For Seniors for Families 2015 IMPACT REPORT GOING WIDER FOR SENIORS GOING DEEPER FOR FAMILIES HOPE AND DIGNITY FOR ALL Dear Friends, Last year, Catholic Social Services had the honor to serve 13,000 seniors and families. By helping seniors live independent, connected lives and by helping families thrive, we continued our 70-year tradition of providing services that address the community’s unmet needs. While we are proud of our efforts, we are not satisfied; we see an urgent need to do more. Seeing the population of seniors grow rapidly and families facing more complicated challenges, we recognize an opportunity to provide more meaningful help. Rachel Lustig That is why this year, we developed and implemented a strategy to Go Wider and Deeper. President & CEO ‘Go Wider for Seniors’ to help more seniors age with grace and independence. ‘Go Deeper for Families’ to provide more holistic care to help families thrive. We made huge strides in 2015! We served 17% more seniors last year, helping an additional 420 of our elderly neighbors to age with dignity and independence. We provided more intense care in each of our family programs, and the 96,000 meals provided became entry points to individually focused opportunities. And, we keep building as there are exciting initiatives being launched in 2016 for both seniors and families. Thomas R. Winters But, we didn’t do this by ourselves. We could not have done this without YOU. Board Chair YOUR generosity ensures help for seniors and families when they need it most. YOUR time spent in strategy, companionship, volunteering and prayer more than doubles our capacity. YOUR passion inspires us to see the dignity in each person. YOUR hope helps us imagine a brighter future in each situation. YOUR trust makes it possible for us to build new opportunities for our clients. YOU are living Pope Francis’ call to have “our every word and gesture, ought to express God’s compassion, tenderness and forgiveness for all.” YOU are Catholic Social Services! Rachel Lustig Thomas R. Winters MISSION Motivated by faith, Catholic Social Services helps poor and vulnerable seniors and families reach their potential. Jennifer Fears-Volley joined VISION our team as Director, Catholic Social Services envisions a world in which all who Counseling & Pathways are in need are able to meet their potential to live with dignity, hope, and purpose.

While the gift of life is a tremendous blessing, aging can be a challenge – especially FOR SENIORS in the face of poverty, disability, or isolation. Many seniors have compounding challenges, such as declining health, limited mobility, and shrinking incomes. According to the Report to the Community 2015 by the Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging, the senior population in Ohio will grow by 47% by 2030. CSS’s services are a scalable solution to care for our growing population of seniors. It is our goal to grow the number of seniors we serve by 8% each year, so we can double the number of seniors we serve in 10 years. Currently, we are positioned to meet this goal. In 2015, we served 17% more seniors. SENIOR IMPACT REPORT We are helping seniors remain independent. n 95% of Supportive Services clients and 98% of Transportation % Services clients said CSS helped 100 them remain independent living needs met n 100% of clients have living needs met through Payee and Money Our services are a Management programs solution to care for our growing population of We are combating isolation that seniors.

On most days she ate only one meal – a hot dog and one slice of bread. With some persuasion from her granddaughter, Anne agreed to meet with Tania, a social worker from Catholic Social Services in our Licking County office, and she slowly allowed Tania to help her work through her depression and obtain food and affordable housing. Today, Anne lives in subsidized senior housing and “loves” her new home. She says that before, “I was like a robot, just getting by each day,” but since moving, Anne has made new friends who have brought joy back into her life. Now she has the freedom to visit her neighbors, go to the community center and join in the activities or have See more of Anne’s story on a meal, and she can even afford to “order a pizza now if I want.” Anne is proud of her independence and amazed the video on our website: by what a positive difference Catholic Social Services has www.colscss.org. made in her life. 5 We are proud to say we served 10,114 people through our family programs, and we have Going DEEPER a 95% satisfaction rate. Our family services range from food assistance to intensive counseling and case management support. FOR FAMILIES People come to us when they need just a little help, but more often, their challenges run deeper, and they need more help to get back on their feet. That is why we are strengthening our efforts to“Go Deeper for Families” to build a deeper, trusting relationship to help families thrive through more holistic and intensive We are helping families care. Together, we can help families build to thrive by growing our a stable income and network of loving and intensive services. accountable relationships.

By the age of 22, he had been in and out of jail with a history of drug abuse and was separated from his wife. But when his son was born addicted to heroin, it was a wake-up call. He knew he needed to be a better father, and to learn how to do that, he sought help at the St. Francis Catholic Outreach Center for anger management and parenting education classes. As we got to know Brian, we were able to support his efforts to stay clean and find a stable job. The classes helped Brian learn how to walk away from bad situations and stop and think about the consequences of his actions before reacting. Today, Brian has a steady job and was recently awarded custody of his children. He is determined to make a better life for himself and his sons, and to give them the life all three of them deserve. 54% increase IN SERVICES AT ST.

  • 15 Years of Research, More Than 30 Studies
    Greater Columbus Arts Council Ticket Fee Proposal to Columbus City Council The Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Ticket Fee proposal is for a 7% fee on admissions and tickets in the city of Columbus, with 70 percent of the funds to be reinvested by the Arts Council back into the community in the form of grants to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and artists, and 30 percent used for critically needed capital improvements for Nationwide Arena, a public facility in the center of a major Columbus business and residential neighborhood. Two key exemptions recommended by the Arts Council after holding a series of public forums include: Tickets and admissions priced $10 and under at for-profit and nonprofit live arts and sports venues. Live performances and events at for-profit and nonprofit venues with occupancy of 400 or less. The full details of the proposal and accompanying research can be found at: www.gcac.org/impact-of-the-arts/columbus-ticket-fee-proposal/ This proposal is good for the city and people of Columbus because: Non-profit arts and culture and professional sports and entertainment attractions are major reasons Columbus has grown and thrived as a premier community. These dynamic sectors are responsible for thousands of jobs, billions in economic benefits, endless opportunities for children and families, and critical energy for our quality of life. But, additional public investment is needed to prevent the erosion of quality offerings and facilities for these two vital sectors – and to keep them working to produce all the economic, educational and quality-of-life benefits for our community.
