Hattie`s Food Hub opens doors to produce and
FOCUS Hattie’s Food Hub opens doors to produce and possibilities New training opportunity prepares people with disabilities for food-based and agriculture employment in the community Breanna wakes up every morning excited to start her shift at Hattie’s Food Hub. In this new position she has learned to prepare granola, wash produce and package food. She enjoys the opportunity to work as a team and apply what she learns to her individual tasks. At Hattie’s Food Hub, Breanna gains meaningful, on-the-job experience, which makes her employable in a competitive job market. Since the food hub is located in a neighborhood without easy access to fresh local produce, Breanna also plays an important role in Akron’s local food movement. She is proud to be part of Hattie’s Food Hub. “Knowing I will be able to do more than one thing gives me confidence. I want to get out there and help everyone I can,” said Breanna. “I like that we are not only providing people with healthy food, but we are also helping them to be healthy. This can be hard to do. I’m glad to be in a line of work that helps people in some way.” Hattie’s Food Hub is an innovative Hattie Larlham work training program designed to teach technical and social skills. During training, nearly 300 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities earn minimum wage for the work they do. INSIDE: Hattie’s Food Hub > 2016 Friendship Luncheon > Volunteering continued on page 4 June 2016 Dear friends, Recently, I announced my intention to retire as CEO of Hattie Larlham effective December 31, 2017. I have served as Hattie Larlham’s CEO for 27 years. While I’m proud of what we have accomplished so far, there perhaps has never been a more exciting time to be involved with this organization. Our new partnerships, programs and community initiatives benefit not only those we serve, but our community. Hattie’s Food Hub is an innovative approach to work training. It encourages independence among people with and without disabilities and strengthens a healthy eating movement which benefits the whole community. Construction, renovations and new programs are underway to provide more opportunities for the people we serve. These new initiatives empower people with disabilities to live, work and play in the communities of their choice. Although many of these projects will be completed after I am retired, I will continue to stay involved and support this wonderful organization. In my role as CEO, I have seen the impact each of our supporters makes. What we have accomplished today would be impossible without you—our donors, volunteers and friends. Whether your gift is financial or you choose to donate your time, every contribution makes a difference. I am excited to see what the future holds for Hattie Larlham. I hope that you will join me in support of our leadership, staff and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dennis Allen Hattie Larlham CEO Akron University students take Hattie Larlham residents to the zoo. 2 Boy Scouts provide fun life experiences and activities for Hattie Larlham residents. HATTIE LARLHAM Hattie Larlham hosts summer camps for people with disabilities. WWW.HATTIELARLHAM.ORG Community program supports dream of person with disabilities Bill’s life changed once he started playing music at AddVentures It’s Monday afternoon and Bill strums his guitar to “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. Bill could easily practice at home, but he prefers to play his music at AddVentures, a Columbus-based day program run by the Association for the Developmentally Disabled (Add), a Hattie Larlham agency. Here he receives positive feedback and encouragement from employees and participants who stop to listen to him. AddVentures encourages participants to try new things and develop their interests. “I love listening to Bill play,” said Elizabeth Jones, AddVentures program manager. “We have the same taste in music. We’re both fans of rock from the 60s and 70s.” Bill has been playing the guitar Bill (left) enjoys a music session with Music Therapist Eric Ahlteen. for 35 years. The guitar is Bill’s passion and therapy. It’s gotten him through a tough time in his life. He knows his guitar so well, he can take it apart and put it back together. “Before I came to AddVentures I was unhappy. I said, ‘Man, I gotta put myself together.’ Bill said. “I’ve improved a lot since I started here. Every week there is something changing in my life, always for the better.” Bill joined AddVentures in 2010. He set goals and turned his life around, with help from AddVentures staff. He quit smoking and started volunteering at the Help House. Bill prepared for the GED and worked with Add staff to update his resume. Thanks to the support and encouragement he gets from Add staff, Bill dreams of a career in music. Bill befriended musician and songwriter Eric Ahlteen a music therapist at Add. The two quickly formed a bond, exchanging music ideas. Eric often sings along to the songs Bill plays. “I always learn something from Bill,” commented Eric. “I’ve picked up guitar picking techniques from him and have made a true friend.” To learn more about AddVentures, contact Elizabeth Jones at [email protected].

