You Can Give Confidently The Foundry is governed by a board of directors that ensures all contributions are used for the purposes for which they were given. We believe each gift comes from people who give sacrificially. We use all gifts conservatively and prayerfully. We are a private organization funded by businesses, churches, foundations, civic groups and individuals. We do not receive government funding. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we pledge to raise funds with integrity, communicating The Foundry’s needs honestly. We submit to an independent audit each year and maintain an “open book” policy. We do not sell or lease our donors’ names, addresses, phone numbers or email addresses. The Foundry is a member in good standing of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM). The AGRM exists to proclaim the passion of Jesus toward the hungry, homeless, abused and addicted, and to accelerate quality and effectiveness in member missions. Dear Friends, Our staff, volunteers, and financial supporters are a powerful testament to what can be accomplished when we come together for a God-inspired purpose. Indeed, 2012 was “The Year to Excel.” We instituted The Foundry Way into our Recovery Program resulting in more men and women completing the curriculum with more permanent outcomes. Our Re-Entry Program remained at capacity and we were blessed to witness former inmates secure jobs and housing and reunite with their families. And we enhanced the services offered through our Rescue Program, further meeting the needs of impoverished individuals and families. This ministry wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for partners like you who support it faithfully. Yet we know this work is not our own. It’s the calling of a loving God who asks us to reach out to His people to meet their needs. Thank you for being part of our ministry team as we turn addiction, hunger and homelessness to hope! The Foundry is a member of the Alabama Association of Nonprofits, which is committed to advancing the nonprofit sector through development and delivery of professional training opportunities; advocacy and public policy engagement; and group purchasing benefits, consulting services and management support.

