A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO & BOARD CHAIR
Dear Friends,
Before the pandemic, 34% of the residents of Monmouth and Ocean counties were struggling to make ends meet. This lack of financial stability also impacts the prospects for building an educated society and a healthy population. With the continued effects of the pandemic, which now include even greater economic instability, one fact has become clear – many of our neighbors find themselves in a time of profound need. United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) is well-positioned to help.
Our mission is to bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in our community. While we are committed to programs that facilitate long-term change, we have also incorporated more short-term initiatives to help with our residents’ most pressing concerns. This agility is one aspect of what makes United Way unique. Our focus on the overall community allows us to adapt and respond to its needs; as needs change and evolve over time, so do we.
One way UWMOC responds to the needs of our community is by acting as a convener to create and support collaborations among organizations. We identify the gaps in services and bring partners together to develop innovative solutions based on best practices. We then mobilize and invest the needed resources including funding, volunteers, in-kind donations, expertise and technology, ensuring that the principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are at the forefront of our work and woven throughout every aspect.
At United Way, we know that together we can accomplish more than we can alone. We currently have over 70 community partnerships including local schools and nonprofits. Through these partnerships, more than 40,000 items were distributed in 2021, including new children’s winter coats, personal protective equipment (PPE) and personal hygiene items.
In this report, we invite you to learn more about our programs and successes, including how we addressed learning loss by closing gaps in academic achievement, adapted to make access to critical financial services and supports entirely virtual, launched an initiative to provide personal hygiene essentials to struggling families, and increased access to health services to promote the overall well-being of children in our community.
With the help of our volunteers, community partners, Leadership Givers and all of our supporters, we are proud of the impact we made to help our community in 2021. Thanks to you, we will continue to move towards our vision of a community where everyone achieves their greatest potential through a quality education, income stability and healthy lives.
For those of you who were instrumental in helping our United Way make a difference, we hope you’ll read this report with pride. For those who are considering supporting us, we hope you’re compelled to join us. For those who have benefited from our services, know that you are not alone.
To move forward, we must Live United.
Sincerely,
OUR MISSION
To bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in our community.
OUR VISION
A community where everyone achieves their greatest potential through a quality education, income stability and healthy lives.
STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) seeks to engage the entire community in our work without regard to race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity and expression, ability, sexual orientation, veteran status, familial status or socio-economic status. That commitment is reflected in all aspects of United Way – including our staff, volunteers, partners and the communities we serve.
UWMOC’s mission and vision center on inclusion and equity. Our mission is to bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in our community. We envision a community where everyone achieves their greatest potential through a quality education, income stability and healthy lives. We champion policies and programs that seek to remove the barriers and inequitable systems keeping our residents from accessing the services they need to be successful in life.
Our United Way is committed to embracing diversity, advocating for opportunity and advancement for all. We are dedicating ourselves and taking action to dismantle the policies and practices ingrained in our society that result in racial and economic injustice. To achieve equity, we must unite as a society and commit to systemic change.
UWMOC will continue to champion our core value of inclusivity across all sectors, bringing business, philanthropic, community and civic leaders together to permanently break the cycle of poverty.
Bridging the gap to a quality education for a brighter future.
The effects of the pandemic have continued to impact youth, particularly those from low-income households who do not have access to the same resources and supports as their middle and upper-income peers. Our Education programs and partnerships provide much-needed support for unserved and underserved youth to help them continue to grow and thrive, especially during these challenging times. We focus on more intensive support for a targeted number of students to help make a greater impact.
Youth Vocational Training
Youth Vocational Training exposes and connects youth to a diverse array of career options and fields, including hands-on learning opportunities with electric, woodworking and even plumbing. As part of our work in this initiative, we partnered with Toms River High School South to create Project SPEAR-IT – a pre-apprenticeship program for freshmen to build awareness of vocational and technical careers. The project also helps students become eligible for programs with Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools.