Hattie’s Food Hub, from page 1 Samantha Phillips and Laura Foster, Hattie’s Food Hub job coaches, provide guidance for Breanna and other work training employees. With instruction from their job coach, employees develop and hone soft skills such as showing up on time, customer service and communications, and hard skills, such as operating a cash register and rotating stock, all of which are transferable to jobs after Hattie's Food Hub. “Staying on task, pacing my work and being productive—these are all things I’m learning here, but I can also apply to everyday life,” said Breanna. The team is proud to be a part of Hattie’s Food Hub, an endeavor which benefits not only the people Hattie Larlham serves, but the whole neighborhood. “Our employees start to feel empowered and that they can do things on their own in the community,” said Director of Food Operations Zac Rheinberger. We are preparing them to be private 4 citizens, earn their own way and work and play where they choose, just like the rest of us.” Hattie’s Food Hub is an important part of Hattie Larlham’s farm-to-table training. The program includes Hattie’s Café and Gifts, the aquaponics and CSA programs and Hattie’s Gardens. During a two-year period, people with disabilities who train at these locations experience all aspects of agricultural and foodbased training. Breanna joins Hattie’s Food Hub from Hattie’s Café and Gifts to further expand her experience. She is interested in co-packing –packing food for small start-up businesses. Breanna enjoys co-packing because she likes to see things organized and complete. “We teach them everything from the ground up,” said Zac. “Imparting work skills that are valid in a growing local agricultural community is imperative to gaining employment in that community.” For Hattie’s Café and Gifts, Hattie’s Gardens and now Hattie’s HATTIE LARLHAM Food Hub employees, the benefits go beyond an employment opportunity. Working in a healthy environment encourages them to eat healthy and live a heathier lifestyle. In turn, they gain confidence to implement what they have learned into their everyday lives and use it to contribute to their community. “Hattie’s Food Hub is part of a larger vision for the way organic agriculture, the local food movement and work training for people with developmental disabilities serve the greater good of Northeast Ohio,” said Zac. Hattie’s Food Hub is open Monday through Friday at 395 Douglas Street in Akron. Stop by our new corner market to purchase fresh, local produce for your family. Employees will be happy to tell you about our products, complete your purchase and help you take your items to your car.

Volunteering makes a difference University of Akron students connect with Hattie Larlham to volunteer their time University of Akron students and Hattie Larlham residents enjoy a day at the zoo. While most University of Akron students spent the first weekend of May studying for final exams, four members of the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity volunteered at Hattie Larlham’s Akron community home, where four adult men with developmental disabilities live. The fraternity members arrived promptly at 9 a.m., ready to do maintenance on the weathered back porch and take the residents to the Akron Zoo. The fraternity members were just as excited as the residents to be there. “We wanted to get involved in a project with continuity,” said Adam Woltermann, Delta Sigma Pi vice president of community services. “It was an opportunity our chapter has never had before and we were ready for a new adventure.” After speaking with Hattie Larlham Volunteer Specialist Deborah Mason at an on-campus volunteer fair, Woltermann toured the supported living home in February. Woltermann pitched the opportunity to his fraternity and the idea gained interest. Three weeks later, the students began their first volunteer project. “When coming to the home, we were welcomed in with open arms by both the residents and the staff,” said Woltermann. The fraternity’s first task was to convert a storage room into a common area. They renovated an unused room and turned it into a guys’ “hangout room.” The fraternity members replaced old furniture with a new table and chairs, painted the walls and built shelving for storage. “The students did such a great job,” said Mason. “We love the new space. Residents can now use the area to play games and socialize.” The students returned in April to garden and springclean the home. “I am very happy with the success of our volunteer opportunities we have had with the residents and staff at Hattie Larlham,” said Woltermann, “and can’t wait until we are able to be back this fall semester to continue our relationship.” Mason recruits volunteers for Hattie Larlham Constant Companions and supported living homes. Both serve adults with developmental disabilities. She works to match the prospective volunteers’ interests to activities residents enjoy. “Hattie Larlham’s community service volunteer program is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of adults with disabilities,” said Mason. “Whatever talent you have, someone will greatly appreciate that you’re sharing it with them.” Delta Sigma Pi is a professional business fraternity that develops principled business leaders for the future by providing a lifetime of opportunity for its members.

