The Power of One

Through Volunteers of America Western Washington, remarkable events occur every day.Today, a parent received desperately needed food for themselves and their children. After a long search, someone else was finally able to find a job.Yesterday, a single mother developed a plan to buy a house of her own after a painful period of homelessness.A father, serving several years in prison and separated from his family, read a book with his son.A homebound senior sat down to enjoy a warm dinner, visiting with the caring senior who delivered the meal.A person with developmental disabilities looked out at the world from the window of his own apartment.

The most extraordinary thing about these events is that they occur because of one person’s passion, care and dedication.And this individual impact is duplicated across Volunteers of America Western Washington’s 2,000 donors, 475 staff, and more than 300 regular volunteers; each and every one is touching lives.This annual report shares just a few of these stories.

This year, our volunteers contributed 72,150 hours – worth $901,879 - of their time to Volunteers of America Western Washington. Corporate and individual donors contributed 44% of our revenues supporting programs and services.And our dedicated staff of nearly 500 individuals provided the crucial professional skills that are central to any successfully run human service organization.

While these are impressive facts, the truth is that the need for services, funding and volunteers continues to grow in western Washington. For example, the Everett Food Bank demand has increased 40% in the last two years, serving 2700 households now every month.Traditional sources of funding are not as readily available, so now—more than ever—we depend on the support of local businesses and citizens. Each person in the eight counties we serve is a valued member of our community. And within each person is the capacity and resourcefulness to encourage and empower others.

You have the power to revitalize your community. Volunteers of America Western Washington has made it easy for you to do so.When you contribute to our organization, 87 cents of every dollar directly impacts greater Puget Sound individuals and families.When you donate your time and skills to any one of our many programs, you positively impact the lives of your neighbors. It is only through the power and spirit of individuals like you that we are able to take our mission of hope to thousands.With your help, we will move ahead, continue to fill unmet needs in our community and provide valuable resources for those who live and work around us.We thank you for your continued time, support and generosity.

Sincerely,

Over 350,000 individuals contact Volunteers of America Western Washington each year for assistance. Promoting Self-sufficiency

The Power of Gratitude

MAX ENGLAND IS AN ENGAGING, hardworking, fiercely independent family man. He never expected to need help.

But, sixteen years ago, his wife was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, a fatal, genetically inherited disease affecting the nervous system. In a very short while, Max, his wife and two daughters fell on difficult emotional and financial times. He lost his business and all of his financial resources were used to care for his wife; Max and his family’s reserves were exhausted.Then someone suggested he turn to Volunteers of America.“Wonderful, wonderful people work there,” says Max. “They are loving and treat people with respect.They are there because they care.”

Help from Volunteers of America Western Washington came in many unexpected ways.When Max called on Housing and Transitional Services (HATS) for financial help in getting his daughters tested for Huntington’s disease, he was surprised by what happened next.“The man said,‘I don’t know, but I’ll see what I can do,’ and the next day someone from the UW called and asked when I could come in,” says Max. The tests —each of which costs $3000— were offered free of charge, and showed that neither of the girls inherited the disease.

During those difficult times, Max twice used Volunteers of America’s food bank as well as the School Bell Program, which provided school clothes for Max’s girls.“My daughters were in their early teens,” recalls Max, “an age when what you wear to school means a lot. To have them in new school clothes really helped them feel okay.” Volunteers of America also provided a wheelchair and hospital bed for his wife. For Max, the ways in which Volunteers of America helped seemed to know no bounds.

And now, years later, Max is back, this time as one of Volunteers of America’s dedicated volunteers, actively helping people gain access to the same services he used.“Now that I’m retired,” Max explains,“what better way to use my time than to give back to my community?”

Armed with a gentle, sincere voice and by speaking from experience, Max passionately advocates for the Holiday Basket Bureau sponsorship program, giving presentations to various groups to earn support for the program. His fundraising doesn’t stop there however. Max creates giving opportunities around the calendar for others through raffles and auctions that benefit seniors, families going through difficult times, and people with developmental disabilities.

