2020 ANNUAL REPORT

Transforming Lives & Communities 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Overcoming Challenges is at the Heart of Our Mission

What a year it’s been. Adjusting our care. Investing in technology. Retraining our clinicians to care for customers remotely. Protecting our people and customers. And more. Throughout all the challenges, our teams at The LCADA Way remained committed to assisting individuals on their road to wellness and recovery. For some, we are where their personal journey begins. And for others, we are the support they need as their journey to sobriety continues. And for those who are successful, we remain a supporting advocate. As our case load continues to rise due to the strains of the pandemic and the never-ending waves of stress, alcohol and other drugs, we remain focused on providing a full array of behavioral health care and addiction services tailored to be gender and culturally appropriate based on each individual’s needs

Changing Lives Through The LCADA Way

It takes passion, commitment and flexibility to do what we do. And like our customers who come to us for help, courage to see this will improve and get better in the future. As we wrap up a very challenging year, we look forward to better things for our staff and our customers. We embrace and trust that tomorrow holds the promise of a way. It’s what we do – “It’s The LCADA Way”

4 Letter to Our Community

Friends of The LCADA Way,

I think we can all agree that 2020 was a very challenging and unprecedented year. In the first quarter of the year, many were hit hard with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Governor and CDC mandates, many lost jobs, businesses closed and schools had to shut down. As such, we had to quickly adjust and shift a number of our services to a virtual platform. This took a lot of coordinated effort from our IT Department to ensure our staff had the proper equipment and internet capacity to work from home and still provide the quality of care that our customers have come to know. We worked to provide as much TeleHealth as possible to protect everyone during this pandemic, which also included Prevention and Medical services. We’re truly grateful for our dedicated and knowledgeable staff, who diligently continues to stretch and find innovative delivery methods in order to ensure that the Dan Haight individuals and families we serve receive the highest care possible. PRESIDENT & CEO

Under the leadership of Thomas Stuber (former CEO), the first half of 2020, to the shift in new leadership the last half of 2020, this Team has achieved success. We have grown as an agency and have successfully navigated the most perplexing time in our history. As we prepare to address the surge for addiction and mental health services, caused in part by the pandemic, we will continue to forge ahead with courage and strength.

Thanks to a number of grants and community donations, our agency was able to weather the storm and keep afloat. We are very thankful to have partners who supplement our work with the necessary services that The LCADA Way does not provide. Thank you to Road to Hope, The Jack Mulhall Center, Erie County Health Department, Safe Harbor, Let’s Get Real and the support of MHARS Board of Brady Aldinger BOARD OF DIRECTORS Lorain County. To The LCADA Way Board of Directors, who provide outstanding leadership, guidance CHAIRMAN and support, to our community partners whose combined efforts have helped The LCADA Way save lives and reunite families who are devastated by addiction, we also say thank you.

To address the need for a detox facility in Lorain County, we have partnered with The Nord Center, to build a Crisis Stabilization/Detox facility. The detox portion of this project opened in late October and has served 42 customers through December 2020. Our goals for the first quarter are to create a capital campaign and gain public support through education and advocacy. There is clearly a need based on the data.

Our focus is to find improved processes of service delivery, and our willingness to share these with other communities. Despite COVID-19, we are back on track with service delivery. For the first part of this year, our goals are to create same day access for assessments and seven day a week admissions to The Key residential facility for women.

To you, our friends, who continue to support us and play a key role in the lives of individuals and families struggling with addiction, we say thank you! Together we save lives!

Sincerely,

Dan Haight President & CEO

Brady Aldinger Chairman, Board of Directors

17 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Ways to Give

YOUR HEARTFELT DONATIONS AND SUPPORT MAKE A DIFFERENCE Real Estate Real Estate such as personal residences, farms, vacation homes, commercial and rental property is often the subject of gifts. Like gifts of appreciated securities, gifts of real estate can be attractive because of the double tax benefit – an immediate charitable contribution and the avoidance of capital gains tax. Gifts-In-Kind Gifts-in-Kind are goods and services whose worth cannot necessarily be counted in dollars, but provide an added benefit to the organization. This includes supporting our fleet of vans – oil, gas, maintenance – as we are the only organization in the country who provides treatment transportation to our customers. Pledges Pledges may spread gift payments over a period of years. Many of The LCADA Way supporters have made multi-year pledges to the capital campaign and other avenues of support. Life Insurance You may purchase a new Life Insurance policy or simply donate a policy that you already hold but no longer need. Designating The LCADA Way as the owner and beneficiary of the policy can provide valuable tax benefits. Cash Cash is the simplest and most direct way to contribute to The LCADA Way. You may designate your gift for a specific purpose or you may choose to leave your gift undesignated to benefit the organization’s area of greatest need. Cash gifts generally provide an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the amount of the gift. Planned Gifts Planned Gifts are a commitment to the future of The LCADA Way mission. Bequests, gift annuities, life insurance and retirement plan proceeds and various forms of gifts in trust are examples of planned gifts.