Lives are Transformed Where Hope Begins and rescue The Foundry is called to restore hope to hurting lives and that includes our neighbors who struggle financially, spiritually and emotionally. A hot meal, a kind word or a burden lifted can be the beginning of a new outlook on life—and we offer all that and more through our Community Outreach Center. From noontime meals to grocery boxes, our food programs allow us to fill empty stomachs with nutritious food and empty souls with God’s Word. For those who struggle to provide for themselves and their families, we also offer new clothing at no charge and medical and dental care for a reasonable flat fee. These opportunities allow us to meet our neighbors face-to-face and provide case management to help better manage their financial situations, disabilities or other circumstances that prevent them from living fulfilling lives. If we can’t assist them through the scope of our programs and services, we refer them to area resources that can. Often, however, their greatest need is simply something that gives their lives meaning or allows them to give back for the blessings they’ve received. Lonely senior citizens are never alone at our arts and crafts activities and other events. Many others find meaning in our many volunteer opportunities. And our weekly worship services are open to anyone whose spirit needs a lift. By continuing to grow our Rescue Program, we’re doing everything possible to make our community a happy home for all of us. Most days, 59-year-old Elizabeth is homeless. She sleeps in her car except for the few nights a friend lets her stay over. She works two part-time jobs, but doesn’t earn enough to keep a place of her own. She’s grateful for the food boxes she receives from our Community Outreach Center, which contain enough nonperishable items to last several weeks. Although her life is a struggle, she knows others whose circumstances are far worse, and she volunteers at our Outreach Center. “The Foundry is a place to receive encouragement and to help encourage others,” Elizabeth says. re-entry Thousands of men are released from prison in Alabama every year, many without the emotional maturity, life skills or support system to successfully rejoin their communities. The Foundry’s six-month, Christ-centered Re-Entry Program is designed to help them transition to independence. Re-Entry residents can live and work at The Foundry while obtaining their driver’s licenses, social security cards, full-time employment and housing. They also participate in life-skills classes, counseling, adult education and work therapy to develop sound decision-making and marketable job skills. Through worship services, Bible study, counseling and prayer, they are introduced to God and learn to apply His Word to modify past behaviors and rebuild productive lives. After completing the Re-Entry Program, men can opt to join our transitional housing where they receive ongoing support as they build promising futures. More than 2,500 men, women and children participate in our Rescue, Re-Entry and Recovery programs every year. At age 53, Carl was arrested and sentenced to 17 years in prison. During his incarceration he was a model prisoner and in 2011 he was granted early parole and released. But he had no job and no family or friends to take him in. “The Foundry opened their doors to me so I had a place to go,” he says. In our Re-Entry Program we provided Carl with shelter, food and clothing, and training in skills that would allow him to return to the workforce. While in our care, he enrolled in college and became a straight-A student. Recently he was awarded the Presidential Scholarship to Alabama State University, which covers tuition, books, and room and board. “If you asked me five years ago where I thought I’d be today, I’d have said ‘prison’ or even ‘dead,’” Carl says. “Can people really change? I’m proof that with the right kind of guidance, training, support and encouragement, it can happen. I’m a new man!” 2012 Services at a Glance Nights of lodging 100,658 Meals served 306,683 Residents earning GEDs 14 Recovery & Re-Entry program participants 748 People receiving clothing vouchers and disaster relief Food boxes distributed 1,024 935 Residents and community members receiving medical, dental, optical and prescription assistance 8,271 foundry farm The Foundry’s ENTERPRISES SuperThrift Outlets and Auto Sales Center The Foundry’s two SuperThrift Outlets and Auto Sales Center are multi-fold in their scope and purpose. These enterprises are probably best known for the service they provide to the community by offering necessities like clothing, furniture, household items and transportation at affordable prices. At the same time, men and women in The Foundry’s residential programs are assigned work therapy in these enterprises, where they learn responsibility, accountability and marketable skills they can use to find jobs and build independent futures. And proceeds from the inventory sold supports The Foundry’s programs of Rescue, Recovery and Re-Entry. The Foundry is grateful to Canterbury United Methodist Church in Mountain Brook that held a drive for items to be donated to our SuperThrift Outlets. In all, they collected enough clothing and household items to fill an entire box truck! A special thank you goes to Rachel Estes and Catherine Montgomery (pictured) who organized the drive. We rely on donations from the community to stock the shelves of our SuperThrift Outlets and the showroom of our Auto Sales Center. If you’d like more information on donating thrift store inventory and automobiles, contact Doug White at [email protected] or (205) 425-7737, ext. 23. For men who find a rural environment more conducive to their transformation, our Foundry Farm offers an additional setting for our men’s Recovery Program. Located just east of Cullman, the farm rests on 80 acres of rolling hills and dense forests that bring a sense of peace and introspection to men who may have come directly from the streets or other desperate situations caused by their addiction. Residents follow the same curriculum as those at our main campus in Bessemer. Here work-therapy opportunities include maintaining our grounds and vegetable garden and working in our SuperThrift Outlet. recovery God’s transforming love and forgiveness form the foundation of our Bible-based Recovery Program for men and women battling addiction. Our curriculum called The Foundry Way provides a personalized plan of care in which a resident’s success is determined not by the amount of time spent in our program, but by his or her personal progress. Residents receive one-on-one counseling to identify and overcome destructive patterns in their lives, develop life and job skills, and participate in work therapy, adult education, discipleship classes, worship services and prayer. Men and women are allowed to work at their own pace and are evaluated in the areas of work therapy, classwork, counseling and case management until they’re prepared—in every aspect of their lives—to return to their families and community. The program also promotes family reconciliation through worship services and FIRST (Families In Recovery Seeking Truth), a series of meetings to help family members better understand the problem of addiction so they can more effectively support their loved ones in recovery. Once they complete the program, we assist them in securing transitional housing and guide them as they progress toward independent living. Abused by her stepfather, Jill ran away at 15. “I lived on the streets and danced in clubs for 20 years. You get paid to drink and addiction became the way of my life,” she says. Eventually she married and had five children, but that had little impact on her addiction. When her husband died, she lost custody of her kids, she lost her home and she wanted to end her life. She believes God led her to The Foundry instead. “The Lord spared my life and now I know I’m supposed to use it to glorify Him,” Jill says. Today her relationship with her children has been restored; she has a good job and participates in a street ministry to help women who suffer with addiction as she once did. “I thought I was the last person God would want anything to do with. Seeing what He has done in my life is so amazing to me. That’s what I want to share with everybody. I want to tell them He loves them.” To protect the environment The Foundry is all about second chances and that includes the “things” you donate. Goods like clothing, shoes, furniture, household items and small appliances are sold in our SuperThrift To provide food & shelter Outlets. But The Foundry has also developed a recycling plan that includes sorting, baling or crushing, and selling and shipping items that can’t be sold in our stores. These products To offer recovery often have a market overseas or in unindustrialized nations or can be used to manufacture other types of merchandise. These efforts generate revenue for our programs and services. Just as important, they keep much of our trash out of the landfill, reduce our disposal costs and help meet needs of individuals throughout the world. Here is a brief list of items that deserve a second chance through our recycling program. For more information on the types of materials we accept for our thrift stores and recycling program, contact Lesley Searcy at [email protected] or (205) 425-7737, ext. 15. clothing, purses, belts, shoes, linens and stuffed animals, regardless of their condition; office paper, newspaper, magazines, phone books, aluminum and tin Don’t throw that away! Even if it’s ripped, torn or threadbare, we can use it! If you donate items we aren’t able to sell in our SuperThrift Outlets, they can still help The Foundry. We’ll process them through our recycling enterprise where they have several opportunities to generate revenue, help people in need and eliminate tons of trash in our landfills. For every dollar you invest, The Foundry raises $2.37 through our enterprises that help our residents learn job skills vital to their recovery. We make every effort to keep our expenses equal to or below revenue. In 2012, we procured $872,587 worth of goods through 14,997 donation pick-ups that directly offset our budget.

We believe each gift comes from people who give sacrificially. We use all gifts conservatively and prayerfully. We are a private organization funded by businesses, churches, foundations, civic groups and individuals. We do not receive government funding. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we pledge to raise funds with integrity, communicating The Foundry’s needs honestly. We submit to an independent audit each year and maintain an “open book” policy.

The AGRM exists to proclaim the passion of Jesus toward the hungry, homeless, abused and addicted, and to accelerate quality and effectiveness in member missions. Dear Friends, Our staff, volunteers, and financial supporters are a powerful testament to what can be accomplished when we come together for a God-inspired purpose. Indeed, 2012 was “The Year to Excel.” We instituted The Foundry Way into our Recovery Program resulting in more men and women completing the curriculum with more permanent outcomes. Our Re-Entry Program remained at capacity and we were blessed to witness former inmates secure jobs and housing and reunite with their families. And we enhanced the services offered through our Rescue Program, further meeting the needs of impoverished individuals and families. This ministry wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for partners like you who support it faithfully. Yet we know this work is not our own. It’s the calling of a loving God who asks us to reach out to His people to meet their needs. Thank you for being part of our ministry team as we turn addiction, hunger and homelessness to hope! The Foundry is a member of the Alabama Association of Nonprofits, which is committed to advancing the nonprofit sector through development and delivery of professional training opportunities; advocacy and public policy engagement; and group purchasing benefits, consulting services and management support.
