EARLY<br />

CHILDHOOD<br />

Children are more successful in school and<br />

throughout their lives when they have had the<br />

benefit of high quality learning experiences in<br />

their early years. High quality early childhood<br />

programs can successfully put children on<br />

the path toward positive development and<br />

prevent poor outcomes in adulthood.<br />

PARENTS<br />

AND MENTORS<br />

Parents are children’s first teachers. Research<br />

on early brain development tells us that,<br />

from birth to age 5, children rapidly develop<br />

cognitive, emotional and social capabilities on<br />

which subsequent development builds. Studies<br />

have shown that 90% of brain development<br />

occurs during the first five years of life. We<br />

know that children who are developmentally<br />

ready for school do better on a number<br />

of key measu<strong>res</strong>, such as school<br />

attendance and achievement,<br />

and continued participation<br />

in higher education.<br />

AFTERSCHOOL<br />

AND SUMMER<br />

Education is the single most important<br />

factor in the determination of a person’s<br />

poverty status: almost 24% of the adult<br />

population without a high school diploma<br />

is poor, compared to 11% of those who<br />

are high school graduates and only 3.6%<br />

of college graduates. Students who<br />

access high quality, enriching out of<br />

school programs, which are aligned<br />

with school day curriculum do<br />

better in school.<br />

MIDDLE SCHOOL<br />

SUCCESS/HIGH<br />

SCHOOL GRADUATION<br />

A high school credential is a minimum<br />

requirement for higher education, postsecondary<br />

credential programs and most<br />

career opportunities. Individuals with<br />

high school credentials are more likely to<br />

participate in the workforce, earn higher<br />

wages, access safer housing, healthier<br />

food and better medical care than<br />

their counterparts who lack<br />

high school credentials.<br />

MEET NICK,<br />

A TOWN OF PALM<br />

BEACH UNITED WAY<br />

SUCCESS<br />

When Nick’s Literacy<br />

Coalition AmeriCorps<br />

graduation coach first met<br />

him he had a 1.5 GPA and<br />

was behind in credits and<br />

community service hours.<br />

They met twice a week and<br />

to build rapport and trust<br />

the graduation coach helped<br />

Nick with homework and<br />

gave advice about life. Nick<br />

worked hard and brought<br />

his GPA up to a 2.5 giving<br />

him enough credits and<br />

community service hours. He<br />

graduated from Lake Worth<br />

High School and has enrolled<br />

in Palm Beach State College.<br />

Investments in education lift people out of poverty<br />

because children who have access to a high-quality<br />

education from cradle to career position themselves<br />

for work that pays a family – a sustaining wage. At<br />

the Town of Palm Beach United Way, we believe<br />

there is no better investment than education.<br />

We see education as a community <strong>res</strong>ponsibility. It<br />

takes us all – parents, teachers and caring adults – to<br />

help a child succeed in school and in life. And we<br />

know it’s worth it.<br />

DISABILITIES<br />

Individuals with disabilities and special<br />

needs are in need of services and<br />

programs that help them maintain<br />

independent living and have increased<br />

or sustained financial security.<br />

Caregivers of family members with<br />

disabilities or special needs require<br />

access to services that help them<br />

provide support and maintain<br />

a stable environment.<br />

ACCESS TO<br />

MEDICAL AND<br />

DENTAL SERVICES<br />

Many individuals do not have access to<br />

health insurance or do not have the funds to<br />

pay co-pays or for p<strong>res</strong>criptions. As a <strong>res</strong>ult<br />