THAT’S HOW I CHOSE TO GIVE BACK. ” Give how you can Hattie Larlham donor encourages others to use their talents to give back As a child, Judie Shamis learned the importance of volunteering. She has spent her whole life supporting charitable causes and giving back to her community however she could. Judie is a member of the Fraternal Order Knights of Pythias. She is the leader of the Imperial Santha Nomads of Avrudaka chapter, a subgroup of the fraternity. After assuming the role in July 2015, it was Judie’s responsibility to identify a charitable cause. A long-time friend told her about Hattie Larlham, and after a visit to the Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities, Judie’s mind and heart were set. Having two healthy children and five grandchildren, Judie recalls being emotional on her tour. To her, it was evident the staff really cared for the residents, but she wanted to help too. “I am not capable of walking 6 miles, but I am capable of doing crafts. That’s how I chose to give back,” said Judie. Judie has been crafting for a very long time. If you ask her how long, she simply answers, “forever.” Judy chose to use her crafting skills as a means for raising funds and awareness for Hattie Larlham. “If I could donate money [to Hattie Larlham], I would,” Judie said. “But, there’s always something you can do. Volunteer, make a phone call or sell crafts. There has got to be something we can all do.” Hattie Larlham was designated as the beneficiary of the Imperial Santha Nomads of Avrudaka’s fundraising activities. The organization hosted activities to raise money for Hattie Larlham. As the fraternity’s leader, Judie is afforded many opportunities to tell her fellow members about Hattie Larlham. She shares stories of our residents every chance she gets. HATTIE LARLHAM Hattie Larlham supporters help in many ways. While some people make monetary donations, others give of themselves. Our volunteers, donors and friends each make a difference in the lives of those we serve. No matter how you chose to support Hattie Larlham, your contribution impacts the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To learn more about how you can use your talents to support Hattie Larlham, contact Special Events Coordinator Francesca Alex at 330-840-6844 or visit www.hattielarlham.org. Flash Fund raises $9,375 for aquatic therapy equipment On March 21 and 22, Hattie Larlham hosted our first Flash Fund. The social media campaign raised money to purchase therapeutic pool equipment for residents at the Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities. The indoor pool benefits people with profound disabilities. It relaxes muscles, stimulates senses and increases mobility. However, pool equipment and toys are frequently used and quickly become worn. Flash Fund donations purchased aquatic sensory toys and replaced hoyer lift slings. Thanks to a generous gift from NetSmart, each donation was matched dollar for dollar up to $2,500. You can make a donation to Hattie Larlham at any time. Text HATTIE to 243725 to send a gift from your mobile device or make a donation online at www.hattielarlham.org.

