ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Immigration Since its establishment, MAFS has and continues to provide help with the immigration and naturalization process for community members. MAFS also helps applicable members of the community in acquiring their OCI card. This year we have helped 300 members apply for citizenship and petition for OCI cards. This service is provided without any outside funding, yet we continue this service to benefit immigrant families.

Public Benefit Assistance Programs: Social Service and Outreach – Title III B – Funded by AgeOptions Metropolitan Asian Family Services is one of the leading agency in providing social services to the low-income and underserved population. The demand for these services are increasing due to the economic downturn and slow recovery of our economy. MAFS staff assists clients in accessing public benefits available to fit their individual needs. Our staff is helpful in filling out applications for these services and escorts them to the appropriate public benefit offices such as Department of Human Services or Social Security Administration, Immigration and Naturalization to submit the applications. We also translate official forms in Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Spanish and Bosnian languages to facilitate the process of applying for benefits. Our staff acts as liaisons between the client and public officials to help our community members get the help and support they may need. This year we provided assistance to about 900 people in Cook, Suburban Cook. In DuPage and Lake County we assisted over 50 people.

Nutrition Programs MAFS is in its 15th year of serving hot lunches to the senior citizen population. These lunches are nutritionally balanced but more importantly they provide an opportunity for seniors to make friends and socialize with each other. These meals are freshly prepared by trained cooks under strict hygienic conditions. We provided 33,905 hot meals community this year from our Chicago, Niles and Roselle facilities.

Educational Program Adult Literacy Grant program, funded by Jesse White, Secretary of States

Metropolitan Asian Family Services has accomplished a huge success in providing community-wide resources for South Asians population through Adult Literacy Grant program. The Grant has brought positive impact on the lives of recipients in the areas - citizenship, community participation, family and work life. The grant has also helped our elderly to become more educated and self-confident. After successfully completing 2013-2014 grant cycle, we have been awarded once again for 2014-15. Classes are offered at MAFS Chicago and Niles locations. For more information, please contact - 773-465 -3105/ 847-824-9414.

Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) The Light Heat Energy Assistance Program is designed to help low-income families pay their heat and light bills. This program is offered multiple times throughout the year which brings hundreds of people from all nationalities to the MAFS’s Chicago and Niles offices. This program is funded by CEDA. MAFS’s staff help the clients in processing their application in order for them to receive the funds from the government. This year we helped 1400 eligible families through this program.

Pink Pashmina Project A research project for breast & cervical cancer in South Asian Women Metropolitan Asian Family Services (MAFS) is a partner to the Asian Health Coalition’s Pink Pashmina Project. This is a community-based program funded by the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Chicago to provide culturally tailored health education to increase breast and cervical cancer awareness.

They offer free screenings for limited English-speaking, economically disadvantaged immigrants and refugee women from India, Pakistan and Nepal.

The main objectives of this project are - 1) To enhance community awareness of breast and cervical cancer in South Asian women through culturally and linguistically appropriate informative education. 2) To promote early detection through routine breast and cervical screening. 3) To identify and address barriers to screening and care.

Implemented in June 2012 the program has successfully increased the awareness among South Asian Muslim women and reduced cancer mortality affecting Muslims and South Asian Women in Cook County. Collaborating with Asian Health Coalition has provided MAFS the opportunity to reach more community members.

UMAS Community Care Program funded by the Department of Aging

Homecare Homecare program is the cornerstone of UMAS. Our Community Care Program is exclusively for elderly population. This program signifies our vision of helping the homebound elderly with their daily chores and making a positive impact in their lives. This year our Homecare aides served 2,650 elderly clients, which is a 1.4% increase since last year.

Impact of the Program This program has an amazing impact on the well-being on the elderly and their families. The benefit of this program is that elderly can stay in their own homes with their families instead of nursing home placements which could be a tremendous financial burden on the State and Federal government. Most of the immigrant seniors are lonely, depressed and suffering with aging complications and are culturally isolated while their family members are at work. This program offers a unique method of interaction where the seniors feel safe and integrated with society. UMAS employment and training services which have created an army of multilingual caregivers that provide excellent HCA services to the elderly population. Programs like this offer jobs to those that may face difficulty in acquiring work due to language barriers. Thereby, this program positively affects the economy by decreasing the poverty level and enabling capable persons to work.

sion and social isolation in many cases. These centers also provide an open door policy for seniors to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DROP-INâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to take part in the various services offered at the adult day services center for those who are not approved by the state. Adult Day Service programs keep seniors happy and healthy as well as mentally, physically and socially stimulated.

Future Plans This will be a period of significant changes for the agency as we are moving toward streamlining and integrating with various Health and Social Services organizations.

