UNITED WAY COMMUNITY REPORT 2010

Message from the President & CEO 

Tom Behan, 

President 

Lynda Kay, 

CEO 

I have had the honour for the past five years to be 

involved with United Way in many capacities, as 

a Director, Campaign Chair and Board President. 

When I first became involved, I knew about the 

United Way, but I wasn’t aware of the widespread 

support the organization provided to our community. 

I have had my eyes opened over the years as I 

have seen firsthand the dedication and support the 

volunteers, member agencies, and staff provide to 

ensure important programs and services are available 

throughout the county. 

Lynda and I ask you to read through this year’s 

Annual Report. There are testimonials from our 

member agencies and their clients, and United Way 

grant recipients. As an organization that is funded 

through the generosity of the community, we believe 

it is important to be both transparent and accountable. 

Our Campaign target in 2010 was to raise $900,000+. 

Under the leadership of Paul Racine, Campaign 

Chair, this goal was met and exceeded. This is an 

amazing accomplishment and we thank Paul and 

the community for their generosity. Our “plus” was 

a bequest of $123,000 from Mr. Edwin Harper. This 

bequest was the largest gift that the United Way has 

ever received. We are honoured to be a recipient of 

Mr. Harper’s Estate, and the Board will ensure the 

funds are invested and utilized to support initiatives 

in the community. 

This past year, we moved our offices and the Food 4 

All Warehouse to 600 William Street. We are thankful 

to Northumberland County for their support in 

our move and for the ongoing funding of the Food 

4 All Warehouse. Their support is crucial to its sustainability. 

Our funding partners also include the 

Ontario Trillium Foundation, who funded a new lift 

truck for the warehouse, and continued to support 

a Volunteer Coordinator for county wide breakfast 

programs through a grant to the Food for Thought 

committee; the Province of Ontario for their support 

of 211; and the Government of Canada for the 

Homelessness Partnership Initiative grant 

that brought together a new partnership between 

the Greenwood Coalition and United Way. 

There are many other initiatives in which United 

Way takes part, including the Northumberland 

Youth Advisory Council, Northumberland Poverty 

Reduction, and Northumberland Children’s Services 

Committee to name a few. The dedication 

and collaboration that is happening throughout the 

County is amazing. 

This coming year, the Board of the United Way will 

undertake a Strategic Plan to aid in setting our direction 

for the next three years. The sharing of resources 

and increased collaboration are all areas that will 

be investigated in order to ensure our viability and 

sustainability for the future. 

As we close, Lynda and I would like to thank our 

volunteers: the Board of Directors, our Campaign 

team, the many community members on our committees, 

and the hundreds of volunteers who give 

their time to support initiatives that we fund in the 

community. 

Our campaign slogan says it all: 

“United we can.” In 2010…United we did! 

Our Mission 

To improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.

A Generous Gift, With Huge Impact 

In 2010 the United Way was a recipient of a very generous 

bequest from the estate of Mr. Edwin Harper. Mr. Harper was 

born on the family farm located in Camborne. He grew up working 

and loving the land and the community that surrounded it. 

He worked the land until his early fifties when he retired from 

farming and began spending his winters in Florida. Mr. Harper, 

although enjoying his winter vacations, always looked forward 

to returning back to Canada and the community in which he was born. 

He passed away in 2007. In his Will he left a legacy to the community by generously 

donating over $123,000 to the United Way. These funds will be utilized 

to support health and social services in Northumberland County. Have 

you ever thought about taking action today to ensure the well being of others 

tomorrow? Making a gift to Northumberland United Way in your Will allows 

you to make a lasting commitment to your community and has the potential to 

impact others for years to come. 

If you would like more information leaving United Way in your Will please 

contact us at 905-372-6955. 

Northumberland YMCA: 

“My motivation has changed 

from wanting to be thinner to 

wanting to be healthier. I have taken 

the time to honestly look at why I was 

overeating and not taking care of 

myself. Both of these will allow for a 

long-term solution 

for staying healthy and fit.”

was in jeopardy of ending this current school year due to funding 

constraints. Sincere thanks to the Northumberland United Way for 

helping Rebound continue to provide this important supportive

that the success of children and youth is a priority.”

Back Pack Program Continues to Grow! 

Over 1,500 back packs were purchased and stuffed with pens, pencils, paper, 

binders, and a wide variety of other school supplies, and were then distributed 

throughout the County to students in need. The provision of these school 

essentials is supported by a consortium of Community Partners including 

Ganaraska Financial Services Group, Staples Business Depot, Northumberland 

County, Cameco Corporation, Cobourg Rotary and Northumberland Sunrise 

Rotary, Northumberland Food 4 All, Cobourg Police Services, Cobourg Lion’s 

Club, the Carpenters’ Union and Northumberland United Way. 

Dial 211 … Help Starts Here! 

Finding information is now a little easier since the launch in 

Northumberland of 211 in May 2009. 

