Advancing The Common Good 2013-14 Report to the community
GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER.
United Way of Oxford & Lafayette County UnitedWayOxfordMS.org
Our mission: To Improve Lives and Meet Community Needs by Uniting People and Resources United Way of Oxford & Lafayette County advances the common good by mobilizing individuals, organizations, and workplaces to give, advocate, and volunteer. We focus on the building blocks of a good life: good health, quality education, and financial stability. We fund programs, convene issue-driven coalitions, and serve as a resource to individuals and organizations in our community.
Thank you! 2013-2014 was a year of both change and growth for United Way of Oxford & Lafayette County—and none of it would have been possible without tremendous support from all sectors of our community. We appreciate every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, and every new and long-time partner.
Katherine Drinkwater Assistant Director
Alice Ricks
Executive Director
In 2013-2014, we raised a record-breaking $525,492 and mobilized more than 3,000 hours of volunteer service. But what was our impact? We hope that this Report to the Community gives you insight into the achievements of United Way funded programs, and that it inspires you to both learn more and do more.*
For more than 40 years, the Lafayette-Oxford-University community has trusted United Way to invest wisely, partner effectively, and ultimately improve lives. By focusing on the building blocks of a good life—good health, quality education, and a stable income—we ensure that your donations make a meaningful difference. Ultimately, our shared goal is to make Lafayette County a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Getting there will require a reliable safety net for emergencies, as well as accessible, effective supports for individuals and families. It will also require changing community conditions to prevent as many problems as we can and to actively promote positive experiences—starting with our very youngest children. It is challenging, rewarding work. Thank you for joining us. *In many – but not all – cases, UWOLC funding complements other programmatic funding in ways that do not allow disaggregation of achievements by funding source. Therefore, many of the achievements highlighted in this Annual Report reflect the impact of a program’s total budget, including but not limited to UWOLC’s 2013-2014 investment. Also, please note that specific funding amounts for each program can be found on the UWOLC website.

UWOLC is proud to have partnered with the LOU Excel by 5 Coalition, Caterpillar, and the Oxford Park Commission in the design and installation of Lafayette County’s first Born Learning Trail. With the help of these organizations, as well as the talents of local artist Nicole Lamar and volunteers from the University of Mississippi’s Sports Law Review, we were able to construct the Trail in Avent Park in November of 2013. The Born Learning Trail promotes nature-based, interactive learning for children up to 5 years of age. Together, children and their families can use the Born Learning Trail to get exercise, have fun in a beautiful outdoor setting, and boost early literacy, math, and science skills.

tweed recording studios: biggest new gift to Uwloc
Having started a local business from the ground up, Andrew has seen the growing and thriving side of Oxford, but knows there are real needs in the community as well. That is why Andrew and Tweed Recording Studio have chosen to give back to this community, and in doing so, became this year’s largest new Local Business donor. Deciding to become a new Local Business donor was a simple choice according to Andrew, “I feel good about contributing to organizations such as United Way, because I believe they are making a good impact in our city and county…when we invest in our community it benefits everyone.”

While United Way of Oxford & Lafayette County focuses on Health, Education, and Income, Tweed Recording Studio is most interested in UWOLC’s work in early literacy, stating, “I hope we can make some big changes in this area in the coming years.” Gifts like these ensure that we will make an impact, and we are very thankful for our local businesses who help us reach these goals.