Last year we have been awarded new grants such as â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Healthy Lifestyle grant funded by Community Memorial Foundation; Adult Literacy grant from Illinois Secretary of State; Human Service grant from DuPage Community Foundation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation grant from Medtronic Foundation of Heart Rescue. We have accomplished a great success in execution of these grants through collaborating with Metro Family Clinic and Universal Metro Asian Services. With the success of

Adult Day Care Services This is a special program provided by Illinois Department on Aging. Adult Day Service (ADS) program was initiated in Illinois for South Asian seniors by UMAS in 1999. ADS provides an opportunity for the elderly to get involved in structured and funfilled activities. The purpose is to provide the elderly with a safe, secure and home-like environment outside of their home. This program provides breakfast, hot lunches and snacks to the participants, on-site medical monitoring by trained nurses, yoga and fitness sessions, health education and screening seminars, recreational activities and round trip transportation services from their home to the centers by experienced drivers. This program is currently available at our Chicago, Vernon Hills, Niles, Carol Stream, Naperville and Orland Park centers, and opening soon in Schaumburg.

the South Asian Healthy Lifestyle Initiative (SAHELI) project, we are once again partnering with Northwestern School of Medicine in community-engaged research project for fiscal year 2014-2015.

Impact of the Program

As always, my sincere thanks goes to the Board members, staff, friends and supporters for their hard work and dedication and for their continued commitment in following our principles and mission.

This promotes a healthy lifestyle and allows the seniors to socialize with same-age seniors in a home-like environment. In 2014 we served 252 individuals through our multiple locations, which is an increase of 5.4% from the previous year. This program also offers opportunities for physical and mental health wellbeing. It promotes new friendships and reduces depres-

Our future plan is to reach out to the targeted ethnic community in new area of the Western and South suburbs.

Our next goal is a good governance by strategic planning and by streamlining our operation through automation system, we will ensure that all significant proposals/grants are executed expeditiously and efficiently. We are planning to start corporate office in Schaumburg by this year. In addition, forthcoming years we will see that our recently opened centers in far suburban areas will continue our legacy of serving and caring with love and compassion.

We will increase our base of resource to undertake new programs and develop them with sustainable funding resources to support our operational costs in the future.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE GRANT The Healthy Lifestyle Grant funded by The Community Memorial Foundation (CMF) was set in motion by Metropolitan Asian Family Services (MAFS) with the support of Metropolitan Family Clinic (MFC) and Universal Metropolitan Asian Services (UMAS). The goal of this joint venture was to implement a positive change in the lifestyle of the South Asian community by increasing awareness and ultimately lowering high blood pressure, controlling diabetes mellitus type II and eradicating obesity. The target population was South Asians and Eastern Europeans who either work or reside within the Southwestern and Western Suburbs of Chicago set forth in the grant provided by CMF.

The project began in January 2014, with the motto New Year, Healthier You. Followed by a series of workshops developed by MAFS along with the expertise of Dr. Manohar Jethani, Dr. Manjusri Majumdar, Dr. Humera Khan and Dr. Paula Patel from Metropolitan Family Clinic (MFC). Through these sessions the MAFS/MFC/UMAS team emphasized and increasing awareness about hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus type II and obesity. Including how the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet can lower blood pressure, glucose and decrease weight.

The study compromised screening tests for blood pressure, glucose, HbA1c and BMI. These sessions also included teaching material, presentations and contests to facilitate group learning and interactive fun during their transition into a healthier lifestyle. On

June 14, 2014, MAFS along with MFC hosted its final session at 1032 E. Ogden in Naperville, Illinois.

This workshopâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re-screenedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; each participant to collect data which is to be analyzed to detect changes in blood pressure, sugar/HbA1c levels, and BMI. Participants were elated to see their levels change due to simple healthier lifestyle adjustments like alternative eating and increasing activity levels through routine exercise. There were many participants who personally thanked Mrs. Santosh Kumar for providing such a great program and teaching them how to live a healthier lifestyle.

MAFS, MFC and UMAS are really impressed with the participation of our people and we look forward to working with them, in future projects.

MAFS, MFC and UMAS would like to personally thank The Community Memorial Foundation for providing MAFS this amazing opportunity to really help the community. We would also like to thank all of the employees who volunteered their time and energy especially the UMAS staff of the Naperville office and Karla Guajardo from MFC, Naperville.

‘Universal Metro Services’ is like … Shri Krishna lifted up ‘Goverdhan’ mountain. This center has brought tremendous joy in the lives elderly from various places. Oh, my God it is overwhelming! We play different games like children, we walk on a treadmill and a bicycle in the center to keep ourselves healthy, we do Yog, sing devotional songs and tell jokes which in turn, beautifies our personality. We go to the temples, we go on a picnic and we go to a casino, what a life! We find a doctor and a nurse next to us when we have health problems. We are informed about the knowledge of the world as we to use computers. Oh! What is this! Joy beyond words. Joy….Joy….Joy.

Shantaben Bodiwala April 5, 1928 - August 14, 2014

Mariyam Awal February 14, 2014 - January 24, 2014

Mrs. Shantaben Patel believed in simple living and high thinking. Her moral values of honesty, sincerity and ethics were great for her family and friends. She has been a mentor for her four generations keeping the family together. Umas took pride in taking care for this special lady for the last fifteen years which added happiness and a peace of mind to the Bodiwala family. According to her this service was a God sent for her. We will miss a great soul.

Ms. Mariyam Awal was our Homecare and ADS participant more than fifteen years. She was lively, active, and woman of great knowledge of English language and Bible studies. Her family is thankful to UMAS for providing such a great service in her acute stage of Dementia. She always played a big role by arranging Carol group and arranging for a priest during Christmas time. Our seniors will miss her dearly.
