| Part VII | Debbie Hayworth the President/CPO resigned on May 30th and was replaced by Rebecca Melton. | |
| 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, Coast 2 Coast 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 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 2,700 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 engaged in an enrichment and mentoring camp for rising sixth graders. Partnering in June and July of 2013 with the Rock Hill School District, York District 1 and Academic Achievers (Charlotte, NC), UWYC was able to expand the reach of students participating in the programming. York District 1 offered the program to 40 students and Rock Hill District 3 offered the program for 42 rising sixth graders. This pre-middle school experience offered students an early intervention, mentoring and academic summer program. We were also able to collaborate and work with 60 rising seventh and eighth graders and provide enrichment opportunities for them as well. Community volunteers and business sponsors offered classes, field trips, enrichment opportunities and social interaction to build self-confidence, academic and social awareness. Continued interaction with school counselors and families revealed that transportation prohibited many students from attending this summer enrichment experience. Through the collaboration with Academic Achievers and their support, they were able to provide transportation for all students involved in the program. The goal is to continue to support the students throughout the school year and provide additional support to schools and also provide enrichment opportunities and social interaction. Donations and in-kind services will be utilized to support further yearlong interaction.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 that meet poverty guidelines 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 Stations Toys for Happiness, US Marine Corps Toys for Tots, The Heralds Empty Stocking Fund, The Salvation Army Angel Tree and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. Sleigh Bell Networks 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 registration is taken at the School Districts ParentSmart Resource Center. York School Districts 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 2,700 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 was not sufficient to meet needs. Second Harvest Food Bank also donated containers of toys and bikes as well as employees of Williams and Fudge. Empty Stocking Fund: Established and promoted by The Herald for more than 27 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 2012, Empty Stocking Fund donations, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank provided 1,250 food boxes to needy families throughout York County. ESF donations were used to also purchase toys and gifts when the community toy drive was not sufficient to meet needs.Project Connect: UWYC in collaboration with the York County Regional Chamber of Commerces 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 March, 2013, UWYCs Project Connect expanded a partnership with St. Johns United Methodist Church to serve our communitys urban core with these services. During the event, 80 clients were assisted. Over 60 volunteers staffed the event. UWYC funds were used to purchase food, 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 security services 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, and Catawba Area Coalition for the Homeless. A total of 98 unduplicated men were provided winter shelter during November 2012 through March 2013. Pathways to Housing: York Countys Response to Homelessness: In 2009 a collaboration with the City of Rock Hill, Housing Development Corp, and 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 Designated grants administered by UWYC, provided for staff coordination of community mobilization and development of the long-range strategic plan. United Ways 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 Ways Call 2-1-1 is staffed 24/7, is easy to remember, 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.

In 2012-2013, more than 2,600 calls were received and more than 3,800 needs were identified and referred to appropriate agencies and organizations. Utility assistance was the top identified need. The Salvation Army was the most utilized agency for referrals each month to address utility assistance.Community Change: Community Change is a new and exciting partnership between the City of Rock Hill and the United Way of York County, SC. The program was established to assist low-income City of Rock Hill customers with their utility bills. Knowing that utility assistance payments are a top identified need in our community, we encourage even more City of Rock Hill utility customers to round up their bill to contribute. The money will then be allocated to local partner agencies to administer the direct service to the clients. United Way of York County, SC will act as the fiscal agent for the allocation to agencies.Dental Access Grant: Part | |