Parent Engagement and Empowerment
Our Parent Engagement and Empowerment partnerships ensure parents and caregivers have the support and resources they need for their children to be successful when they start school. These programs work with the caretakers of young children to provide connections to community resources and educational workshops on a wide variety of topics including health, developmental milestones, nutrition and early literacy. This helps to ensure that their children are prepared for school academically, developmentally and social-emotionally.
Learning Loss Intervention
Funded through our Covid-19 Recovery Fund, The Extended Day Program at Cedar Grove Elementary in Toms River completed its second cycle in May 2021, and proved to be another wildly successful round of preventing learning loss.
The Extended Day Program aimed to address learning loss by closing gaps in academic achievement. By meeting in small groups after school, students in grades 1-3 received intensive multi-sensory instruction with a focus on foundational skills such as phonics, sight words, fluency and comprehension. Older students learned strategies to help them navigate higher levels of text and allow them to better access grade level reading, writing and speaking standards.
The majority of children in the program demonstrated measurable growth in reading fluency and comprehension. One of the program's many highlights was a student who saw a remarkable progression in his reading level, which started in the 9th percentile and jumped up to the 25th percentile in just 8 weeks. In addition, the small group environment fostered improved social emotional skills and built confidence.
"The Extended-Day Covid-Relief program at Cedar Grove Elementary School has had a profound impact on our students as well as our parents," said former Toms River Superintendent Thomas Gialanella. "We are extremely grateful to United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties for funding another cycle; the program has proved to be a tremendous success, and has provided a model for our entire district when it comes to confronting the learning losses caused by this pandemic."
Connecting people to the resources they need to become financially stable.
The economic crisis caused by the pandemic has significantly impacted our community, and the number of individuals struggling to make ends meet has increased substantially. Many households were looking for help for the first time and didn’t know where to turn.
Our Financial Success Center (FSC) Network is a “one-stop shop” for access to critical financial services and supports. All services are free and include screenings for benefits, assistance with applications and connections to community resources. 2021 was the first full year that FSC Network services were entirely virtual, with those in need able to call or email to speak with trained staff in order to receive assistance.
Jennifer Hakim, UWMOC's Community Impact Manager, is the person who answers those calls. With a Master's degree in Social Work, experience in the field and formal training, Jennifer has the expertise and knowledge of local resources to get people the help that they need.
“Many people who call are desperate and frantic for help,” says Hakim. “They’re scared, upset and at their wits end because they haven’t been able to get assistance and don’t know where else to go. Because they’re being referred directly to our partner agencies, we know they’ll receive the help that they need.”
What sets the FSC Network apart from others is our ability to navigate the field of services and connect people to various agencies to fulfill their needs. By contacting us once, a client can receive seamless access to multiple partners without getting the runaround. Of the many calls received, one example of this comprehensive service is
“A woman named Marie* called because she was behind on her rent and utility bills and needed help paying them,” recounts Hakim. “She was employed, but faced a family emergency that caused her to fall behind. I reached out to one of our partner agencies that handles utility assistance, and I assured Marie they would follow up with her directly to complete those applications. I also gave her referrals for agencies that could help with rental assistance so that she wouldn’t face eviction. To help with her budget, I connected her with one our financial coaches. I always tell clients to call me back if those resources don’t work out for them so I can offer other options to ensure they get the help they need.”
This is just one example of the comprehensive services the Financial Success Center Network offers. Our work in financial stability is always adapting and growing in order to address both the emergent and long-term needs of the people in our community.

GIFT OF WARMTH
UWMOC partners with New Jersey Natural Gas for the Gift of Warmth program, which helps income-eligible households – as well as customers experiencing temporary or unanticipated financial hardship – pay their natural gas bills.
EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER PROGRAM (EFSP)
UWMOC manages and provides administrative support for both the Monmouth and Ocean County EFSP Board and program. This national initiative was created to help people with economic emergencies by providing funding to local organizations to address hunger and homelessness. Each year, the local independent boards select community organizations to receive funding for services such as food, shelter, rent/mortgage and utility assistance.
