2011-12 Report to the Community
Message from the President and Chairman of the Board
It is our pleasure to say a big thank you and congratulations to the more than 12,000 Everyday Heroes in Ottawa County who were a part of the Live United movement over the past year. These Everyday Heroes
volunteered more than 115,000 hours (up 7% percent over last year), gave more than $2.1 million (up more than $150,000 from last year) and created more than $5 million of community benefit ( the largest in our history). Because of you, United Way is able to make lasting changes in the impact areas of Education, Financial Stability, Health, and Emergency Assistance and Basic Human Needs.
Being an Everyday Hero is different from being a Superhero. In the movies there is one Superhero who singlehandedly performs amazing feats to save the universe. In the “Live United” story, the one that happens every day in our own Ottawa County communities, thousands of heroes perform amazing feats while nobody is watching. Our Live United Everyday Heroes may not have X-ray vision, but—together, united—they keep a laser focus on 22 intended results in our four Impact Areas. Our Live United Everyday Heroes may not each have superhuman strength, but—together, united—they can lift people out of the despair of abuse and poverty. Our Live United Everyday Heroes may not be able to magically transport themselves from one place to another instantly, but—together, united—they can make food appear in front of the hungry and affordable prescriptions appear for the elderly and transform fear into hope. Together, united, there’s no problem we can’t tackle, no burden we can’t lift.
Thank you,
Patrick MoranPresident

Highlights of the Year
Wow! Look at all the ways
that United Way ADVOCATES for
EVERYONE in Ottawa County!
Working together to
advance the common
good, that’s how
the people of
Ottawa County
In 1887, a Denver woman, a priest, two ministers and a rabbi recognized the need for cooperative action to address their city’s welfare problems. They created an organization to collect funds for local charities, as well as to coordinate relief services, counsel and
refer clients to cooperating agencies, and make emergency assistance grants in cases which could not be referred. That year, Denver raised $21,700 and created a movement that would spread throughout the country to become United Way.
Today, 125 years later, United Way is still focused on improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities. And Ottawa County is one of 1,300 caring communities throughout the United States that supports a strong, local United Way. As you can see on page 2, in 2011-12, the people of Ottawa County—together, UNITED—donated more than 2 million dollars and more than 115,000 hours of time and skill to create more than 5 million dollars in community benefit. In these pages you will read more about all the good that is happening in our community because our community supports United Way.
Lakeshore Adult Learning Center.United Way is proud to have played a role in bringing this unique Literacy-to-Work program to Ottawa County. Read more about it on page 8.

Raising more than two million dollars and turning it into more than five million dollars of community benefit doesn’t just happen. It all starts with a group of SUPERHEROES called the Campaign Cabinet—volunteer leaders from throughout Ottawa County.
In 2011-12, these intrepid community champions were led by Campaign Chair Scott Remenschneider, Vice-President, Huntington Bank.
Scott and Mary Remenschneider and their children Madison and Will made the community campaign a family affair. They inspired thousands of families in Ottawa County to be Everyday Heroes, too. Their heroic efforts helped raise $2,179,586 to be invested in effective local programs that improve the health, education, and financial stability of our community—and provide emergency assistance to our neighbors in need.
The campaign cabinet gets to work in early summer, contacting companies and organizations throughout Ottawa County to help set up workplace campaigns.
Once all the companies are contacted, the next wave of superheroes steps up—the volunteer account managers. These volunteers work one-on-one with company campaign coordinators to schedule kickoff events with agency speakers, make presentations, and make sure their accounts have the information and support they need to run effective campaigns. Without them, the 200 workplace campaigns in Ottawa County would not get the attention they need and deserve.
September 15, 2011: The Campaign Kicks Off
The big day arrives—Day of Caring—when more than 800 Everyday Heroes get their work gloves on and fan out across the county to rake, dig, scrape, paint, haul and help in every way possible. When all those volunteers take a break at NASCAR RV Park in Grand Haven Township for a volunteer lunch (donated and served by campaign sponsor A.D. Bos Vending Services, Inc. of Holland) the campaign officially kicks off with the announcement of the campaign goal.
Then the real work begins.
Throughout fall and winter, companies and organizations offer their employees an opportunity to LIVE UNITED by making a payroll deduction pledge to United Way to be invested in effective local programs that solve problems in our community, and prevent problems from happening in the first place. But’s it not always work. Our Everyday Heroes put the “fun” in fundraising, as you can see on the next page!

