2020 Report to the Community

d

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO & BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,

In the wake of a pandemic, United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) and our community faced many challenges in 2020 – but from hardship comes innovation. No other crisis in modern history has had as great an impact on our daily lives, which influenced the evaluation of our work based on evolving needs. UWMOC is working hard to further our new mission to bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in our community.

Over the last year, we refreshed our brand and objectives, increased our digital transformation, assessed our partnerships and fostered new alliances in order to have the greatest impact on Monmouth and Ocean counties. Our dedication to equity and inclusion has never been more important. As a result, United Way is even stronger in its ability to convene partners, providers, volunteers and resources to address the needs of our community.

Despite the challenging environment, UWMOC made a considerable impact on the community in 2020. Our programs and initiatives are meeting the needs of today and setting the foundation for tomorrow. We created the UWMOC COVID-19 Recovery Fund to help individuals and our partner organizations affected by the pandemic. We coordinated donations of items such as paper goods, diapers and winter coats to help alleviate the basic needs of our neighbors. Our Education programs provided reading and math interventions to struggling students, and summer literacy programs were able to be held in-person. Our Financial Success Center Network was expanded to include virtual services to work with participants to meet their immediate needs as well as start planning for their future.

These are just some examples of the amazing impact we’ve had on our community with the help of our volunteers, community partners, Leadership Givers and all of our supporters. 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.

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.

 

bridging the gaps

 

When our region began to shut down in March 2020 to help stop the spread of COVID-19, United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) recognized the challenges that our community would be facing in the months and years to come.

In anticipation of these hardships, UWMOC organized a COVID-19 Recovery Fund to address the unmet needs of those economically impacted by this crisis. These funds enabled some nonprofits to safely reopen, and also helped individuals and families financially impacted by COVID-19. The first $20,000 in donations to the UWMOC COVID-19 Recovery Fund were graciously matched dollar for dollar by Grunin Foundation and New Jersey Natural Gas.

In addition to funds raised to support our community, UWMOC also coordinated a variety of donation drives. We listened and responded to the unmet needs of our residents, and provided items such as paper goods and diapers to help ensure they had access to these essentials.

UWMOC is building a better future for our community, one where every person has an equal opportunity to thrive. Our goal is not to “return to normal” – we need to reimagine a new normal that equips our residents to weather inevitable future crises. United Way is unparalleled in our power to connect partners, providers and resources to address the needs of our community. Together, we will overcome this health and economic crisis.

Bridging the gap to a quality education for a brighter future.

COVID-19 significantly affected education with the shift to virtual and hybrid learning. The pandemic continues 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 youth to help them continue to grow and thrive, especially during these challenging times.

Student engagement is an issue that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. One of the goals of our Youth Vocational Training program is to engage at-risk high school students early on to prevent them from becoming disaffected, which often leads to decreased attendance and dropping out of school altogether.

Project SPEAR-IT students continued their technical education remotely throughout the pandemic.

Youth Vocational Training exposes and connects youth to a diverse array of career options and fields, including hands-on learning opportunities. 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 and sophomores who may be interested in pursuing vocational and technical careers. The project also helps students become eligible for programs with Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools.

“There’s this notion that every kid has to go to college, but that isn’t the only pathway to having a good life,” said Timothy O’Leary, lead teacher of Project SPEAR-IT. “You can come out of vo-tech with a skill or a trade and make a great living for you and your family.”

Despite school closures and the absence of in-person instruction for most of 2020, students didn’t miss the opportunity to enhance their learning. Mr. O’Leary was able to transition the program to a virtual model, which included how-to instructional videos and Google Meet discussions. Prior to the pandemic, attendance rates were even stronger than expected, and that engagement transitioned to distance learning with a 98-percent attendance rate for the program’s virtual classes.

