Benefits of Volunteering & Getting Connected There is a growing body of research and evidence that shows that volunteering not only helps us socially, but there are many direct health benefits to getting involved! People who volunteer have greater longevity, higher functional ability and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer. When comparing health benefits of volunteering for different age groups,
research shows that the older volunteer is more likely to derive direct health benefits from volunteering because it provides them with physical and mental activity, as well as a sense of purpose, often during transitional periods in life. Research also suggests that volunteers who engage in volunteerism earlier in life are less likely to suffer poor health later on
and are introduced to a positive, long-lasting cycle of better health and future volunteerism. As individual’s age, volunteering can combat isolation and help strengthen the social times that lead to greater selfworth and trust. It is even suggested that in states where volunteerism is high, there are lower rates of mortality and less incidence of heart disease. For many people, volunteering
is a way of life. Making a difference in one’s community or in another person’s life is hard to beat. Now, volunteering can take on a new meaning for you- boosting your personal health while helping othersnow that is a win-win.

Debunking The Myths: Facts About Your United Way Myth #1: My donation does not stay in my local community. United Way is one of the most local of all national charities in terms of its governing body and operations. The majority of campaign donations are raised in Nash & Edgecombe Counties. Therefore, donations are only invested in programs that serve the twin-county region, unless the donor chooses to “designate” outside of the area.
this practice, and it has been perpetuated through social media. This myth is absolutely false. Our local United Way realizes that our greatest resources are relationships and mutual trust that we have with community members. We do provide you with the opportunity to help others in our community through United Way; however, the ultimate choice and decision is up to each individual.
Myth #2: Too much of my donation is used for overhead and not enough gets to the charitable causes that I want to support. The fact is $84.3 cents of every dollar raised goes directly back into OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. These facts are confirmed by an independent auditor during our annual audit. Each year, we are able to maintain this low overhead due to agency efficiency and tremendous volunteer support. Thanks to the thousands of hours of service given by hard-working volunteers, in 2017, the value of volunteer service to our United Way and community was estimated at over $100,000.
Myth #4: I should ONLY give to a specific agency, not United Way. An investment to the United Way will assure the availability of an entire network of human services. For example, a homeless family needs food, clothing, and shelter. But, what if the family also needs job training, daycare, and counseling to live independently? No one agency can meet all the needs of this family. United Way makes sure all these services are available, from the temporary bed to the long-term solution. With one single donation, you can positively impact a number of people and community needs.
Myth #3: There is pressure for people to give to United Way. Many years ago, companies did apply pressure to give to United Way, and though rooted in good intentions, it caused some people to feel pressure to give to United Way. Some people assumed that United Way encouraged
Myth #5: I don’t have a lot to give. Therefore, I cannot make an impact. YES you can! No matter how much you choose to invest, you will be helping to improve the lives of families in Nash & Edgecombe Counties. Your investment is joined by many others to support a network of
programs and partnerships that produces positive outcomes. Myth #6: United Way supports Planned Parenthood and other similar programs & services. Each United Way is independent and funds programs that meet needs within local communities. Our local United Way does not support any of these programs. A listing of our funded agencies & programs is on our website (www.unitedwaytrr.org) and is also available upon request. Myth #7: United Way misuses my donation, and it does not go to help people in our community. Over 25 years ago, a national United Way leader named William Aramony misused national United Way funds. This situation was separate from our local United Way, but the history around it still affects us locally. Within United Way Tar River Region, we have many checks and balances and take great pride in accountability to our donors through yearly audits, volunteer grant reviews and excellent governance from our Board of Directors. Each year, all the United Way Board Members and Staff proudly make donations to support the United Way Community Campaign-we believe strongly in the collective effort of us all. The overhead rate for our United Way at 15.7% which is well under half the accepted rate through the Better Business Bureau accepted rate for nonprofits in the United States.