When he needed it,Volunteers of America was there for Max England.And now when demand on Volunteers of America is reaching critical levels, Max England is giving back, helping others in need.What an incredible example of the cycle of giving and receiving, and giving back again. A true testament to the “Power of One”.

Over 400 families in crisis received 46,000 days of transitional shelter last year through our Housing and Transitional Services (HATS) program, allowing these families to plan the next steps in rebuilding their lives. Encouraging Positive Development

The Power of Words

MARY FRENCH HAS SERVED TIME in the Washington Corrections Center for seven of her son Domisi’s eleven years, but the two have managed to maintain a very close relationship.Thanks to Domisi’s grandmother, they see each other weekly.And the bond between mother and son is further strengthened through Volunteers of America Western Washington’s Words Travel Family Connection program.

“Mary found out about Words Travel at the facility two months ago,” says Camille French, Mary’s aunt and currently Domisi’s caretaker.The program teams Scholastic Inc. and Volunteers of America to create a literacy program that connects incarcerated parents with their children through reading.

Words Travel helps children between visits by providing audiotapes of their mom or dad reading a book. Inmates are trained in how to read in a conversational, active way before they are taped reading their favorite story aloud. “I could tell Domisi was really proud of the book he picked out that his mom gave him,” Camille said of Domisi’s first visit through the Words Travel program two months ago.

Since 1991, the number of children with parents in prison has increased by more than 50 percent, most children being under the age of ten.Without good role models and a solid relationship with parents, children are more susceptible to engaging in risky behavior or criminal activity.Words Travel Family Connection works to break that cycle, providing a simple, meaningful way for inmates to interact with their children.This, in turn, impacts their relationship when they eventually transition back into each other’s daily lives.

“I would definitely recommend this program,”says Camille.“It’s a nice thing Mary and Domisi can do together that involves a lot of interaction. It gives their visits a focus.”And any day now, Mary French will be eligible for work release.

Charles Conston II is a volunteer who accompanies the children on their bus ride to the prison. During the bus ride, Charles prepares the children for the experience of visiting a correctional facility.“For the kids who don’t see their parents often, it’s really hard,” says Charles.“They’re really excited on the way there, but on the way back it’s a different story.”

He remembers Domisi’s first trip to visit his mom.“He was very quiet on the trip and in general, but when he saw his mom he just opened right up and talked with her.” However, not all children in the program get to see their incarcerated parent as often as Mary and Domisi see each other. For many children,Words Travel is their only opportunity to visit with an absent parent. Charles also participates in the reading workshops and helps record the audiotapes and gives them to the kids to listen at home.“Sometimes the inmates even thank me for being with the kids on the bus,” says Charles. “That really makes me feel good.”

164 children and 107 adults participated in our Words Travel program, a family attachment and literacy program for incarcerated parents and their children. Fostering Independence

The Power of Persistence

LIKE MOST OF US, individuals with developmental disabilities strive for self-reliance, community involve- ment and the freedom to make personal choices.

For the children of the Prentice family, their dream was simply to be together.

Siblings John, Richard and Julie Prentice—each with unique disabilities—were raised in separate locations appropriate for their individual needs.When the children were young, their parents, Phyllis and Terry Buckridge, had to make some tough decisions to ensure that each child’s particular needs were met.While Julie and Richard remained in Snohomish County, eventually graduating from Marysville High School’s Special Education Program, John moved to Pierce County, and later King County, to receive the specialized services he required.

Despite the distance between them, Phyllis encouraged her children’s active interest in each other’s lives. Over the years, it became a family dream to reunite the siblings. Phyllis, however, needed assistance to overcome the numerous logistical and complex emotional concerns involved in bringing them together under one roof.The first piece came together when the children’s father left them a trust, providing the financial resources to make a reunion possible.

Phyllis, who had a long-standing relationship with Volunteers of America Western Washington through its Greater Residential Options (GRO) program, began to collaborate with staff to create a family reunification plan. Together, they spent years identifying resources to make it possible for each child to live independently together.

