United Way
of Southeastern Connecticut
2014 Annual Report
2014
The groundbreaking ALICE Report is released in 2014. All Connecticut
United Ways supported the study, conducted by Rutgers University, to
examine why households with working adults were still having trouble
making ends meet. ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained,
Employed. The report found that while 10% of people fall below the
Federal Poverty Level in Connecticut, there is another 25% earning above
the poverty level but not enough to cover the basics of living including
housing, child care, and food.
I am ALICE
As part of United Way’s communitywide school
supplies drive, the WNBA Connecticut Sun hosted a
“United Way Night” and collected school supplies from
fans. United Way volunteers and agency
representatives were on-court during pre-game.
OPEN YOUR HEART
INSPIRE HOPE
TOGETHER
The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center donated a
portion of its Coogan Farm to establish a Giving
Garden. All of the produce grown here is donated
to the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor
Food Center. In June, on the United Way Day of
Action, more than 100 volunteers spent the day
at the farm to help prepare it for growing the
vegetables. Mohegan Sun sponsored the event,
providing volunteers, equipment, a shuttle bus and
driver, and lunch. Volunteers plant and maintain the
plots, then harvest vegetables for delivery to the Food
Center. In its first, abbreviated growing season, the
Giving Garden yielded more than a ton of vegetables.
On the cover, from top to bottom: a volunteer reader from
Zachry Nuclear Engineering during Read Across America;
volunteers harvest vegetables at the Coogan Farm Giving
Garden in Mystic; Gemma E. Moran inviting people to take
the Turkey Challenge and provide holiday meals to those
struggling with hunger; and Morgan Stanley
volunteers lend a hand at the Food Center.
At the Campaign Celebration in March, Campaign Co-chairs
Bob Nardone and Keith Brothers announce that generous donors
had contributed a total of $5,786,952 to advance the common
good in Southeastern Connecticut. The Chairman’s Award of
Excellence, the highest honor for a company running a
United Way Campaign, is presented to
Zachry Nuclear Engineering.

COMMUNITY
OPPORTUNITY
We celebrate the 90th birthday of the founder
of the Food Center, Gemma E. Moran, with an event
at the Garde Arts Center. Guests at “A Legacy That
Sustains Us,” reflected on Moran’s legacy of
hunger activism and the early years of establishing
the Food Center. Part of the event includes Moran
receiving the inaugural Placemaking Award from
CreateHereNow, an organization that re-purposes
under-utilized storefronts and historic buildings
to become hives of community activity. The award
recognizes Moran as a pioneer and innovator for
helping to address the area’s issues around hunger.
HELPING THOSE AT-RISK FOR
HUNGER & FOOD INSECURITY
The Mobile Food Pantry program is a critical extension of the work of the Gemma
E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Center. In 2014, United Way meets its goal of
establishing twelve monthly distribution sites throughout New London County.
The sites were chosen based on where the largest number of people at-risk for
hunger could be served and/or where there are food deserts, where access to
healthy and inexpensive food can be limited. On average, the Mobile Food Pantry
serves 1,000 households per month, providing each with about a week’s worth of
fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and healthy snacks. Additional support for the
Food Center and Mobile Food Pantry is provided by: Bank of America Charitable
Foundation; Chamber of Commerce of Eastern CT; Charter Oak Federal Credit Union
Community Giving Program; Chelsea Groton Bank Foundation; Citizens Bank Foundation;
City of New London Community Development Block Grant; Dime Bank Foundation; Dominion Foundation; Federal
Emergency Food and Shelter Program; Jewett City Savings Bank Foundation; Ledyard Rotary Foundation; Liberty
Bank Foundation; Metabolic Studio and Annenberg Foundation; Rotary Club of Mystic; Frank Loomis Palmer Fund;
ShopRite (through CT Food Bank); Walmart; and the USDA.
The 2nd annual Walk Against Hunger is held in May and
welcomes 360 participants and 48 teams that rallied
together to fight hunger. In all, more than $25,000 is
raised for the Food Center and its member agencies.
Volunteers at the Mobile Food Pantry distribution at
Three Rivers Community College show their support for
Hunger Action Month in September by wearing orange.
Volunteering at the Food Center hits an all-time high in 2014.
More than 11,000 hours of volunteer time is donated to help sort
food, pack meat and produce for both the warehouse and
Mobile Food Pantry, and check expiration dates on donations.
This support helps us distribute the equivalent of 2.25 million
meals throughout the year.

IMPROVING LIVES
At the Tommy Toy Fund, in partnership with The Bulletin, volunteers
sort and distribute holiday gifts to families in need. Pictured here are
volunteers from Norwich Public Utilities. Last holiday season, 5,734
children receive toys through the Tommy Toy Fund.
Foxwoods Resort Casino/MPTN once again sponsors Stuff the Bus to
collect holiday toys, clothing, winter coats and other items to
donate to the Tommy Toy Fund. Foxwoods also sponsors a
series of bus tours, giving individuals and other companies
the chance to visit United Way partner programs and see
first-hand how their donation makes a difference.
ENSURING THAT NO ONE FREEZES
DURING THE WINTER
When there is no other means of assistance, United Way’s
Project Warm-Up steps in to help, providing one-time
emergency heating to families in need. Last winter, Project
Warm-Up helped 434 households. Applications are submitted through a network of local social service providers
on behalf of their clients to United Way. These caseworkers
are able to counsel their clients to help prevent the future
need for assistance. Additional support for Project WarmUp is provided by: Bodenwein Public Benevolent
Foundation; Community Foundation of Southeastern CT;
Dominion Foundation; and the Frank Loomis Palmer Fund.
SUPPORTING EDUCATION & LITERACY IN
OUR SCHOOLS
United Way believes that all children should enter school with the material
supplies needed for academic success. A school supplies drive yields more than
5,500 items, donated by local businesses, that are provided to schools in the
county. During Teacher Appreciation Week, gift baskets of supplies are also
delivered to 80 schools. And we recruit volunteer readers to read to students in
the classroom on two occasions – on Read Across America Day in March to
commemorate the birthday of Dr. Seuss and immediately after the Campaign
Kickoff event in September. Together, we are supporting the academic
achievements of students.
Charter Oak Federal Credit Union
sponsors the 100x100 Challenge to
encourage businesses to donate to
United Way, many of whom had
never before contributed. Charter Oak matches those
new gifts, up to $10,000, and the company hosts a
reception for all 100x100 donors at its headquarters in
Waterford. Charter Oak also holds the “Big Chill,” at
left, to raise funds for United Way in addition to its
United Way employee campaign and corporate support.
Support for the
New London County Fund
to End Homelessness is provided
by: Charter Oak Federal Credit Union
Community Giving Program;
Community Foundation of Eastern CT;
Dime Bank Foundation; Dominion
Foundation; Liberty Bank Foundation;
The Edward and Mary Lord Foundation;
Pfizer Foundation; SI Financial Group
Foundation; and the State of
Connecticut, Department
of Housing.
As it neared the
second year of operation in
May, the New London County Fund
to End Homelessness had provided rapid
rehousing and shelter diversion services for
a total of 204 households in the county—
including 140 families with 286 children. The
news is reported at a legislative briefing held at
United Way. United Way sub-contracts with local
nonprofit service providers to implement rapid
rehousing services for homeless singles and
shelter diversion and rapid re-housing
services for homeless families using the
state’s United Way 2-1-1 helpline as a
portal for those in need.
