You LIVE UNITED by helping the community.
2009 Annual Report to the Community
DEAR FRIEND,As we began 2009, there were many challenges ahead. Thanks to our partners – donors, companies, agencies, volunteers – we have many successes to reflect on.
Thanks to the generosity of donors and the workplace campaign, community volunteers invested funding in 116 local programs last year. These programs provide a safety net of services for those in crisis, helping families find homes, get job training and access medical care.
South Sound 2-1-1 connected 76,724 people in Pierce, Thurston and Lewis counties to critical community resources, a 24% increase over 2008. Callers were connected to shelter, utility assistance, food and transportation.
In addition, United Way of Pierce County continued to address the critical issues of Education, Income and Health. We partnered with many in our area to get kids ready for school and educate parents to be their child’s first and most influential teacher. In Income, United Way and its partners tackled affordable housing and went to work developing an economic self-sufficiency system. On the Health front, we worked with partners to provide children with vital dental care and offer free cataract surgery to those in need.
In 2009, we asked the community to do more than just wear the LIVE UNITED shirt. We asked them to live it and many answered the call. They gave their time, talent and treasure, raising over $1 million through the Gifts in Kind program and $82,500 in seasonal giving. They shared their voice, serving as community champions and advocating for change at the state capital. They lent their muscle, logging nearly 200,000 hours volunteering through our Volunteer Center, ACT NOW, RSVP, Youth United, Project:U and Days of Caring.
In 2009, United Way received a fourth consecutive four-star rating from Charity Navigator, one of only five United Ways in the nation and the only one of our size to be so consistently recognized. Our marketing team was also recognized by United Way Worldwide for their efforts in launching LIVE UNITED, tying for the Best of LIVE UNITED Award with United Way of New York City.
As we prepare for 2010, United Way of Pierce County is dedicated to making measurable improvements in the lives of people in our area and providing opportunities for people to invest in our community by giving, advocating and volunteering. We invite you to partner with us in this important work. We invite you to LIVE UNITED.

When Charlie started at Tacoma Day Care and Preschool, he was loving and charismatic but lacked the self control needed to listen, follow directions and sit still. The teachers evaluated Charlie’s needs and created a plan that helped develop his weaker areas. They worked as a team, including Charlie’s family and the teaching staff in the plan. Life with Charlie is still full of surprises but knowing he will be able to transition to kindergarten and be ready to learn isn’t one of them. -- Charlie’s teacher

6,487 PEOPLEget the stability to maintain their joband secure permanent affordable housing.
After moving from Mississippi, I found it hard to make ends meet. While in Helping Hand House’s Bright Futures program, I took a life skills course and learned to develop and live by a budget. They also helped me start a savings account and taught me how to do my taxes. With the assistance of this program, I was able to not only learn how to make ends meet but found permanent housing and independence. It hasn’t been easy but what I have learned is helping me provide a better life for my family. -- Anna

45,383 OF OUR MOST VULNERABLEto have access to health care.
Matthew was born with several health issues. As parents, our number one priority was providing for his needs. We went to the Birth to Three Development Center’s Early Intervention Program and began therapy sessions. During our 18 months of therapy, my husband was laid off twice and we lost our home to foreclosure. Thanks to the Uncompensated Care Fund, we were able to continue Matthew’s sessions and have seen amazing results. We are so thankful for the opportunity to continue his therapy uninterrupted, despite our circumstances. It has changed his life.
