UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MARYLAND

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

U N I T E D W A Y O F C E N T R A L M A R Y L A N D 2 0 1 7 A N N U A L R E P O R T

DEAR FRIENDS,Every day, United Way of Central Maryland works to ensure that every person in every community has access to the basic necessities of life. But more and more of our residents are struggling to make ends meet, even while working two or more jobs.

In 2017, we took an in-depth look at the costs of a basic household budget that were creating the conditions area families were facing. We released the Maryland ALICE® Report (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) which showed that a staggering 36 percent of working central Marylanders struggle to make ends meet. For those who are ALICE, a single unexpected event such as an illness, car repair or job loss can destabilize their lives—often with dire results.

The ALICE report corroborated what we knew from years of daily experiences with those we serve, like the families displaced by the Ellicott City flood who needed a place to stay…the single mom who stood in line for hours to get free dental care at Project Homeless Connect…the dad whose minimum wage pay wouldn’t cover the cost of the Thanksgiving meal he received through our Harvest of Plenty program.

United Way fights for the education, financial stability and health of every person in every community across central Maryland. We are grateful to have individuals like you in this fight with us.

This annual report outlines how you have helped us expand our impact work to lower the barriers and improve the outlook for ALICE families as well as others who face formidable challenges. Thank you for your commitment to our work—and to our region. We are so grateful for your continued support and generosity.

United we fight. United we win.

UNITED WE FIGHT.UNITED WE WIN.

This report covers United Way of Central Maryland activities throughout fiscal year 2017: July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017.

Owen, a fourth-grader, was a chronic troublemaker at school. His loud and boisterous behavior distracted his classmates and frustrated his teachers. One veteran teacher described him as “one of the toughest students I’ve ever had.”

But that’s changing, thanks to our On Track 4 Success program, which helps struggling young students in challenged neighborhoods succeed and stay in school with the goal of graduating.

Working one-on-one with a United Way social worker, Owen’s learning to manage his feelings, and his grades have improved from failing levels to C’s and even A’s. And almost half of the students in the program who were off track to stay in school were back on track by the end of the 2016-17 school year.

“Owen’s grades have really improved. He’s back

on track to do well in school.”

AND KIDS LIKE OWEN WIN.

Victor, a single dad, had been taking time off of work to manage child custody issues—and it showed in his paycheck. Unable to keep up with the rent, he and his girls were being forced out of their Howard County apartment. Victor reached out for help, and was referred to United Way, which provided temporary financial assistance and guidance on managing the family’s budget. By keeping his apartment, his daughters were able to stay in their home school, avoiding a disruptive school transfer that often has ill effects on academic performance.

“We’re together in our home, not in a shelter, thanks to

United Way.”

AND WORKING PARENTS LIKE VICTOR WIN.

At $21 an hour, Bonnie was making enough to support herself and her family. But when the company she worked for cut back on her hours, the single mother of three had to rely on food stamps to feed her family. And while the program allowed her to put food on the table, Bonnie found that she now couldn’t afford the healthier options her previous wages allowed her to buy.

Bonnie turned to United Way for help with her bills and budgeting, and soon she had the money she needed to prepare regular, nutritious meals for her family.

AND FAMILIES LIKE BONNIE’S WIN.

“It feels good to be able to feed my kids healthy

meals now.”