For decades, GRO has encouraged and supported those with developmental disabilities in our region. Our staff understand that when daily challenges are met, people with disabilities can pursue their individual aspirations and fulfill their potential as members of their community.

Phyllis was relieved to finally have a professional resource to bring her family’s goals to fruition. Her determination to keep her children together fit perfectly with Volunteers of America’s goal to guide families toward independent living.The detailed planning also resulted in a state-of-the-art, handicapped-accessible home, and it was during a Thanksgiving holiday that the siblings – at long last – moved in together. Phyllis was moved to tears to watch her family enjoy that first holiday under one roof, and to know there were many more to come.

The planning didn’t stop there, however, nor did the power of giving.When she looked toward the future, Phyllis wanted a better idea of how her children would be cared for, and what might happen to the specially-equipped house. GRO helped the family look at options for giving down the road, and Phyllis independently decided to will the house to Volunteers of America Western Washington after the passing of the last Prentice child.

Phyllis now considers herself assured that each of her children will be well cared for in the home.And not only that, through the power of their family’s generosity, many more individuals with special needs will enjoy the freedoms this house provides for years to come.

Last year, Volunteers of America Western Washington supported 290 people with developmental disabilities, fostering their ability to live independently and lead enriched, supported lives. Building Community Capacity

The Power of Win-Win

TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, RANDY LYMAN, president of Randy’s Ring & Pinion, committed to Leadership Snohomish County’s seven-month, intensive program to learn about a wide array of critical issues affecting his county.“I really wasn’t aware of the needs of the community,” said Randy. “Once I became aware, I realized I had the capacity and desire to do something.”

Then Volunteers of America Western Washington moved onto his radar through his association with Barbara Earl, Volunteers of America Board Member and President of BETS Consulting. “When I toured Volunteers of America, I was extremely impressed with the number of services they offered,” Randy explained.“It’s a really well-run organization.They not only help the homeless, but they want to get to the root of homelessness.”

Barbara echoes this sentiment.“Volunteers of America is one of the most efficient, well-run organizations in the county. Not only do they provide a wide breadth of services, they do it with dignity and at a reasonable cost. Donors know their funds are well spent.”

Soon after, Randy presented Volunteers of America with the 2004 Randy’s Ring & Pinion Public Service Award, which provided vital marketing dollars to launch a full-service campaign, including television, radio, and print advertisements. Randy’s Ring & Pinion invested more than $100,000 to plan and implement the organization’s marketing goals.

What was one dedicated community member’s contribution to the organization has become a windfall of generosity; Randy’s donation was leveraged to exceed $400,000 worth of in-kind support from other businesses ranging from broadcast media to collateral design and copywriting.

But how do businesses like Randy’s Ring & Pinion benefit from such a donation? For Randy, the benefit for his business is threefold. First, the public becomes aware of the services Randy’s Ring & Pinion offers. Second, people see that Randy’s Ring & Pinion is a thriving business run by people that care about the community. And third, a company that honestly cares about its community attracts good employees who, in turn, are looking for a viable business connected with their community. Barbara agrees.“When companies and their employees are involved in the community, everyone benefits—the employee, the company and the community.”

All it takes is one person in an organization to influence the direction of its corporate philanthrophy. The Randy’s Ring & Pinion Public Service Award is a clear example of how one person can improve both his business and his local area.“Everyone we help affects the community in some small way,” said Randy.“And taken together, all contributions, no matter how small, add up to a better community.”

Volunteers of America just received the highest rating– 4 stars out of 4– from on-line independent charity evaluator CharityNavigator.org. Criteria are long-term capacity and organizational efficiency. Gilbert Saparto

The Power of Inspiration WHEN GILBERT SAPARTO RETIRED as Volunteers of America Western Washington’s President/CEO this March, the event culminated a career that spanned forty years and four locations – Tacoma,WA, San Diego, CA, Portland, OR and Everett,WA.

