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 />

Publix took notice and<br />
hired Josh three years ago.<br />
Now, Josh enjoys his adult<br />
independence and his<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 />

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 />