As Fall 2011 became Winter 2012, the campaign really heated up. In January, with the help of our media partners, we launched a campaign to recruit Everyday Heroes from the entire community—people who would pledge just $1 per week in 2012.
The Holland Sentinel and Grand Haven Tribune offered unique “daily deals” via email that allowed their subscribers to purchase 36 meals for the needy for $10—and hundreds of people clicked “Yes!”
WGHN FM in Grand Haven and WHTC AM/The Van 92.7FM in Holland used their “air power” to draw people to Everyday Hero Events throughout the county. Seven Steps Up in Spring Lake signed up Everyday Heroes at their F&3 Acoustic Fridays in March. New Holland Brew Pub in downtown Holland and Odd Side Ales in downtown Grand Haven recruited new heroes at their events, as well.

To make sure every corner of the county was covered, United Way staff and campaign volunteers visited Chamber of Commerce and Rotary meetings, often wearing superhero duds, to drum up new Everyday Heroes.
The 2011-12 community campaign connected 1,865 new donors to United Way. A total of 9,750 donors from inside and outside of our workplaces gave to United Way, up from 7,885 the year before.
By the time Spring rolled around, it was time to CELEBRATE another successful campaign!
Denise Dhuse, of Ottawa Area Intermediate School District, received the 2012 Joe Martella Above and Beyond Award, given to the campaign coordinator who finds new ways to emphasize the importance of, and add excitement to, his or her company’s workplace campaign.
The Out of the Box Award for the most innovative company campaign was presented to Shape Corp. of Grand Haven. Accepting the award are Shape United Way committee members (L-R) Jamie Burton, Danielle Schmidt, and committee chair Peg Buehler.

In collaboration with MI Works!, Huntington Bank, the West Michigan Strategic Alliance Literacy-to-Work Initiative, Thompson M-Tec and
others, United Way is proud to be part of this new Literacy-to-Work skills development program located in the MI Works! Office at 115 Clover, Suite 201 in Holland. Already, the Adult Basic Education (ABE), General Educational Development (GED), and English as a Second
Language (ESL) classes offered as a part of the Learning Center’s comprehensive Literacy-to-Work Model have helped hundreds of people gain new employment as a result of completing their GED and acquiring workforce skills. This is just one example of how United Way helps to mobilize the community to create effective local solutions to community needs—in this case the need for a competent and literate workforce for the 21st century.
Through Skill, Work and Friendship, a Life Emerges
When Chris came to Kandu, Inc. in 2007, he had not worked a single day in his
life. After graduating from high school more than 10 years before, he lived with his mother and never learned how to transition into a life of productive work. But at age 30, under very extenuating circumstances, he moved to Ottawa County, met and began living with new people, and was asked about his goals.
At first, Chris did not understand the opportunity that work could provide, nor the benefits that come from being a part of a community and of contributing to it. He had few skills to help him manage relationships or the responsibilities of work. But Kandu’s Skill Building Services program changed all that.
The change didn’t happen all at once. Chris had rarely even spoken to those around him most of his life. The progress was slow, but deliberate. Chris learned to understand and appreciate structure, patience, concentration, and persistence. He began to connect in small ways—a smile here, a nod there. He began to realize what it means to accomplish work and earn a paycheck and he found value, and himself, in this discovery.

