We Are All Connected 2015 Annual Report

2015 in Review

Joseph Vaughan Gayle Degler CEO/President Board Chair

Dear Friends and Partners, Thanks to your support and partnership, 2015 has been a year of incredible successes and exciting changes. With the hiring of a new CEO and an exceptionally successful fiscal year, the outlook for CAP is extremely bright. Our programs empower people to achieve social and economic well-being through quality education, safe and affordable housing, healthy individuals and families, and work that dignifies. From providing emergency child care to families in crisis, providing quality early childhood education, and nutrition services to women and infants to safe housing options and energy assistance, it is easy to see the impact that this organization has on our community. As we celebrate 50 years of service, we remember that we are all connected. It is through your contributions, support, and partnership that we are able to serve those in need in our community. As we look to the future, we continue to unify our programs to offer cohesive services that provide for the full needs of the families and individuals that we serve. Thank you for all that you do to support our work and mission. As we look back at 2015, we know that we can expect great things in 2016.

Joy came into the CAP office after being a victim of domestic assault. She had stitches, a black eye and her arm in a sling. Needless to say Joy was very worried about her ex trying to hurt her again and for the safety of herself and her 2 children. Joy is Viet-namese and English is not her first language. Joy had never accessed any services be-fore and wasn't sure where to start. Immediately, with the assistance of a Housing Case Worker, we were able to assist Joy in getting Medical Assistance and Food Support. In addition, she needed to find housing for herself and 2 children. Working with the Scott County CDA we were able to get Joy into income based housing. Today, Joy can work for about 4 to 5 hours a day due to the fact she has limited use of her right arm and side as a result of the abuse. Joy is able to sustain her family and home because she is able to access such services as Energy Assistance, Food Shelf, Thrift Store, Food Support, and Medical Assistance to name a few. Joy's chil-dren are excelling in school and she takes pride in maintaining a safe home for them. In addition, Joy gives back to CAP by serving as a community member of the Housing Coali-tion and helping out at Project Community Connect. Joy has expressed her gratitude to CAP for helping her during this difficult time.

On February 6th, 2015, a water

pipe burst in the third floor ceiling of Cardinal Ridge apartments in Belle Plaine. 36 residents

were sent scurrying out into the cold as thousands of gallons of water cascaded down the

walls. With the walls and ceilings soaked and no power to the building, it was deemed too

dangerous to occupy. This apartment building was one of the sites at which Senior Nutrition

provided congregate dining meals. When the volunteer arrived for the day to find the

residents displaced, she immediately alerted CAP Agency. CAP housing staff worked with

the Red Cross and Scott County emergency services to find housing for the residents. CAP

paid for the charges for the 12 residents who had to be housed in a hotel while the Senior Nutri-

tion program continued to provide two meals a day (plus the hotel breakfast), seven days a week until

April when the residents were able to move back into their apartments. The first day the building was

open, Senior Nutrition was there serving meals again. CAP was able, through donations, to buy gift

cards, provide a welcome home meal, cake, and food bags for all the residents.

Joy’s Story

For over ten years, Ron has been volunteering his time and skills

with CAP’s Chore program. Chore connects seniors with volunteers who assist with household projects,

allowing the seniors to continue living in their homes. This enhances their quality of life and contributes to

the strength and vitality of communities. Ron had been wanting to volunteer for many years but had not

been able to find the right fit with his skills and schedule. When he started his own business in 2003, he

looked into opportunities to volunteer in his community. He found CAP’s Chore program and called to see

if we would be interested in a volunteer who was hoping to do home maintenance and repairs rather than

yardwork and lighter tasks. We were thrilled to have him. Ron recalled, “After my first job, I knew it was a

perfect fit for both Chore and myself.” Ron has donated his time, talent, and often cash to the program.

He provides handyman services from fixing a leaky faucet to changing a furnace filter to rebuilding a deck

for a senior so she wouldn’t fall through the rotten wooden boards! He has been a wonderful

partner to the CAP Agency and we are so grateful for him and all our volunteers.

On September 13th, 2016 CAP Agency will be coordinating the 7

th annual Scott-Carver Project Community Connect

at the Canterbury Park Expo Center. This community even offers a one-stop location for direct services to residents

of Scott and Carver counties who are “living on little,” homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. 2015’s PCC event

saw 417 individuals from 270 households receive services. 89 service providers participated in the event.

One volunteer had met a man at Loaves and Fishes who was very depressed and alone and stated he was having troubles at home with his relationship. The volunteer encouraged him to come to PCC. When he arrived at the event, his shoulder were slumped, his head was down. He visited service providers and found out about resources available to him, received a free haircut and a lunch. When the same volunteer saw him later that day, his head was held high and he was smiling. He thanked the volunteer for recommending the event and told him it had been extremely helpful.

126 free haircuts were provided that day, over 2000 personal care products were distributed, and 124

people received health insurance information. There were 30 medical clinic visits, 42 legal

consultations, 13 homeless assessments completed, and 120 workforce services consultations. 63

individuals attending the event identified as homeless, and 40 CAP Agency housing consultations

were completed. Free transportation to the event and childcare were provided and will be provided

again this year.