“There are kids that aren’t really doing well in school, but they’re excited to learn and work on their projects,” adds Mr. O’Leary. “The program is keeping them interested and building their confidence. It’s amazing what United Way has done for our school. It’s like a dream come true, and I’m so proud to be a part of this project.”

Connecting people to the resources they need to become financially stable.

The economic crisis caused by the pandemic has significantly impacted our community. Unemployment rates have soared, and the number of individuals struggling to make ends meet has increased substantially. Many households are looking for help for the first time and don’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. One of the many great successes of the FSC Network was connecting a participant named Nancy* with a trained financial coach to be able to buy her first home.

woman in front of homeNancy contacted the FSC Network and worked with one of our partners Affordable Housing Alliance to discuss the steps she needed to take to purchase a home for her and her son. She owned a mobile home, but it no longer met her family’s needs. One of Nancy’s biggest obstacles to home ownership was her low credit score, which had been negatively impacted by errors on her credit report and multiple inquiries due to an auto loan application.

“Nancy was a full-time teacher and still couldn’t make ends meet,” said Linda Osborn, Lead Counselor with Affordable Housing Alliance. “I gave her letter templates to send to the creditors and repositories to fix the errors on her credit report, and also worked with her on a budget to save money. After 18 months, Nancy increased her credit score by over 30 points and I was able to refer her to a HUD-certified housing counselor.”

The housing counselor guided Nancy to obtain a pre-approval from a lender and educated her on how to shop for an affordable home. Linda also ensured that Nancy qualified for the Monmouth County First-Time Homebuyer Program, which grants eligible homebuyers $10,000.
The tools and services provided by the FSC Network allowed Nancy to clean up her credit, increase her savings and purchase her first home.

“People are so overwhelmed and need help in so many areas that they don’t know where to start,” added Linda. “Having an FSC Network coach be able to break it down into baby steps and make them feel like they’re not alone is so important.”

BENEFIT ENROLLMENT CENTERS

Each year, low-income older adults miss out on $20 billion in benefits that help pay for prescriptions, healthcare, food and utilities. 86% of older adults currently receiving one federal benefit are also eligible for, and not receiving, at least one other federal benefit.

In partnership with SCAN, UWMOC and our FSC Network was awarded a $115,000 grant from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to implement Benefits Enrollment Centers (BECs). BEC services are provided through several FSC Network locations and throughout the community. BECs provide screening for benefits and application assistance focused on five core benefits: Medicare Part D Extra Help (or Low-Income Subsidy, LIS); Medicare Savings Programs (MSP); Medicaid; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP); and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

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.

The past year has demonstrated how critical access to healthcare is for our community. UWMOC is working to enhance and expand health services by providing primary care access to youth and families in underserved communities.

In partnership with VNA Health Group, our School-Based Nurse Practitioner (SBNP) program places a Nurse Practitioner into schools in at-risk communities in order to directly provide students with healthcare. The bi-lingual SBNP works in partnership with 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.

One of the students who Nurse Practitioner Catherine Donohue saw in 2020 was an 8th grader named Andres*, a refugee from Guatemala living with his adult brother who supports him.

“Part of what I do is health screenings, and Andres had failed both screenings for hearing and vision,” said Catherine. “Andres and his brother didn’t know much about his history with any issues such as ear infections, so I examined him and he had some abnormalities like fluid behind his ear drums. I was able to give him a course of amoxicillin, and after being treated he passed the hearing exam. I also referred him to an optometrist for a proper eye exam and a program for free eyeglasses or contact lenses.”

This program removes barriers to access healthcare for many students like Andres, and its holistic approach will help him start high school healthy and ready to learn in the fall.

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. A variety of virtual and safe in-person opportunities are available throughout our area.

The Volunteer Center also provides donations to our residents through various community drives. As more families are experiencing financial difficulty during the ongoing pandemic, the need for basic essentials 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. Our Warmest Wishes Coat Drive and partnership with Operation Warm Up Jersey Shore gives local children brand-new coats to keep them warm throughout the winter.