Familywize prescription discount program
In 2010, we began distributing FamilyWize prescription discount program cards throughout our community to help
people without health insurance to save money on their medication. By the end of 2011, FamilyWize reported that Ottawa County’s citizens had saved more than $125,000 on their prescriptions through these simple, free cards that entitle them to discounts of up to 70%. When the FamilyWize program began, it needed a national network through which to distribute its prescription cards and track usage to measure results. United Way was the logical choice. YOUR United Way provides the FamilyWize program to Ottawa County at no cost to anyone, but at significant savings to many. To download your own card, visit www.familywize.org, or call Greater Ottawa County United Way at 616-396-7811 in Holland or 616 842-7130 and we will mail you a card.
An Unexpected Life
When he was a younger man and looked forward to retirement, Thomas pictured himself fishing, or
enjoying other hobbies, with his wife by his side. But that is not how Thomas’s life turned out.
Soon after he retired, Thomas lost his wife to cancer and most of his savings to her healthcare costs. While still grieving for her, he got a call from Child Protective Services. He was informed that, if he could not take his three young grandchildren into his home, they would be put into foster care.
But Thomas no longer had a home in which to raise three children. His grandchildren attended Grand Haven schools, and it was in that community where Thomas found help, and hope. The Salvation Army of Grand Haven’s Fresh Beginnings transitional housing program provided Thomas and his grandchildren a temporary home. For the next year, while Thomas and the three children adjusted to their new circumstances, they worked diligently with case managers to become stable financially and emotionally.
Today, Thomas is learning how to budget and meet the family’s needs. He and the children have received counseling, and the children have received academic mentoring, which has led to improved grades for all of them. Together, they are healing, and they have hope for a secure future, together, as a family.

Providing a hand UP from poverty and loss to independence and growth, that’s how we LIVE UNITED.
Whoa … WHO are
YOU?
We’re the LIVE UNITED Everyday Heroes of Ottawa County! Together, united, we can do more than any of us can do alone.
What do we have to do?
Give a dollar a week…
Or an hour… Or advocate on behalf of your
neighbors.
or all three!
Okay … tell us more
It all starts when people give a little to United Way. They give where they work, or online at www. ottawaunitedway.org.
It doesn’t have to be a lot. Just $1 a week will feed a family for a month through a United Way-funded food assistance program.
Or give an hour or a day … Share your mind or your muscle.
How do I know where to volunteer?
That’s right: Every year, more than 40 people volunteer to help
United Way staff carry out the community campaign.
Find volunteer opportunities at www.ottawaunitedway.org/volunteer.
So … hundreds of companies and thousands of their employees get
together … and before you know it, Ottawa County’s Everyday Heroes
have raised more than
$2 million!
You can even volunteer to help
with the United Way Campaign!
And now it’s time to invest all that
generosity to advance the
common good.

You, too, can be an EVERYDAY HERO. Give where you work, or go to
www.ottawaunitedway.org to JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Not when we LIVE UNITED. The volunteers are divided into panels in our
four impact areas: Health, Education, Financial Stability, and Emergency Assistance/Basic Human Needs.
I think it’s starting to be clear
Each panel visits from 5 to 7 programs in that impact area, then meets to discuss how well those programs are measuring and meeting United Way’s intended results. Then they decide how much to invest, and their panel leader finalizes their recommendations, which are then presented to the Board of Directors.
More volunteers!
How does United Way know
what it wants its programs to
measure?
Every three years United Way conducts a community assessment in Ottawa County. That’s how we know how well we’re doing as a community.
OK, so the PEOPLE of Ottawa County GIVE some of their money … and then the PEOPLE decide where to invest that money.
You’re getting it now … and the money gets invested in effective
local programs. That’s how United Way mobilizes the caring power of our community to create the
building blocks of a better life for all.
Alright, alright, we’ll join the movement? Is there a
tee-shirt?
You bet!
Wow! It must be a lot of work to decide where the money goes!

HEALTHCommunity Health Needs Assessment
In 2011, United Way invited Ottawa County’s three hospital systems—Holland Hospital, North Ottawa Community Health
System, and Spectrum-Zeeland Hospital—to work together, in cooperation with United Way and the Ottawa County Health Department, to develop a single Community Health Needs Assessment for Ottawa County. With Greater Ottawa County United Way as fiduciary, these three shared the expense and are benefiting from the results of a single Community Health Needs Assessment. Greater Ottawa County United Way will feature this health needs assessment as part of its overall Community Assessment, which it will present later in 2012.
Healthy Fun in the Summertime
The North Ottawa Recreation Authority (NORA) Summer Program meets the
needs of a safe environment for children as well as helping them to develop a healthy lifestyle. Through this program, children participate in a variety of recreational and creative activities while also addressing a concern noted in United Way’s Ottawa County Community Assessment: 76.5 percent of the county’s
children spend three to four hours a day on sedentary, electronic entertainment. This program helps area youth become active and develop healthy skills and habits for a
lifetime. Nutritious lunches are provided daily by The Salvation Army of Grand Haven, a creative collaboration that helps children whose families experience food insecurity.
Last summer, two children of a Bhutanese refugee family that had recently relocated to our community received United Way scholarship assistance to attend NORA’s summer school program. The brothers had been through a harrowing ordeal, and their church sponsors hoped to help them adjust to life in their new community in a less formal setting than a classroom.
That’s exactly what happened. They acquired language skills, learned about their new culture, relaxed and played and enjoyed life as children should. By summer’s end, the boys exhibited improved self-esteem, increased ability to communicate and relate to their peers and instructors, and better health. When the new school year rolled around, they weren’t strangers from a strange land any longer; they belonged.