Linking our community to opportunities to build a healthy life.
UWMOC is working to enhance and expand health services by providing primary care access to youth and families in underserved communities.
Our School-Based Nurse Practitioner (SBNP) partnership places a nurse practitioner into schools in at-risk communities in order to directly provide students with healthcare. The bi-lingual SBNP works alongside the school nurse to provide primary care access to all students, prescribe and administer medications for acute episodic illness, conduct screenings and sports physicals, provide referrals to community resources, conduct health education for students, parents and families and teach management for chronic disease.
Mental health has become an incredibly important component to the SBNP program due to the effects of the pandemic on children and their families. Joe Palumbo, the former Director of Guidance for Keyport Public Schools, speaks to the role that nurse practitioners play in the mental health of their students:
“The nurse practitioners at Keyport Central School have assisted numerous times when we had a student experiencing mental health issues. Typically, they see students who are manifesting anxiety symptoms such as headaches and stomach aches. In working with the student, they can help them understand how anxiety presents and address the root cause of the symptoms.”
Mr. Palumbo expanded on the importance of this program to students and their caregivers:
“The services that the School-Based Nurse Practitioner program provides are invaluable. It breaks down barriers that some families have in getting access to medical care and connects them with services outside of school that can help them lead healthy lives. It provides convenience for parents and keep students in school rather than absent awaiting an immunization or prescription.”
UWMOC also distributed donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and more to schools throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties in order to help keep students and school administration safe and healthy.
SINGLECARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG SAVINGS PROGRAM
UWMOC distributes prescription discount cards to local pharmacies, nonprofits and individuals to assist those who are uninsured or underinsured with medication costs.
Every day, many families struggling to make ends meet have to make difficult choices with their limited income. Not having enough funds to afford the basic necessities creates significant stress on households — both financially and emotionally.
Economic hardship in our community has been deepened by the pandemic, and prices continue to increase on many basic essentials. Many personal hygiene and household products are not covered by government assistance such as SNAP (food stamps) or consistently available in the community. Since its launch in November 2021, our Basic Needs Initiative has been tackling these issues by providing local families with a steady supply of personal hygiene products in order to relieve some of their financial burden.
Our Senior Comfort Bag project provides personal care and comfort items to the residents that need them the most. Nearly 50% of senior citizens in our community fall below the poverty rate. With the strain of living on a limited income and increased isolation during the pandemic, our seniors need help now more than ever.
In September 2021, UWMOC collaborated with six United Ways in New Jersey to run an urgent donation drive to support the 9,500 Afghan refugees being housed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix in Lakehurst. As part of our mission to bridge the gaps to the unmet needs of our residents, UWMOC was proud to provide our new neighbors who fled their homes for safety with with critical care items and help them transition to their new life in the US. The drive focused on meeting the most emergent needs of the families such as diapers, personal care products, undergarments, and cell phone chargers.
United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Volunteer Center recruits individuals, families, organizations and corporations and matches them with meaningful volunteer opportunities at local nonprofit agencies. We make volunteering easy, flexible and impactful for the individual while helping agencies meet their goals.
The Volunteer Center also provides donations to our residents through various community drives. As more families are experiencing financial difficulty, the need for basic essentials such as PPE, winter coats and hygiene products is greater than ever. We partner with local schools and nonprofits that have a pulse on the needs of our community to determine the demand for items and enlist the help of companies to acquire donations.

UWMOC funds NJ 211, a statewide help line that connects callers to vital local and governmental services. The program provides a link to resources for food, housing, health care, childcare, job search assistance, financial assistance and more. NJ 211 also serves as the State Homeless Hotline, New Jersey's Utility Assistance Hotline, and supports the NJ Department of Health by serving as the number to call when looking for general information about state directives and services related to COVID-19.
