We
are pleased to present you with
CAMBA’s 2009 Annual Report. With
the economy still struggling and the job
market lagging behind a nascent recovery, our clients
and the entire Brooklyn community have continued to
face enormous challenges. At the same time, cuts in government funding have presented our agency with difficult decisions. In the face of these conditions, CAMBA
remains a strong and growing agency and we are firmly
committed to our mission to provide services that connect people with opportunities to enhance their quality
of life. We also continue to develop new programs in direct response to emerging community needs. CAMBA
has been successful on all fronts largely due to the dedication of our staff of over 1,300 employees. Each of our
staff brings a unique set of strengths, skills and interests
to their job and we could not provide such effective services without their continued commitment to the wellbeing of our clients.
To meet the needs of children in kindergarten through
grade 5 for quality after-school programming, CAMBA
entered into a new partnership with the Beginning with
Children Foundation. Through this collaboration, we
opened two new programs - CAMBA Kids Succeed at
Beginning with Children Charter School and CAMBA
Kids Excel at Community Partnership Charter School.
Between these two efforts, we are providing a safe space
and enriching activities for 285 children while their parents are at work. At Beginning with Children Charter
School, we provided a very successful Masters of Literacy Program for kids and their families. At Community
Partnership Charter School, kids enjoyed specialized
science programming with the New York Horticultural
Society.
We are also continuing to address the food requirements of struggling Brooklyn families through our Beyond Hunger Food Pantry. Beyond Hunger operates
on a Choice or Supermarket Model. Instead of receiving bags already packed with food, clients of a Choice
Pantry go shopping in the pantry and choose the foods
that they want/need. Shopping as opposed to receiving
packed bags, allows for consumers to choose the foods
that their family will eat and to get the items that they
need to supplement what they already have in their
kitchen. At Beyond Hunger, we are partners with Local
Produce Link, a joint program of Just Food and United
Way of New York City that connects a farmer in upstate
New York to food pantries in Flatbush who distribute the
locally grown organic produce as a part of their regular
food distribution. Demand for food at Beyond Hunger

Executive
Message

Joanne M. Oplustil
Executive Director
remains at very high levels, with the pantry
serving nearly 2,000 clients per month over the
past year. CAMBA is continually seeking new
sources of support for this vital program.
CAMBA has also been a recipient of funds
allocated through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, President Obama’s stimulus
package. Our Dislocated Workers Program will
help 200 recently unemployed Brooklyn residents return to full-time work. In most cases, we
will help workers leverage their existing skills
and experience to make a transition to a related
field. For example, an unemployed bank teller
may not be able to get work at another bank,
but s/he may be able to secure employment as
a customer service representative. We are also
training and placing 50 people in “green” jobs,
primarily as certified energy efficiency auditors
and building analysts in the increasingly vital areas of energy conservation and weatherization.
While this program is in its early stages, we are
already stimulating the economy by hiring seven
new full-time employees and spending funds locally on supplies and materials. By placing 200
individuals in local jobs, we will continue to support the recovery of the Brooklyn economy.
The past year has also been one of major
accomplishment for CAMBA Housing Ventures (CHV). Morris Manor, a 46-unit, newly
constructed facility was fully leased up. Morris
Manor represents a major milestone for CHV –
it is the first housing project fully developed by
CHV from design to completion. CHV began
the construction of Morris Manor on a long-va-
cant City-owned lot in summer 2006. The building opened on October 1, 2008 and lease-up was
completed by the end of November 2008. This
beautiful, state-of-the-art building offers 46
units of supportive and affordable housing in
the heart of Flatbush. The building provides 27
units for formerly homeless individuals exiting
the City’s shelter system. An additional 18 units
are occupied by low-income tenants who earn
no more that 60% of the Area Median Income.
This year, our accomplishments at CHV received well-earned accolades from the community. Joanne M. Oplustil, Executive Director of
CAMBA, and Morris Manor were recognized by
the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s Building
Brooklyn Awards. The Brooklyn Chamber of
Commerce gives the Building Brooklyn Awards
each year to recognize individuals who have
made significant contributions toward enhancing the business conditions and economic climate of Brooklyn and new developments that
enrich the borough. CAMBA and CHV are
deeply grateful for the recognition reflected in
these awards.
This year’s Annual Report represents something new. Our theme is “CAMBA through the
Eyes of Our Clients”. In the following pages, you
will meet clients of CAMBA’s various programs
and read their own words about what CAMBA
means to them. We hope you will find them as
inspiring as we do.