Whole Family Connection
In early 2011, when we introduced wholefamilyottawa.com , we were the first in Michigan to offer this unique, web-based
program that helps families identify their needs and link to the local services available to meet those needs. In the past year,
working with our partners, we received a $10,000 grant from the AT&T Foundation to purchase technology that helped more families to log on, connect, and succeed. Today, more than 700 Ottawa County families are using Whole Family Connection to foster healthy, productive lives. You can log on at www.wholefamilyottawa.com, too! It’s free, easy, confidential and convenient.
Health and Hope Return
Pablo arrived at Community Action House exhausted, sick and hopeless. He had worked
his whole life, but for the past 11 years he had struggled with Diabetes Mellitis, and finally he was unable to work regularly. But he was too young to retire and receive Social Security and Medicare benefits. Without regular work, Pablo had no medical benefits. Without medical benefits, he could not afford essential medical treatment to manage his disease. He applied for Social Security, but his application was turned down. A bout of pancreatitis had resulted in a lengthy hospital stay and more than $40,000 in medical bills, and he was three months behind in his rent. This hard-working and once proud, self-supporting man had hit bottom.
Then Pablo met Kim, an Emergency Ser-vices Case Manager at Community Action House in Holland. Kim worked with Pablo to gather the required information from his landlord and
doctors that would support a comprehensive application for Social Security benefits. The goal was to get Pablo the consistent support and medical care he needed to manage his chronic illness, and get him back to work. And, in less than a month, that goal was achieved. Today, Pablo is well enough to work part time and volunteer in the community.

Helping people back on their feet and in control of their lives, that’s how we LIVE UNITED.

Volunteer Campaign Continues to Break Records
In March 2011, Shannon Morton, Director of Volunteerism, announced a lofty goal
of recruiting 5,630 people who volunteer in Ottawa County through United Way, and for the third year in a row that goal was exceeded. The 2011-12 volunteer campaign yielded 5,776 volunteers who gave 115,477 hours of service and—with a volunteer hour valued at $21.36—more than $2.46 million in leveraged support.
There are many ways to volunteer through Greater Ottawa County United Way, including:1. Volunteer Solutions (Log on to our secure
web-based volunteer center, which matches volunteers with opportunities throughout Ottawa County, at www.ottawaunitedway.org/Volunteer);
2. The Students LIVE UNITED program for high school students;
3. United Way-led events that occur throughout the year, such as Day of Caring, Rake a Difference, and Beach Sweep;
4. Company & Organization Volunteer Opportunities (such as our unique partnership with Ottawa County Parks, Adopt-A-Park).
Community’s Kids Continue to Contribute
More than 200 middle school students helped propel the Volunteer Campaign
past its goal with one fantastic day of volunteerism and community engagement. On Friday, February 10, 2012, the students of Lakeshore Middle School in Grand Haven boarded buses that took them to volunteer project sites throughout Grand Haven – such
as the YMCA and Tri-Cities Ministries Counseling (pictured here). After their morning of volunteering they enjoyed
a pizza lunch, then gathered in the school auditorium to reflect on their experiences and watch an “instant replay” video of their morning projects. It was the second year for this event, and by all accounts it will return next year for another encore.
2012 Volunteer of the Year Rhonda Dittman
Rhonda Dittman, a Holland resident
and employee of PNC Bank, was named 2012 Volunteer of the Year. She has served as a United Way community investment panel leader for eight years and is also a member of the impact cabinet, which oversees the community invest-ment process. She was
the employee campaign coordinator for PNC Bank in Ottawa County and the force behind successful campaigns there for many years. In addition to United Way, she volunteers at DeAnna’s Playhouse in Zeeland, in their Grow Up Great program, and tutors 4th and 5th grade children with Math Fact through Life Services Systems.

