| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4c | Other Program Services/Resource Development continued: UWYC initiatives and funded programs utilized nearly 1,000 volunteers for more than 6,200 volunteer hours valued at $136,277 in 2011-12. | |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4b | Community Building continued: Increased access to services through UWYC's 2-1-1 Information and Referral System, Familywize Discount Prescription Cards, and leveraged resources help meet growing needs related to three areas: Basic Needs-Financial Stability, Education-Family Support and Health-Wellness. UWYC seeks opportunities to connect clients, agencies and available resources to maximize access and distribution of resources. UWYC facilitated agency trainings and new collaborations with The Benefit Bank on-line registration system which increased access to food stamps and other benefits for clients valued at $175,000. UWYC also provides support to local agencies and organizations to obtain several grant awards related to homelessness, financial stability and prevention of chronic disease through physical activity, healthy nutrition and decreased tobacco use. UWYC's involvement and leadership role in various community organizations and groups increases opportunities for collaborations to achieve common goals, maximize resources and decreases duplication of efforts. The Sleigh Bell Network is an example of how individual programs are able to serve 3,400 children in an efficient and effective manner when they work together. Examples include Community TEAMS, Feel the Heat, Sleigh Bell Network's Toys for Happiness and Empty Stocking Fund, etc. Community T.E.A.M.S. (Teaching, Enriching And Mentoring Students): Successful transition to middle school is a key indicator for high school completion. To increase high school completion rates, UWYC developed an enrichment and mentoring camp for rising sixth graders. Partnering in July 2011 with the City of Rock Hill and First Baptist Church of Rock Hill for facility usage, and Rock Hill School District for student referrals and transportation, UWYC provided a diverse group of 49 rising sixth grade students an early intervention, mentoring and academic program. Community volunteers and business sponsors offered classes, field trips, enrichment opportunities and social interaction to build self-confidence and social awareness. Continued interaction with school counselors and families revealed that 12 students received "D's and F's" on their first six week report cards. Collaboration with teachers and families resulted in bi-weekly tutoring and mentoring sessions provided at UWYC office available to all TEAMS students. Quarterly pot luck suppers also provided opportunities to develop a support system for students and family members. All students maintaining their involvement received a "C" average or better grades, with several students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes. Donations and in-kind services are utilized for summer camp participants and program.Feel the Heat: York County Natural Gas Authority established this program in 2006 through customer contributions added to natural gas billing statements to assist senior citizens and/or disabled individuals with utility payments. United Way of York County, SC administers the program with direct services and case management provided by UWYC partner agencies: The Salvation Army, PATH, Pilgrims' Inn, Clover Area Assistance Center and Fort Mill Care Center. Upon payment verification and recommendation for assistance from UWYC partner agencies, UWYC issues payment on behalf of client to York County Natural Gas Authority. Sleigh Bell Network Partners:In 2010 The UWYC created Sleigh Bell Network for additional collaborative partnerships including WRHI Radio Station's Toys for Happiness, US Marine Corps' Toys for Tots, The Herald's Empty Stocking Fund, The Salvation Army Angel Tree and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. Sleigh Bell Network's purpose is to share resources and reduce duplication of services through a shared database system. Rock Hill School District Three provides the warehouse location. Program registrations are taken at ParentSmart Resource Center. York School District's Family Resource Center also takes applications and distributes toys to their families. Other agencies including Department of Social Services, Keystone Substance Abuse Services, and Safe Passage receive holiday assistance through this collaborative effort. Applicants must meet income qualifications to receive services. A total of 3,400 children received gifts through this collaboration. UWYC also serves as fiscal agent for Toys for Happiness and Empty Stocking funds as described below:Toys for Happiness: WHRI Radio began this holiday assistance program in 1985 to collect toys for York County families in need. UWYC partnered with Toys for Happiness in 1992 to manage the toy warehouse, volunteers and provide toy distribution to families who qualify for assistance. Cash donations to the TFH program are utilized to purchase toys and gifts when the community toy drive is not sufficient to meet needs. Empty Stocking Fund: Established and promoted by The Herald for more than 26 years, this program provided financial resources to agencies serving those in need during the holiday season. In 2008, UWYC was chosen to administer the Empty Stocking Fund to provide holiday assistance to children and families in need. In 2011, Empty Stocking Fund donations, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank provided 1,600 food boxes to needy families throughout York County. In addition, 100 bikes were purchased to supplement community donations. Project Connect: UWYC in collaboration with the York County Regional Chamber of Commerce's Leadership York County class of 2008-2009 initiated Project Connect in 2009 to provide services and connect individuals with available resources. Designated contributions support and deliver one-stop resource opportunity for homeless individuals in our community. In January 2012 - UWYC's Project Connect expanded a partnership with local faith based organizations serving a local Hispanic Community to provide outreach efforts and connections. During the event over 126 clients were assisted. Over 97 volunteers/exhibitors staffed the event. UWYC funds and donations were used to purchase food, school supplies, hygiene items and hospitality bags.The Warming Center: Established in 2007 as a collaborative venture with York County Council, UWYC administers a grant from the Council to provide facilities for homeless men during winter months when other year-round shelter providers were full. Key partners include: Bethel United Methodist Church, City of Rock Hill, York County Government, UWYC, York Baptist Association, Catawba Area Coalition for the Homeless and other faith community organizations committed to meeting the needs of the homeless in our area. A total of 87 unduplicated men were provided winter shelter and supper November 2011- March 2012. In 2011-12, the United Way of York County changed the funding method for supporting homeless women and children during the winter months. The Salvation Army applied for funding for the women and children's shelter through UWYC's annual allocation process. They served 46 women and children. Pathways to Housing: York County's Response to Homelessness: In collaboration with the City of Rock Hill, UWYC provided leadership and project management to prepare a gap analysis and action plan to address the multi-faceted issue of homelessness in our area. Established as a designated fund administered by UWYC, monies received from contributors provided for staff coordination of community mobilization and development of the long-range strategic plan. United Way's Call 2-1-1: In September 2007, UWYC established this county-wide, federally-designated calling code to provide local residents access to comprehensive information and referral for health and human services. United Way's Call 2-1-1 is staffed 24/7, a confidential and free service accessible from both cell and land line telephones in York County. Callers are connected to our accredited call center in Columbia, SC administered by the United Way Association of South Carolina. Certified call specialists make appropriate referrals to all area service providers in York County. This service was a direct outcome of the 2005 community needs study commissioned by UWYC to provide an easy, accessible way for citizens to get help, give help or find volunteer opportunities. In 2011-2012, more than 3,000 callers identified 5,673 needs and received 5,886 referrals to appropriate agencies and organizations. Utility assistance was the most common need resulting in over 27% of all identified needs. UWYC's 2-1-1 system connects callers to available resources and support services. An example: Carolina Community Actions' Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) was typically one of the top three referral agencies to maximize access to available funds in York County. Partnerships with local United Way agencies to enroll individuals in LIHEAP resulted in over $1 million in utility assistance to York County residents. | |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4a | Community Investment continued: The annual Allocation Investment process utilized more than 40 local volunteers assigned to teams that review program applications, tour agencies and interview agency leadership to make informed decisions and funding recommendations. Volunteers represent a cross section of the community and ensure that people who live and work in York County participate in funding decisions. The Allocation Investment Cabinet (AIC) consists of two representatives from each team and several UWYC board members. The AIC evaluates all funding proposals in relationship to local priorities and potential for creating lasting change with available funds for program distribution. The AIC's funding recommendation is acted upon and approved by UWYC's Board of Directors in May based on projected campaign results. Agencies maintain accountability and transparency by submitting quarterly financial reports to receive funds. Agencies failing to submit reports in a timely manner may face penalty or forfeit remaining funds for noncompliance of Memorandum of Agreement.United Way Association of South Carolina/Department of Social Services grant: In 2011, United Way of York County, SC participated in the UWASC/DSS partnership to leverage additional federal funding to support local child care programs. For a United Way to participate in the program, support must be allocated to an agency's program that provides children's services. The United Way of York County supports three agencies who meet the criteria: A Place For Hope, Boys and Girls Clubs of York County, and Upper Palmetto YMCA. The United Way of York County's board approved $67,500 in support of these agencies which was used to gain an additional $10,125 from the UWASC/DSS partnership for the three agencies already mentioned. | |