Assoc. for Learning Disabled & Handicapped ALDH – Association for Learning Disabled and Handicapped – Improving the Quality of Life and Advocacy Education of our community special needs population. ALDH was formed in 1978 by a group of parents trying to improve the education for their children. Our Goal is the Early Detection of learning disabilities followed by the appropriate education, which helps reduce the school dropout rate. We advise and support families of the learning disabled and handicapped which we now refer to as exceptional. GRADUATION IS OUR GOAL! SUMMER SCHOOL Our summer school is a three week program which is held each summer during July. The classes are taught by certified exceptional teachers with a ratio of 4-6 students per teacher. Innovative as well as proven teaching methods are employed and each student has a lesson
plan developed to meet his or her needs. Evaluations from educators and parents have reflected positive results and students return every year. TUTORING PROGRAM Our tutoring program tutors exceptional students towards success. This program began in January of 1993. With extra help many of these exceptional students will be able to meet the requirements to receive their diploma. Our goal is to reduce the dropout rate among exceptional students. COMMUNITY ADVOCACY The Community Education Advocacy program advocates for children and adults with other agencies and school systems. We work with parents to understand their student’s needs and keep them abreast of the latest information regarding teaching methods and how they can work with the school systems. We are also a referral service

American Red Cross of Northeastern NC
Red Cross stands alongside Nash and Edgecombe families in times of need Each year across the country, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters, the vast majority of which are home fires. That proves no different in Eastern North Carolina. In Nash and Edgecombe Counties during the last fiscal year (July 2016June 2017), the Red Cross responded to disasters and helped 98 families following disasters like home fires. The Red Cross also provided 643 shelter nights who were left with nowhere to turn. This work was made possible because of donations made to United Way. “The residents of Nash and Edgecombe counties are our family and it’s our job to be there for them when life is at its hardest,” said Cally Edwards, Red Cross executive director in Rocky Mount. “United Way funds help the Red Cross educate the community about disaster preparedness and respond to disasters like home fires that occur daily.” The Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of
disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches lifesaving skills like CPR; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members, veterans and their families. In addition to disaster response, the Red Cross in Nash and Edgecombe counties collected 5,347 blood donations, and handled 263 emergency services for military members and veterans in the area. Nash and Edgecombe county volunteers, blood drive sponsors, and United Way are critical in the delivery of these essential community services. With so many home fires in the twin

counties, the Red Cross is always looking for volunteers who are able to assist families and help prepare for larger disasters. Home fires may not make news like a hurricane, but the effects of these disasters are very significant to families. Oftentimes, they’ve lost everything they own in a matter of minutes. The Red
Cross volunteers are on the scene with firefighters and responders to assist families with their immediate needs and recovery. To learn more about Red Cross volunteer and blood drive opportunities, visit www. redcross.org/enc or contact the Rocky Mount Red Cross office at 252-977-1720.
East Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America: Scouts Do Things that Matter The Boy Scouts of America and East Carolina Council work to build leadership, character, citizenship, and personal fitness in today’s youth through fun and exciting activities. Over twelve hundred youth participate in weekly meetings throughout Nash and Edgecombe Counties. Boys in grades kindergarten through fifth participate in the Cub Scouts program, while boys who are 11-18 years old participate in the Boy Scouts. Boy and Girls ages 14-21 participate in Venturing; a high adventure program for boys and girls that teaches outdoor leadership skills all while enjoying the outdoors. Examples of weekly scout activities include: team building games, exploring the world, cooking, arts and crafts, fun problem solving activities, and much more. As scouts get older the activities become more challenging and even more fun. Scouts can participate in camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, scuba
diving, rifle shooting, shotgun shooting, archery, whitewater rafting, sailing, rock climbing, skiing, and just about any fun outdoor activity. Scouting also allows boys to learn more about potential career fields through its merit badge and awards programs. With more than 100 merit badges from Game Design to Life Saving, Scouts have a plethora of options to learn about. Scouts can also participate in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) awards program where they can explore the basic principles of STEM and discover how fun and fascinating STEM can be. In fact, participation in the Boys Scouts has proven to help with education and family relationships. A recent survey of Nash and Edgecombe Scouting families revealed that: • 94% of parents believe that Scouting has made their family a stronger unit. • 91% of Scouts score average or above
average on EOG testing. • 98% of Scout parents feel like their son is getting positive attention from caring adults within the Scouting Program who add value to his life. Scouts do things that matter. If there is a boy in your life that you would like
to participate in Scouting, then you can go to BeAScout.org to see where all the different packs and troops meet in your area. You can also contact Benjamin Horne 252-903-1776 or at benjamin.horne@ scouting.org for more information.