Adopt-A-Park Program Growing
In a community that is known for being one of the happiest and healthiest places to live in
the whole United States, it is no wonder that we take such great pride in our parks and their beauty. The Adopt-a-Park partnership between Ottawa County Parks and Greater Ottawa County United Way insures that those parks will stay beautiful with the help of volunteers from throughout the county. Organizations agree to provide a team of volunteers to visit their adopted park three times a year to keep it free from invasive plant species.
You don’t have to be a big company to adopt a park. Even United Way, with our small staff of seven, has adopted a park. In exchange for doing something great for a county park and enjoying the camaraderie of working alongside coworkers for a few hours in the great outdoors, Ottawa County Parks Department erects a sign at the park that displays the adopting organization’s name and logo.
Five parks have been adopted by the following organizations:• Hemlock Crossings – GHSP• Rosy Mound Natural Area – Automatic Spring
Products Corp.• Kirk Park – Greater Ottawa County United Way• Pigeon Creek Park – Hillshire Brands (formerly
Sara Lee Foods)• Historic Ottawa Beaches – Alpha Theta Chi of
Hope CollegeThere are many more Ottawa County parks
and natural areas waiting to be adopted. One of them is near you! If your organization is interested in adopting a park, contact Shannon Morton, Director of Volunteerism, at smorton@ottawaunitedway.org, for details.
One Beautiful Day to Build CommunityNearly 800 Ottawa County citizens did not report to their usual jobs on the morning of Thursday, September 15, 2011, but no one was marked “absent” and none of the 800 were taking it easy. Instead they set out into the late summer sunshine to 60 project sites as part of United Way’s 11th Annual Day of Caring. In all, 80 teams from area companies, schools, and organizations got a day’s work done at parks, private homes, and nonprofit agencies— putting in a total of 4,656 hours of pulling weeds, scraping paint, fixing roofs, clearing trash and more. Their SUPERHERO efforts provided nearly $94,000 in labor support to the community in just one day.
More than 800 STUDENTS LIVE UNITED Since its inception in 2007, Greater Ottawa County United Way’s unique Students LIVE UNITED program (formerly called Student Service Learning) has engaged Ottawa County’s high school students in a systematic volunteer program beginning at the end of a student’s eighth grade year. By 2011-12, the program had grown to include seven high schools—Allendale, Black River, Coopersville, Grand Haven, West Ottawa, Zeeland East and Zeeland West. Currently 800 students are enrolled in the program (up from 625 in 2011). The following 2012 graduates received the Michigan Student Service Award signed by the Governor of Michigan for extraordinary volunteerism during their high school years:
Black River High School • Audrey Bauer (534.5 hours)• Daniel Chamness (566 hours)• Zachariah Caruth (1,557 hours)•Sydney Cavanaugh (423.5 hours)Grand Haven High School • Lauren Andrini (496 hours)• Scott Staal (408.5 hours)
C0ngratulations to all of our students who LIVE UNITED.
Automatic Spring Products Corp. HR Director Bob Van Dyke keeps his team on task during one of their volunteer visits to Rosy Mound Natural Area in Grand Haven Township.

2011-12 LighthouseLeadership Circle
A dedicated group of citizens—the members of the Lighthouse Leadership Circle—support our community through gifts of $500 or more per household per year. In the 2011-12 Community Campaign, Greater Ottawa County United Way received 712 such gifts—from employees of workplaces that run campaigns as well as individuals not associated with a workplace campaign—for a total of $741,412.
In other words, approximately 7 percent of all donors gave 34 percent of the total campaign dollars raised.In the Tri-Cities, for the ninth year, an anonymous donor offered a challenge to match all new and increased leadership gifts from Tri-Cities residents, up to $30,000. And residents of the Tri-Cities rose to that challenge, giving $41,825 in new and increased leadership gifts.
We thank each and every person listed here for being that beacon of light that guides others safely in from the storm. As a community, we are stronger and more able to weather what storms may come … because of you.
(If we inadvertently omitted your name from this list, we apologize for the error and ask that you kindly let us know. Please contact Tracy Plummer via email, tplummer@ottawaunitedway.org, or telephone 616-396-7811.)
