365 Days of Giving Help & Hope

Catholic Charities Maine annual report 2017 “When we give cheerfully Our Mission: and receive gratefully, To empower and everyone is blessed.” strengthen individuals — Maya Angelou and families of all faiths, by providing innovative, community-based social services throughout Maine. Here’s to those who gave to Catholic Charities Maine in 2017 — to those who shared their resources to keep our programs and services operating, and to those who gave of themselves, with their time, their treasures, and their talents.

We cannot fulfill our mission without you — your capacity to care, to respond with compassion, and give of yourselves unconditionally. Thanks to your support, working through our communities and parishes, we can continue to serve the poor, protect the vulnerable, and welcome the stranger.

In this annual report we celebrate the impact of your good works, and spotlight some of the creative, thoughtful ways our volunteers and donors were able to give:

— a parish refitting bicycles for newly-arrived refugees to give them freedom and independence — a therapist donating dolls to give seniors companionship and love — a volunteer sharing a love of reading to give kids a brighter start in life — corporate sponsors improving their communities with gifts of money and volunteers

We recognize with gratitude the many donors who have invested in Catholic Charities Maine. Your generosity inspires us. Ring! Ring! A great idea Donations of adult helmets, locks, or lights, as well as gently used bikes, GIVES are welcome! neighbors a lift

At All Saints Parish, a group of seven Roman Catholic churches in midcoast Maine, they have a motto: “We believe and we share.” So when Catholic Charities put out the word that it was seeking donations of gently used bicycles for our Refugee and Immigration Services (RIS) program, All Saints promptly answered the bell.

“It was awesome,” says Hannah DeAngelis, program director of RIS. “Our contact, Arnie Besier, called and said, ‘We have 34 bikes on our lawn!’”

The idea for the bike drive came to VISTA volunteer Dana Dotson after working a few months at RIS. “We’re always struggling with the problem of transportation for our clients,” says Hannah. “There are a lot of needs people have when they come here, and self-sufficiency is the most immediate. I think a bike is a really smart part of that … helping people to be able to move around the city on their own terms.”

With the help of Portland Gear Hub, a local non-profit, the bikes are being refitted and presented to grateful clients. In addition to the bicycles, Catholic Charities provides helmets, locks, and lights, as well as a safety program focusing on state bicycle laws and rules for sharing the road with cars, and Dana has even biked with some clients to work to make sure they arrive safely.

Helping put refugees on the road to self-sufficiency is a big challenge — butwith problem solvers like Dana and the sharing hearts of parishes like All Saints, there are no obstacles we cannot overcome. A GIFT brings new life to lonely hearts

When psychiatrist Ames Curtis first created her Dear Aunt Polly dolls, back in 1985, she had no idea the gift they would one day prove to be for lonely seniors. Her donation of more than 900 dolls to Catholic Charities’ Independent Support Services (ISS) and SEARCH programs have helped change the lives of elderly Mainers living alone and in nursing home and healthcare facilities around Maine. Have a special gift or collection you’d like “It’s beautiful to see,” says Judy Peace, assistant supervisor of ISS. “These elderly folks, they have somebody to love again. The dolls to donate? Most of our remind them of their grandparents or their peers. They began to programs have “Wish reminisce and tell stories.” Our homemakers and volunteers have seen Lists” — your gift the folks in their care move from confusion and isolation and begin to regain their socialization skills and interest in living. For men, finding could be the answer to themselves alone for the first time in decades after their wives have someone’s prayers! passed away, the dolls give them “someone to talk to and sit with during meals.”

“I was hoping they would go to a lot of people who are aging … who are lonely,” says Curtis, “because I think they really can become like companions.” With the gift of her dolls, she has given lonely seniors a whole new lease on life. A retired teacher GIVES her Corporate GIVING time to share a love of reading provides healthy returns

They say “once a teacher, always a teacher.” That’s certainly true for Wendy Warnecke, who left the suburban “Well, we don’t take on or let go of anything easily,” says Aroostook Savings & Loan elementary schools of New York City for retirement in Maine eight years ago, but couldn’t leave behind her love President John Swanberg when asked about the company’s 15 years and counting of teaching. commitment to the Feed the County initiative with our Food Banks in Aroostook County.

In 2017 more than 23,000 individuals were served by the program.

“We’ve built such great relationships in the community and it’s a wonderful feeling to see someone who’s been helped in the past come back and now be able to donate or volunteer. We’re just thankful to be a part of it all,” adds Keaton.