Down East Partnership for Children Change the Life of a Child and You Change the Future of a Community This year, DEPC is celebrating its 25th year of services to Nash and Edgecombe counties. Our mission is to launch every child as a healthy, lifelong learner by the end of the third grade. That means starting early and ensuring these four pillars of early education are met: children are healthy and their development is on track before birth; children are in the highest quality care possible; families are engaged and communities are coordinated; and effective teaching and learning for K-3 students occurs inside and out, 365 days a year. The single greatest predictor of future academic and career success is reading on grade level by the end of the third grade. DEPC supports the Twin Counties Read to Rise coalition, created to support strategies beginning at birth that put children on a pathway to grade-level reading by the end of third grade. There are lots of volunteer opportunities at DEPC throughout the year. Volunteer at an event (golf tournament, Party in the Park, Week of the Young Child). Help clean a park or a community garden. Host a parent workshop, read to children, support a
summer learning site next year, lead a play group or provide snacks or dinner to one of our parent support groups.

These girls participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like
earning badges, exploring science, getting outdoors, managing cookies sales, and doing community service projects. Community Outreach Program This program is delivered through six to eight sessions focused on topics such as nutrition, self-esteem, healthy relationships, financial literacy, and STEM. We partner with local organizations to offer programming at sites where girls naturally live, learn and play. Our partnerships in Tar River include: Benvenue Elementary, City of Rocky Mount Englewood Elementary, Martin Millennium Academy, Boys & Girls Clubs, Princeville Elementary, Rocky Mount Boys and Girls Clubs, Stocks Elementary, and the YMCA. Girl Scout Success Story Believing that everyone should have healthier eating options, Grace from Rocky Mount sought out ways to help provide low income families with access to free produce for her Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. With healthier foods often being more expensive, she collaborated with
Down East Partnership for Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of young families, to educate families on healthy eating. She then worked with those families to create a community garden at Discovery Park. Grace designed the garden for kids to explore healthy foods
and named it the Pick, Taste, and Learn Garden. Because of her work, these families can make healthy meals without paying the high cost. For more information, please contact: Jennifer Bland, Membership Director. jbland@nccoastalpines.org, 252-883-5632

The REACH Center
The REACH (Responsive Empowerment Assistance to Cooperating Households) Center exists to provide empowerment tools to individuals and families, equipping them to thrive in every area of life. We believe in a holistic development model which focuses on critical areas of life development. These include education, employment, financial, health, housing, mental health, recreation, relationships, spirituality, transportation, addictions, legal, and community service. Our comprehensive intake process, MPOWR, is fully automated and allows us the capabilities to provide electronic agency referrals, track services, data collection, and reporting. Our intake process assists us in developing out programs and services around effective parenting, alleviating poverty, workforce preparedness, health and wellness, education, and domestic violence and human trafficking preventing. Our intake process was also instrumental in helping to identify unmet needs and provide case management services to approximately 795 families following hurricane Matthew in 2016. Most individuals first come to The REACH Center for financial assistance with their rent, utilities, prescription medications, and food. Rent and utility
assistance remains the largest area of need with the individuals we serve. In 2017, REACH provided rent and utility assistance benefiting more than 700 individuals, many in which lived at or below the Federal Poverty Line. The majority of those served throughout our various programs are unemployed and live in low income communities. Our services are available to individuals throughout the region and other states as well. While financial assistance is our flagship program, we also assist with employment referrals/placement, signing up for benefits (Medicaid, SNAP, NC MedAssist), mentoring/coaching. We also offer various volunteer opportunities: receptionist, intake counselors, small group facilitators, mentors/coaches, health coaches, and more. For more information about The REACH Center, please give us a call at 252-937-2942 or email us at reachcenter@wordtab.net.