they are unable to maintain or improve their<br />

health status and are at-risk for long term,<br />

serious health issues. Poor health impacts<br />

ability to function, to attend school or<br />

to maintain or gain employment.<br />

MENTAL HEALTH<br />

Many people have mental health<br />

concerns from time to time. A mental<br />

health concern becomes a mental illness<br />

when ongoing signs and symptoms<br />

cause frequent st<strong>res</strong>s and affect the<br />

ability to function. If implemented early,<br />

individuals who experience life difficulties<br />

and are provided with support<br />

and professional services can expect to<br />

alleviate the need for<br />

more extensive services for<br />

serious illness.<br />

OLDER ADULTS<br />

AND CAREGIVERS<br />

The new generation of seniors has different<br />

expectations than previous ones. Older adults<br />

are in need of services and programs that help<br />

them maintain independent living<br />

and/or increased or sustained financial<br />

security. Caregivers of family members<br />

are in need of services that help provide<br />

them support and help maintain a<br />

stable environment for<br />

their loved ones.<br />

SUBSTANCE ABUSE<br />

Individuals engaging in substance<br />

abuse are at risk of losing their families,<br />

jobs and engaging in risky behaviors. In<br />

addition, individuals living in recovery<br />

have difficulty re-focusing their lives<br />

and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.<br />

Access to appropriate treatment,<br />

intervention or on-going recovery<br />

programs are necessary to help<br />

individuals overcome substance<br />

abuse addiction or mental<br />

health issues.<br />

well-deserved pay check.<br />

Good health is an essential ingredient for individual<br />

success and a thriving community. Investments in<br />

health lift people out of poverty, because healthy<br />

community members are more productive and<br />

require fewer government services and costly<br />

institutional care. Healthy kids are more likely to<br />

succeed in school. The whole community will flourish<br />

when all of our <strong>res</strong>idents have access to quality<br />

health care.<br />

DOMESTIC<br />

VIOLENCE<br />

Domestic violence is the willful<br />

intimidation, physical assault, battery,<br />

sexual assault, and/or other abusive<br />

behavior perpetrated by an intimate<br />

partner against another. It affects<br />

individuals in every community,<br />

regardless of age, economic status,<br />

race, religion, nationality or<br />

educational background.<br />

ACCESS TO JOBS<br />

AND JOB SKILLS<br />

Over the past 20 years, the cost of living has<br />

increased by almost 90%, drastically<br />

outpacing income growth. The annual<br />

Household Survival Budget quantifies costs<br />

of the five essentials of housing, child care,<br />

food, health care, and transportation. To<br />

make ends meet, families are borrowing<br />

heavily and relying on high cost<br />

alternatives to cover their<br />

daily living expenses.<br />

FINANCIAL<br />

EDUCATION AND<br />

COMMUNITY BASED<br />

SUPPPORT<br />

Many individuals and families are hit with crisis<br />

and do not know where to turn. They are in need<br />

of community connections and services they are<br />

unaware of in their community. According to the<br />

US Census, nearly one in four Palm Beach County<br />

households – more than 23% —reported income<br />

of less than $25,000 in 2013. The <strong>res</strong>ult is<br />

that many working families in our<br />

community cannot afford to<br />

make ends meet.<br />

HOUSING<br />

Individuals and families often live<br />

on the edge between <strong>low</strong> income and<br />

becoming homeless. The individuals<br />

and families may also find themselves<br />

in need of emergency shelter for a<br />

variety of complex economic and social<br />

reasons. Emergency shelters<br />

are an essential component of<br />

homeless services and are often<br />

the first place to turn.<br />

FOOD<br />

Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain<br />

availability of nutritionally adequate and<br />

safe foods or limited or uncertain ability<br />

to acquire acceptable foods in socially<br />

acceptable ways. From children and seniors<br />

to the increasing number of working poor,<br />

food insecurity affects tens of hundreds of<br />

individuals throughout Palm Beach County.<br />

Food insecurity can have a negative<br />

impact on child development,<br />

educational achievement, and<br />

mental and physical health.<br />

A TOWN OF PALM<br />

BEACH UNITED WAY<br />

SUCCESS<br />

Evereen, a young single mother,<br />

homeless at the age of twenty,<br />

was linked to services at the Lord’s<br />

Place. She immersed herself in the<br />

Job Readiness class and began the<br />

process of assessing her skills and<br />

abilities, developing a <strong>res</strong>ume and<br />

identifying employment goals. By<br />

demonstrating real potential through<br />

hard work, dedication and showing<br />

up on time, she was referred by her<br />

employment specialist as a perfect<br />

candidate for the clerical transitional<br />

work experience program. The<br />

daunting tasks of scheduling reliable<br />

child care, dealing with mounting<br />

financial <strong>res</strong>ponsibilities and maintain<br />

secure housing, continued to be<br />

challenges Evereen add<strong>res</strong>sed,<br />

however her sense of purpose and<br />

<strong>res</strong>ilience proved to be greater, and<br />

as a <strong>res</strong>ult she was able to master<br />

all of the clerical performance<br />

assessments in record time. As a<br />

<strong>res</strong>ult of the increased skills gained,<br />

she was hired at a local nonprofit<br />

– Clinics Can Help. Continuing to<br />

set goals for her future, Evereen<br />

is working diligently to acquire<br />

advanced administrative skills all<br />

while preparing to enroll at Palm<br />

Beach State College.<br />

Investments in financial stability lift people out of poverty<br />

because they al<strong>low</strong> working adults to build valuable<br />

skills so they can earn more, pay down debt, develop<br />

assets, and save for the future. The Town of Palm Beach<br />

United Way’s work on financial stability focuses on<br />

keeping people off of the streets, away from crime, and<br />

into a stable lifestyle which is crucial to creating a safe<br />

and healthy community for us all. The entire community<br />

benefits from families and individuals who achieve<br />

financial stability. Without financial stability, individuals are<br />

more likely to engage in crime and risky behaviors and<br />

are more prone to illness. Thousands of workers lack skills<br />

required to secure jobs that pay family-sustaining wages.

THANK YOU ALLOCATION<br />

COMMITTEE<br />

The Town of Palm Beach United Way works closely with our partner agencies to ensure that our annual<br />

donations are carefully and thoughtfully put to good use to help the most people. Each year, dedicated<br />

community volunteers make important allocation decisions in an effort to make Palm Beach County a better<br />

place to live and work. These volunteers decide where and/or how much money will go to each program<br />

funded in the areas of education, financial stability, health and basic needs.<br />

The Allocation process is the cornerstone of our United Way. It ensu<strong>res</strong> fiscal and program accountability<br />

for all agencies receiving Town of Palm Beach United Way funds. In the process, volunteers challenge each<br />

agency’s effectiveness at providing services, review the need for those services in Palm Beach County, and<br />

analyze the impact of United Way funding in meeting those needs.<br />
