Pisgah Legal Services, gardening at the Veterans Healing Farm, picking up food from mailboxes for the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, and many more.

These two days of service would not have been possible without the help of 208 volunteers who

donated 624 hours to make our community a better place. Their time and effort equates to a contribution of $14,345 and makes a significant impact.

Leaders of local nonprofits praised the event as a time when they are able to stretch resources and benefit from the goodwill of generous volunteers. “We love the opportunity to host a group of volunteers – learning about them and their passions, and sharing about who we are and what we do. And our Four Seasons staff always enjoy giving back at a project in the community that gives so generously to us,” said Lauren Purdy, Director of Employee and Volunteer Solutions at Four Seasons Compassion for Life.

Our second annual Day of Action took place on Friday, August 18, 2017 at 23 schools across Henderson County.

Nearly 450 volunteers worked on 37 service projects at schools and learning centers to help them get ready for the 2018-19 school year. Projects included painting walls, cleaning playgrounds, mulching, and much more.

“It’s needed work that otherwise wouldn’t be done, said Atkinson Principal Mark Page. “There’s just no other time left in the day and manpower in the school to get a lot of this done.”

In addition to serving at local schools, volunteers were asked to help stuff a school bus with food donations for MANNA Food Bank’s Packs for Kids Program and school supply items for Henderson County Public Schools. Over 1,000 pounds of food and school supplies totaling $8,507 were donated for HCPS students.

“This is the Henderson County way,” Superintendent Bo Caldwell said. “We come out, we volunteer, we give, we donate, we step up in times of need. Most importantly, we truly, truly give to service the children of Henderson County Public Schools.”

2017 SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN SPONSOR

After losing everything in an apartment fire several years ago, Continental Employee Jason Hodges was able to get back on his feet through help from United Way funded services. Jason gives back to United Way through an Employee Giving Campaign to show his gratitude and because he knows that every dollar makes a difference in the lives of people just like him.

United Way of Henderson County is fueled by generous companies and their employees every year. As a 2017 Signature Campaign Sponsor, Continental helped make a difference in the lives of over 30,000 people in our community last year.

2017 SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN SPONSOR

2017 Signature Campaign Sponsor Park Ridge Health has long valued employee volunteerism. Park Ridge Health’s network of employees gives back to the community and helps fulfill volunteer needs across Henderson County.

Director of Organizational Development Todd Gothberg and Volunteer Coordinator Shelby Lands both believe in the power of volunteerism. Gothberg and Lands give back to Henderson County through volunteering with United Way in many ways, including as Loaned Executives.

Loaned Executives are volunteers who speak on behalf of United Way at employee giving rallies during the annual campaign. They share and explain to audiences about how gifts given through the workplace can help fund programs at over 20 nonprofit agencies in Henderson County. It’s through the help of volunteers like Todd and Shelby, and generosity from Park Ridge Health, that United Way can help improve the education, health and financial stability of everyone in the community.

General Frank E. Blazey, Jr. was a beloved member of the community who contributed to many charitable causes and believed in United Way’s mission and impact. He served on the United Way Board from 1991-1993 and was a loyal member of our Ochlawaha Leadership Giving Society for many years. General Blazey wanted to ensure that United Way would receive ongoing support after his death and created a fund that continues to provide yearly contributions to our work here in Henderson County. We are very grateful for General Blazey’s charitable vision that will extend United Way’s community impact well into the future.

LOYAL DONORS

Donald and Carol LovettLoyal Donors

“We believe in United Way because it is the best way to raise funds for many local nonprofits that would find it challenging to seek this support on their own. We love the way it allows donors the opportunity to give to a wide variety of causes, and we trust United Way to ensure our gifts go to programs where it will be used responsibly and well.”

Donald and Carol Lovett have been loyal United Way donors for over 48 years. Donald is the former CEO of Dixon National Bank in Illinois. He served as President of the Dixon United Way for several years, and after moving to Hendersonville, volunteered with one of United Way of Henderson County’s funding panels.