Meals on Wheels of Rocky Mount Each weekday morning, volunteers from Meals on Wheels of Rocky Mount gather at First Presbyterian Church to pick up and deliver a hot meal to 120 local senior citizens in Rocky Mount. The meals are nutritionally balanced to provide the essential vitamins and protein that a senior needs. However, ask any recipient or volunteer and they will tell you that Meals on Wheels is delivering more than just a hot meal, we are bringing a friendly visit. Meals on Wheels provides a hot nutritious meal and socialization to homebound senior citizens. Along with our daily hot meals, we bring a smile and friendly conversation to a homebound senior who needs it. In fact, that socialization is as important if not more important in most cases than the nutritional meal we bring. Socialization to a homebound
senior citizen is uplifting and a welcome change from their daily routine. In some cases, the Meals on Wheels volunteer will be the only person that senior sees all day. To a homebound senior, a friendly face and smile provide much needed human contact each day. The effect that this human contact has on a senior is easy to see and it makes a volunteer feel good to know that you have made a visible difference in that senior’s day. Last year, Meals on Wheels delivered 35,627 meals. We currently have 12 delivery routes that go out every Monday-Friday between 10:00-11:30am. Each route has an average of 10-12 clients on it. Meals on Wheels is developing 2 more delivery routes which will allow us to serve 20-24 more seniors a day. The new routes are scheduled to begin in late February of 2019. We need more volunteers to help

deliver these new routes. It usually takes about one hour to deliver a route. So please consider volunteering your time with Meals on Wheels.
If you have an hour to help volunteer and bring a smile to a homebound senior, please give us a call at 252446-4336 or sign up on our website at www.mowrmt.org.
Meals on Wheels of Tarboro For more than 30 years, Meals on Wheels of Tarboro has been serving our community. Every month over 300 volunteers deliver an average of 600 hot, nutritious meals to elderly home bound citizens in Tarboro, Princeville, and Pinetops. Meals are prepared at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital and if needed, meet special dietary requirements as prescribed by the client’s physician. Volunteers, some of whom have been delivering meals since the organization’s founding in 1983, are drawn from Howard Memorial Presbyterian Church, First Baptist Church, St. James United Methodist Church, Calvary Episcopal Church, Macedonia Baptist Church, and Rock Church. All members of the Board of Meals on Wheels deliver as well. Recipients pay for their meals according to their incomes. Meals on Wheels makes up the difference for those whose incomes cannot bear the full $3.00 cost of each meal. It is the money that supplements
these lower income participants which Meals on Wheels must seek through fund-raising efforts each year. Meals on Wheels receives no state or federal funding. Contributions from United Way, civic clubs, local churches, businesses, memorials and private donations have supported our services in the past, with United Way being a favorable donator. Many of those clients are, in fact, your friends and neighbors. Many of them have worked hard their entire lives but find that in retirement and old age, they require assistance. A warm meal delivered to their doorsteps is, as many of them have assured us, an answer to a prayer. To be eligible for the service, an applicant must live within the city limits of Tarboro, Princeville, or Pinetops. He/she must be 60 years or older, unable to drive, live alone, or with someone who is incapable of preparing meals. Please call our Director, Barbara
Barnes at 252-823-8411 if you have questions or know of someone who might benefit from our services. Donations may be made to: Meals on Wheels, P O Box 1694, Tarboro, NC 27886

Princeville Senior Citizens Center Princeville Senior Center works to serve the elderly population hot, tasty and nutritious meals and to provide a safe environment that is conducive to all senior citizens. The Center invites individuals that are 60 years and over to come and be part of a diverse and interesting group of people. Participants enjoy crafts, games and exercise classes. They can also take computer and math classes, as well as, take trips to local programs and restaurants. There is also a shuttle service to & from the Center. The Princev-
ille Senior Center does a great job engaging local seniors in meaningful activities, while providing a safe and supportive atmosphere, where healthy eating and living is encouraged. Mental and physical engagement is very important for individuals especially for senior citizens. After a person retires, sometimes he or she looks for activities to do and people with whom to socialize. As a person ages, they may experience health challenges and other changes that makes it more difficult to stay ac-
tive and involved in the community or with other people. Princeville Senior Center does a great job in providing a fun place that senior citizens can enjoy by helping engage the mind and body in fun activities, crafts, meals and other programs. By doing this, senior citizens remain active and happy to be connected to other seniors. To learn more about the Princeville Senior Center, call Linda Worsley at (252) 366-2234.