Whiteman Mrs. and Mr. Peggy Wichert Mr. and Mrs. Davis Young Hattie Larlham Boy Scouts Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities Boy Scout Troop 79, established in 2015, provides community activities for boys and teens with disabilities Boy Scouts is a rite of passage for many boys and young men. Scouting builds skills, creates friendships and provides opportunities for community involvement that everyone should experience. As host to Boy Scout Troop 79 and Cub Scout Pack 79, Hattie Larlham has made it possible for boys living at the Center to have the same life experiences as their peers. Hattie Larlham’s recreation staff collaborates with local troops to provide activities and opportunities for our scouts to earn badges. Most recently, the Hattie Larlham scouts participated in the Pinewood Derby at Richmond Square, a longstanding tradition among Boy Scouts across the country. “Events like these give our Scouts the sense to be like everyone else and part of their community,” said Hattie Larlham Recreation Specialist Angela Matta. To prepare for the event, Hattie Larlham’s recreation staff purchased car kits from the Cleveland Scout Shop. Staff and volunteers used a hand-over-hand technique to help the boys transform the three-ounce wooden block into racecars, decorated with their choice of color and design. On race day, members of Hattie Larlham Cub Scouts joined 50 other scouts, sending their handmade cars down the track. The support of other troops in the community has made the Pinewood Derby a successful and memorable experience for the Hattie Larlham residents. Each activity the troop completes explores different skills 8 and provides opportunities to connect and interact with their peers. “I’m very proud of the boys, the leaders and Hattie Larlham,” said Greater Cleveland Council of Boy Scouts of America District Executive Mark Baxter. “This is proof that when people want to do something, it can be done. I love working with Hattie Larlham.” To commemorate the troop’s one year anniversary, the Scouts hosted a Blue and Gold ceremony. It was the first time the Scouts were together in uniform. Families and the community were invited to celebrate. Staff presented the scouts with badges commemorating their accomplishments. They used adaptable switches to recite different oaths including the Scout motto, oath and law. Hattie Larlham’s Boy Scouts enjoy any opportunity to work with the community. To get involved, contact Angela Matta at [email protected] or 330-274-2272. HATTIE LARLHAM Pete Kepich joins Hattie Larlham residents at the 30th Annual Sugar Bush Golf Classic to benefit Hattie Larlham. New ride for Center residents Kepich Ford makes second pledge to assist with vehicle costs Community integration and social interaction are important experiences for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Getting residents into the community first requires efficient transportation. The vehicles Hattie Larlham uses to transport our residents need special flooring, seating and securement systems—expensive safety options that do not come standard on factory vehicles. Instead, each van requires extensive customization to meet the safety requirements for transporting those in our care. Pete Kepich, a Hattie Larlham supporter and owner of Kepich Ford in Garrettsville, Ohio, sees the value in giving back to his community. On May 1, Pete pledged half the cost of a 2015 Ford transit van. “As a business owner in this community I want to give back,” said Pete. “When you experience what Hattie Larlham does, the heart and effort the staff puts forth every day, you know that’s the people who you want to be arm-in -arm with.” To meet safety and equipment requirements, the van went to Mobility Works, the nation’s largest wheelchair-accessible van dealer. The van transports Center residents to personal appointments and community activities. “It’s great to see the residents out, enjoying the weather. You can see in their faces they are having a good time, and I’m proud to help DONATE ONLINE: WWW.HATTIELARLHAM.ORG make that happen,” said Pete. This is the second time Pete and Kepich Ford have helped with costs of Hattie Larlham vehicles.

Register for Hattie Larlham Summer Camps Mandy and her husband wanted a summer camp for their teen son Michael, who has developmental disabilities. As working parents, they needed a place for him during the day. They wanted Michael to enjoy his summer in a safe environment. Mandy found Hattie Larlham Camp Connect. “It’s so wonderful to see a smile on his face and that he found something he could look forward to,” Mandy said. “We live 45 miles away. It is difficult to find good camps for children with special needs, so when you find a camp as good as this, you don’t mind the drive.” Last year, Michael attended the Akron Rotary summer camp. Mandy said he woke up each morning very excited and could not wait to go to lake camp. At Camp Connect, campers can swim and participate in waterfront activities on the lake. This year, Mandy signed Michael up for Camp Connect’s art summer camp. Campers learn about art and create original work to take home to their families. Summer campers participate daily in art-related games, which develop dexterity skills. Mandy knows Michael is well cared for and in a safe and structured environment. Staff continually informed Mandy of his progress, and the most important thing is Michael is happy. To register, contact Julie Lowe at 330-760–3395 or [email protected].