Yet the real story of his career is one of impact, the power of one person to make a difference, and the transformation of human service delivery in our local area. For if the path to success in corporate America is working hard and making yourself irreplaceable, the path to success in non-profit America is working even harder and making certain you are replaceable.

Motivated from Childhood Gil’s involvement with Volunteers of America dates back to his childhood in Portland, OR, where he served as a children’s choir member and Jr. Officer.These early experiences made an enormous impression, forging a life- long journey of commitment and purpose, which ultimately settled him in Everett,WA.

When Gil and his wife Janette arrived at their final Volunteers of America post in Snohomish County in 1978, the organization had 16 full-time staff, 20 part-time summer camp staff, a $350,000 budget and four human service programs in Everett including a food bank the size of a closet.

When Gil retired in 2005 (Janette in 10/03), the organization had over 400 staff, a $20 million budget and 22 major human service programs spanning an eight county area including Kitsap, Pierce, King, Snohomish, Skagit, Island, San Juan and Whatcom Counties.

It was the synergy of the two that spearheaded this growth. Gil coupled his vision, business sense and knack for reading people with Janette’s pragmatism and ability to execute vision.Together, they dreamed without bounds, cared without limits, and always held to the belief that an organization should strive to maintain the values that it attempts to encourage in others.

Shifting Service Delivery Philosophy Ingenuity, generosity and self-sufficiency became hallmarks of the organization. It took ingenuity to discover and develop creative solutions that tap the potential that existed within the many western Washington community members who were struggling yet determined to learn to survive on their own.

And it took vision to realize that Volunteers of America was not simply in the business of helping people survive, but helping individuals thrive and become self-sufficient.This thinking created a revolution of sorts – a revolution in the way that a charitable organization approaches those in need.

Under the Sapartos' leadership, the local Volunteers of America grew from a $350,000 agency with four programs to a $20 million organization operating 22 programs with over 400 employees in eight counties. This approach, which hinged on generosity and encouraged self-sufficiency, helped the organization become a leader among this community’s nonprofit organizations. Gil and his staff came to understand that the more an organization gave away - often without fanfare - the more blessings the organization would reap in the long run.

Due in large part to Gil’s insight,Volunteers of America fostered many local community-building partnerships. Gil instinctively understood that it didn’t matter whether the necessary aid was channeled directly through Volunteers of America, or through other organizations, as long as it reached those in need.This kind of forward thinking not only allowed the organization to sustain its own mission, but also allowed that mission to thrive and grow in unexpected and providential ways.

Volunteers of America Western Washington’s approach specifically became so effective that community leaders began to seek out the organization to help solve the region’s most critical human service issues.Volunteers of America responded by consistently opening its doors, its resources and its pocketbook to fill unmet needs in the community.

Inspiring Many Hands The real power of one idea, one person, one organization, is the ability to inspire many.Throughout his career with Volunteers of America, Gil had the awareness and humility to know what he was capable of accomplishing—and where he needed help. By hiring highly qualified, passionate individuals who had the right skills for the right job, Gil paved the way, creating a synergy that resulted in the development of powerful individual programs that impact a broad cross-section of human service industries.

Under Gil’s guidance the organization became adept at listening “the real power of one idea, and responding to the community’s input.And it is important to one person, one organization, note that all of this growth was not only encouraged by Gil, but funded by general fundraising dollars and built upon the commit- is the ability to inspire many.” ment and hard work of staff and volunteers.

Through its unique approach, and through Gil’s creative leadership, open mind and generous heart,Volunteers of America became a community expert by positioning itself well to address these community needs.A large part of Gil’s gift is to have left us with a set of thriving, economically viable programs that enable individuals to make positive changes in the lives of others.

Gil has shown us the “Power of One”.We are grateful for his legacy to Volunteers of America Western Washington – and the opportunity to continue to make a difference. One person—you—really can begin to change the world, by starting in your own backyard.

In 1978, the food bank operated out of a closet. Today, Volunteers of America distributes 3,000,000 pounds of food throughout Snohomish County. Our Everett Food Bank alone serves 2700 households each month. Financial Information