The Salvation Army: Doing the Most Good The Salvation Army began in 1865 when William Booth, a London minister, gave up the comfort of his pulpit and decided to take his message into the streets where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute. His original aim was to send converts to established churches of the day, but soon he realized that the poor did not feel comfortable or welcome in the pews of most of the churches and chapels of Victorian England. Regular churchgoers were appalled when these shabbily dressed, unwashed people came to join them in worship. Booth decided to found a church especially for them Now, across the world, this organization provides support and
comfort to millions of individuals. Locally, The Salvation Army works in both Nash and Edgecombe Counties each day to ensure that individual and families’ basic needs are met. Whether it is through their Emergency Family Services programs, such as Utility, Rent and Mortgage Assistance or their Food and Clothing Assistance, The Salvation Army is there. Whether it is through a Community Program, such as their Thanksgiving Food Baskets or their Christmas Assistance, The Salvation Army is there. Whether it is supporting youth through Summer Day Camp or Youth Mentoring Programs, or Seniors through their weekly Exercise and Fellowship Class, The Salvation Army is there. Many people know The Salvation Army in our community also
through their Thrift Stores and the Red Kettle Program. Anywhere you turn, The Salvation Army is there “Doing the Most Good”. Locally, the United Way supports important programs such as their Emergency Social Services Program that ensures individuals who need rent, mortgage or utility support can receive help. The Salvation Army meets with the individual to learn about their budget, income and financial constraints, to work with the person on short and longer term goals for financial stability. Also funded by United Way is a Seniors Program that meets weekly to promote good health, engagement and physical activity, to encourage longevity and engagement for senior citizens in the Rocky Mount area.
Volunteers are always needed with The Salvation Army to help with the Red Kettle Program, the Angel Tree Program, their other holiday programs and of course, other yearly activities. To learn more about The Salvation Army, visit www.salvationarmycarolinas. org/rockymount or call (252) 446-4496.
Nash County Special Olympics In 1968, Eunice Kennedy Shriver had the vision to begin Special Olympics, and it is easy to see her impact locally and around the United States. Her legacy is evident right here in our community through the Nash County Special Olympics. Each year, hundreds of people support Special Olympics in our community. Athletes, coaches, parents, guardians, family, friends and volunteers come together to honor and showcase wonderful
and unique abilities of our Special Olympians. Through Special Olympics, our athletes are able to focus their time, energy and abilities in areas that they love. Coaches are able to foster the athletes by helping bring out their unique talents, while fostering friendships, self-esteem and teamwork. Special Olympics also helps encourage the breaking down of any stereotypes that might exist in our community. It encourages us to remember and focus that all people
16 | United Way Tar River Region | 2018-19 Community Campaign
should have the same opportunities and deserve respect and honor for being valuable and contributing members to our community and society at large. The motto of Special Olympics: LET ME WIN… BUT IF I CANNOT WIN, LET ME BE BRAVE IN THE ATTEMPT. For more information, contact Brian Harrell, local Special Olympics Coordinator, at (252) 972-1135.
Tarboro Community Outreach Stories are heard and laughter is shared at 701 Cedar Lane, Tarboro. On any given day, people of all walks of life, gather in front of Tarboro Community Outreach awaiting the distribution of food. Racks and carts are filled with gently used clothing on the parking lot. Both young and old of all races, come together in harmony in search of their “hidden treasures”. These might be used clothes, shoes, household items or furniture----all for a dime! At 12:15pm Monday -Saturday street ministry begins. Women and men have assigned numbers. The elderly, 60 and older, receive preferential options. Chairs make the process of waiting comfortable. As the food give away is prepared for distribution a blue cart and an empty box is provided. Each individual, at no cost, has the opportunity to view, shop, and take home their choices of various fresh, canned or bagged items. People drive away with happy hearts. The
shelter residents make this all possible by applying energy and time to the process. Volunteers, under the guidance of “Chef Johnnie Speight”, prepare homemade delicious meals each weekday served from 10:30-12! “No one should go hungry” as numerous take-out trays are seen as clients make their way home. Everyone thanks donors and others who make this food supply possible. Twenty homeless men call TCO their temporary “home”. Seven homeless women call an alternative housing unit their residence. Both facilities provide basic needs and in return they volunteer their creative ideas and time to the programs. This nurtures success, dignity and self-awareness. Morning prayer begins the work day and a positive reflection about daily living is shared at seven each morning. Sister Mary Ann Czaja, Executive Director, uses
this opportunity to create unity, responsibility and self-respect for each other and all those who receive assistance.
Care and compassion are our motivation! Call 252-823-8801 for more information.
Tri-County Industries - Investing in People’s Abilities Tri-County Industries (TCI) is a unique blend of private enterprise, government funding and local volunteers working together since 1966 to provide vocational services for persons with disabilities and/or disadvantages. Our philosophy of rehabilitation is to help people develop a strong work discipline and a sense of self-worth while obtaining hands-on job experience in a realistic work environment. Our success is due to a volunteer board of directors who guide our over $4 million annual budget; trainees who produce quality products and services; dedicated staff members who are committed to enhancing the lives of our trainees; and the willingness of the business community to provide TCI trainees the opportunity to exhibit their ability to become dedicated, trusted, dependable employees.