Sh na Stone
Sculpture
CAMBA is proud to be one of the nation’s premiere purveyors of Shona sculptures.
Proceeds from our Annual Sale and Exhibition of Stone Sculpture from Zimbabwe
supports CAMBA. Zimbabwe, a southern African country whose name literally means
“the house of stone”, is known for its remarkable stone sculptors. Semi-abstract works
created by artists of the country’s largest ethnic group can be found in the collections
of many of the world’s most discerning art collectors, including the Museum of Modern
Art in New York City, the Musée Rodin in Paris, the Rockefellers, and Queen Elizabeth
II of England. CAMBA’s Annual Sale and Exhibition of Stone Sculpture from Zimbabwe features works by many noted and established sculptors, as well as the offerings of
emerging artists. Our 1,500 square-foot gallery at 19 Winthrop Street provides exhibition space for many Shona sculptures at one time, making it one of the most impressive
collections in the United States.
Because of the deteriorating political climate in Zimbabwe and the resultant downturn in foreign tourism, there are few other venues for these artists to find a market for their work. CAMBA’s commitment to retaining a
Shona gallery allows us both to offer these works at reasonable prices and
to enable the sculptors to continue their artistic endeavors. These stone
sculptures can be viewed and purchased by appointment, online and during our annual fall sale and exhibition. Forty percent of the purchase price of
each sculpture is tax deductible.

Linda, Family Support Services
“CAMBA has helped me a lot. When I came to this program, I knew that I had to do a lot of
work on myself as far as staying clean a day at a time. My goal was to get back with my kids,
because in my years of drugging, I lost my kids to the system. I came to CAMBA and I told
my story. CAMBA helped me because I now have a relationship with my daughter. She was
born positive for crack and they removed her from me at childbirth.”
n
“CAMBA helped
me talk about me, learn about me, and find out what I want out of life. Today I am not using
drugs. It’s a process, I’m working on it, you know I’m only human.”
n
“When I speak, it gives
other people in the group the courage to talk about what they need to talk about. Today I
can talk about anything without crying.”
n
“We’re eating healthier, we’re looking better and
we’re in the best shape of our lives. This is where life begins for us because we drugged for
so many years together.”
Lawrence, Family Support Services
“I was in an introverted stage. My counselor told me
to come to CAMBA because CAMBA has a good
social network.”
n
“Before telling my daughter
about my status, I had to learn what HIV positive was because I was in denial.”
n
“I had to
learn how to deal with my needs instead of my
wants because my wants took me out of what
I needed. What I needed was to stay healthy,
to be responsible for food, clothing, and rent.
They are my basic needs.”

H w You
Can Help
For 30 years, CAMBA has prided itself on its ability to respond flexibly to changing community needs and to adapt our services to address sudden crises that disproportionately affect the City’s poorest
individuals and families. Generous support from individuals, corporations and foundations gives CAMBA the capacity to be proactive
and to continually develop innovative programs.
Types of Gifts
n
Cash - This is the simplest and most immediate way for you to
support CAMBA. Gifts may be made by check or on-line at www.
camba.org. A donor can also arrange for a monthly credit card deduction to fulfill an annual gift pledge. Checks should be made
payable to CAMBA, Inc. and mailed to the attention of the Development Office at CAMBA, 1720 Church Avenue, Brooklyn NY, 11226.
n
Corporate Matching Gifts – If a donor or a donor’s spouse works
for a company that has a matching gift program, any personal gift
can be matched by the employer. Please check with your company’s human resource department for matching gift information.
n
Bequests – Gifts made through a will enable a donor to invest in
the future without depleting current assets. Donors can designate
specific amounts, or a percentage of specified assets to the charity.
n
IRA Transfers - The owner of a traditional or a Roth IRA, age 70 ½
or older, can directly transfer $100,000 per year as an outright gift
to CAMBA, without having to pay taxes on the withdrawal. This
rule does not apply to employer sponsored retirement plans.
n
Memorial/Honorary Gifts – A friend or family member can be
remembered or honored by means of a gift to CAMBA. We will
promptly notify the designated recipient of the gift.
n
Gifts of Appreciated Stock – Donors with appreciated securities
can contribute them directly to CAMBA and get a tax deduction
on the current market value of the asset. No capital gains tax will
be assessed.
n
Other Planned Gifts - Various trusts, annuities and gifts of significant non-cash assets, such as real estate, are also possible.
n
In-kind Contributions – CAMBA’s programs have continuing
needs for gifts of clothing in good condition, toys, books, furniture,
and food to stock the food pantry.
Please call CAMBA’s Development Director at 718-287-2600 ext.265
to discuss how you can make a contribution that is compatible with
your current resources and philanthropic objectives.