211 is a free 3 digit number that links callers to access information 

on government programs, social and health services, legal and 

financial assistance, food and shelter, transportation services, 

counseling, child and youth services, seniors’ programs, community 

clubs and many other services. Each call is answered live by a trained 

information specialist. The referral of calls saves time and money that 

local agencies might expend redirecting people to other services. 

With the 211 telephone number, over 3200 calls have been made by 

residents of Northumberland to find information such as the location 

of food banks, how to complete government forms, or where to find 

help for elderly parents. With 211, residents can access where to find 

help twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, in more than 150 

languages. In Northumberland County, 211 calls were tracked: the 

top issues were Government, housing, financial and food security.

Northumberland Food for Thought 

Student Nutrition Programs 

The Northumberland Food For Thought (NFFT) is a community partnership that 

brings resources together with the purpose of ensuring that students have access to 

nutritious, safe, and personally acceptable food to optimize their learning at school. 

Students who are well nourished perform better in school. Their ability to concentrate 

improves, as does their overall ability to learn. 

The NFFT oversees the supports for the 38 local school breakfast programs which in 

2010 served over 367,100 breakfasts to more than 3,000 students. During the course 

of a school year, the more than 180 people who help out with student nutrition programs 

in Northumberland County donated a total of 27,540 hours. That adds up to 

approximately 1,147 days – or more than three years – of volunteer time. 

In 2009, United Way partnered with Northumberland Food for Thought to obtain 

a two year Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. This grant has enabled the Food for 

Thought to hire a Volunteer Coordinator, Darlene Theriault, to assist the schools 

with volunteer recruitment and retention. Our thanks go to the Ontario Trillium 

Foundation for their support. 

• 44% to food banks 

• 22% to faith based group 

• 18% to community groups 

• 16% to school programs 

Since opening in 2004, over 91,000 cases, or more than 3 million 

pounds, of food have been distributed to 160+ local members.

Message from the Campaign Chair 

Paul Racine, 

Campaign Chair 

How it happened, where and when it all began… 

it was a sunny day. Northumberland United Way 

President, Tom Behan, came to my house, actually 

our front yard; we have a property hidden away in 

Port Hope. Last spring, he approached me on behalf 

of the Board. Tom said, ”We think you can do a great 

job. There is a great team in place and you will have 

their total support. It will be a blast.” He then gave 

me a schedule of the key dates and asked if I could 

let him know. 

I said to myself, “We have a wedding this year, travel plans and we are expanding 

our business.” Bill Patchett had just finished a great year as Chair; the economy 

was still in the dumpster. “How is anyone going to follow that act?” I 

wondered. With that, I turned around and went into the house and approached 

my wife Debby. She asked, “Who was that?” I said, “Tom Behan, President of 

Northumberland United Way. He asked me to chair this year’s United Way 

campaign.” We looked at each other. Ten seconds of silence followed; it felt 

like 10 hours. It’s such an honour to be asked; we should see if we can make 

this happen. We took the schedule and found that there were few conflicts, so I 

called him that afternoon and accepted. I love to learn about our community. 

As I reflect on our journey this year, we learned more than we thought we 

would. We had fun doing it. We were humbled by the efforts of our volunteers 

and donors throughout the entire county. 

Donors give when they understand need and see the results being achieved. For 

over 40 years, the United Way has built on that mantra. I was taken aback by 

the number of people throughout the community who thanked me for stepping 

up to help out. It has been an honour. To the staff and the Board, thank you for 

placing your trust in me and allowing me to be your voice. As my year comes 

to a close, on behalf of Debby & myself, I’d like to thank everyone who stepped 

up to the plate. For the next Chair, when you are asked jump at the chance! 

Looking back today, this was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Tom 

was right; there was a great team, great agencies, great partners, and new 

friends. We love Northumberland with its best chili, best stews, best soups, best 

lunches, best dinners, best desserts and really great people. 

To all our media partners who helped us to get our message out, I can’t thank 

you enough. Communication is the key. I know it had to help our fundraising 

partners. We introduced some new campaigns this year and they did well. 

Leading the Way Circle, chaired by Beth Brook, gained great traction.

Corporate Leaders in Giving 

United Way counts on the local industries, their employees and unions each year 

as they contribute a substantial amount of money for the community. In 2010, local 

industries raised 44% of the campaign total, which represents over $400,000. This 

money was raised through payroll deduction, corporate gifts and matches and 

employee events at their workplaces. The United Way thanks all those employees 

and industries who support the Campaign each year. THANK YOU!

United We Did! 

Campaign 2010 Raised $904,564+ ! 

All kinds of different events, big and small, were held by a wide variety of different businesses and groups this past year. Many volunteers spent countless hours 

into organizing and running third party events to benefit our communities. Despite all the hard work, a lot of good fun was had and each event helped raise not only 

funds but awareness of needs within the County. We want to thank all of those who worked so hard to raise money for United Way.
