Dear United Way of Broward County Supporters,

Over the past 75 years, Broward County has grown in numerous ways. In 1938, the county had seven cities and the population was just over 39,000 people. Today there are 31 cities and more than 1.8 million people calling Broward home. During this time, United Way of Broward County has been an essential part of this community.

Many organizations focus on one cause, but United Way of Broward County really looks at the community as a whole. Our mission is to find solutions to the challenges faced by many people in Broward County. United Way’s strength is convening partners and experts to encourage a unified approach to complex community issues and then creating solutions for the gaps in service.

During the 2013-14 fiscal year, United Way expanded several of its initiatives to continue tackling many of Broward County’s difficult issues. In 2012, ReadingPals was launched in three schools and one childcare center to help children read at grade level by the end of third grade. In 2013-2014, ReadingPals was offered in 14 schools and impacted the lives of more than 200 students.

MISSION UNITED, a critical program supporting US military veterans by helping them re-acclimate to civilian life, has provided more than 1,500 veterans and their families with services. In addition, United Way of Broward County was the recipient of the 2014 United Way Worldwide Common Good Award for its work with veterans through MISSION UNITED.

In the following pages you will read about the direct impact these initiatives and countless others have had in our community. We have also included an overview of the significant work accomplished in our Community Impact focus areas: Youth Success, Financial Stability, Improving People’s Health, Substance Abuse Prevention, Emergency Needs and the above mentioned MISSION UNITED. Please take the time to read the personal stories about the lives that have been positively impacted thanks to your generosity.

As we look toward the next 75 years, United Way will continue to hold community conversations and anticipate the ever-changing needs of our neighbors in Broward County. It is our role to convene the partners necessary to improve our community and ensure everyone has access to the support they deserve.

On behalf of United Way of Broward County, we would like to thank our volunteers, donors and advocates for investing their passion, expertise and resources to create opportunities for a better life for all.

EXECUTIVE LETTER

YOUTH SUCCESS

JERRY AND JUDY

For Jerry and Judy Eppy, giving back has always been a priority. The married couple of 56 years have always been philanthropic, and they are making their presence felt locally as a part of United Way of Broward County’s ReadingPals initiative.

The Eppys are two of the more than 200 volunteers who have dedicated one hour each week to one-on-one mentoring with local children. The goal is simple, to ensure more children are reading at grade level by the end of third grade.

The couple began the 2013-14 school year each mentoring one student at Endeavor Primary Learning Center. Throughout the course of the year, they both added an additional student. Between the two, the Eppys logged more than 72 hours illustrating their dedication to improving literacy skills and reading comprehension.

“People need to contribute to the community that has given to them,” said Jerry. “We have led a charmed life, and now is our time to give back.”

Thanks to volunteers like Jerry and Judy Eppy, hundreds of children across Broward County will learn to read each year.

PROJECT LIFELINE

Project Lifeline is United Way of Broward County’s response to the increased demands placed upon agencies and organizations throughout the community due to the economic hardships now facing so many of Broward County’s families. Commencing in May 2009, this initiative coordinates the bulk purchase and delivery of nutritious food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, rice, beans, and grains to a network of approximately 25 food banks and feeding programs in Broward County.

Partners: The Jim Moran Foundation and the Watts Foundation

ALLISON AND DANAE

Many people talk about hitting rock bottom and for Allison Campbell, that moment occurred as her two-year-old daughter, Danae, wiped the tears from her eyes as she finally hit her breaking point. A couple months prior, Allison had an argument with her daughter’s father and he packed his things and moved out of their apartment. She was forced to assume all of the financial responsibility for her family. She quickly fell behind on rent and bills and had a hard time affording the basic necessities.

Full of despair and unable to put food on the table, Allison turned to LifeNet 4 Families for assistance. There, she received an emergency food box through United Way of Broward County’s Project Lifeline program. She was added to the database to receive nutritious food each month. With a young daughter, the ability to access fresh fruits and vegetables, bread and milk was important to Allison.

“It was a struggle to put any kind of food on the table for my daughter. I could not worry about whether she was eating healthy foods. Thanks to United Way’s Project Lifeline, she now has fresh produce each month.”

With the help of United Way of Broward County’s Project Lifeline and funded partners such as LifeNet 4 Families, parents like Allison Campbell can provide their families with nutritious food and children like Danae can grow up to be strong and healthy. Note: The names have been changed to protect the privacy of the client.

MISSION UNITED

FRANCISCO

When Francisco Martinez initially reached out for assistance from MISSION UNITED, it seemed like nothing was going right in his life. Francisco, an Army veteran, had recently lost his home, job and was struggling to put food on the table. With the help of MISSION UNITED and SSVF case managers, Francisco received food and secured housing. During a MISSION UNITED Career Boot Camp, he was assigned a success coach to guide him through the process of applying for jobs, interviewing and ultimately securing a position. His success coach worked for UPS and told him about a job opening with the shipping company. Within weeks, Martinez was hired at UPS and promoted directly to a driver position.

In addition to essentials, such as housing, food and employment, MISSION UNITED was also able to assist him in other areas. After a cavity left him in excruciating pain, a local dentist provided dental services free of charge. Martinez also received hair cuts from a barber who donates his services to veterans.

Francisco Martinez proves a person may be down, but they are not out. The wide-ranging support he received from MISSION UNITED, shows veterans like Francisco they are not alone.