Volunteers Offering Independent Care for the Elderly (VOICE) VOICE (Volunteers Offering Independent Care for the Elderly) is an Edgecombe County organization that provides rides for senior citizens to doctor’s appointments, the bank, the grocery store and other needed trips. VOICE clients must be 60 years old or older, be ambulatory and live in Edgecombe County. VOICE began in 1984 when the Community Medicine Foundation (a local nonprofit organization) received a grant under a Rural Health Initiative. A survey was conducted to determine the needs of senior citizens in the county and the goals and objectives of VOICE were established. Funding is provided in part by United Way Tar River Region, Home and Community Care Block Grant for Older Adults, Edgecombe Community Foundation and local businesses and individuals. Volunteers come from all walks of life including professionals, business people and retirees. Most volunteers are in fact senior citizens themselves who are able to drive and excited to offer their services to the community where they live. Volunteers provide VOICE with information relative to their driving status and insurance as well as their availability to transport clients to their appointments or other
functions. Clients call the VOICE office and provide information to VOICE staff as to when and where they need to go and the VOICE staff schedules an available volunteer. Every effort is made to meet the needs of the clients. Funding covers mileage reimbursement as well as salaries of the staff and other administrative expenses. The aging population of Edgecombe County continues to increase therefore the need for services provided by VOICE also grows. There is currently a client waiting list. As funding and volunteers become available additional clients can be moved to the active client list. VOICE is currently housed in the Edgecombe County Health Department building at the corner of St. James and St. Andrew streets in downtown Tarboro. For more information on being a volunteer, a client or helping with funding please contact: Brenda Honeycutt (Coordinator) 252-641-7529.

The Wright’s Center, Inc. The Right Place with the Right Care for Serving Your Loved Ones In the later years of life, many families face challenges that lead to increased risk for fall related injuries and medication management errors for aging loved ones. The loss of a spouse, friends, and other loved ones tend to increase isolation and decreased physical capacity for older adults who may need help coping with these difficulties. Depression can lead to physical illness, emergency room visits and hospital stays. The Wright’s Center is the right place with the right care for serving you and your loved ones! Our facility provides a supervised program of activities in a safe, nurturing environment designed to meet the physical, psychosocial, or mental health needs of adults who require assistance and supervision during the day. Our program provides a nutritious breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, and transportation is provided to those in need at a minimal cost. The Wright’s Center is rewarding to adults who are stroke victims, suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia related disorders, or other chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hearing loss, and glaucoma. Adult day services provide

a great alternative for veterans too! All health services are provided under the supervision of a licensed nurse and other licensed and certified health care professionals. Our program enables your loved ones the opportunity to maintain or restore optimum levels of functioning while still living at home in the community with family and friends for as long as possible. Additionally, the Center provides assistance with personal care and activities of daily living, and reduces social isolation and loneliness for all participants.
