The Plan of Action for Community
Transformation (PACT) United:
An agreement to uncover the underlying
conditions of Acadiana’s greatest health
and human service challenges and
to offer solutions that create lasting
improvements in the lives of all.
A message from our Board Chair
LIVE UNITED. It is a movement to ensure a strong future for Acadiana.
It is a movement built with you, me and all of the resources we can
bring to bear. Not just money… our creative resources, our ability to
collaborate, our foresight to align to tackle tough issues and our ability
to be visionaries about the potential of our communities and its people.
LIVE UNITED is about believing it can happen and staying the course.
As the board chair of United Way of Acadiana, I am so proud of the
strides we are making together. Thank you for your time, talents and
treasures you have personally shared along the way. With your help,
this has been a year of progress toward the goals we set in our Plan of
Action for Community Transformation – our PACT United.
basis in an effort to keep them from falling through the cracks. Join us!
Volunteers working with these kids quickly see the change happening
in their students, and they are inspired by their impact on these young
lives of great potential.
Collaborations are providing creative solutions to increase income
for hard working families. Thanks to the Asset Building Coalition of
Looking back on the year, I see the story of our movement unfolding.
With each step, we are better positioned to help more children succeed
and graduate on time, empower families with greater financial stability
and serve neighbors in need of a helping hand.
Acadiana, trained volunteers helped people access $1.85 million in
Earned Income Tax Credits to help make ends meet and build savings
in 2011. How did they do it? They gave their time to prepare taxes
at no charge and ensured these low-income workers kept every
penny they deserved. It is a motivating job for these volunteers and
collaborators. In some cases, these tax credits amounted to 20% of the
total annual household income for a low income family. Just imagine
the opportunities this opens for a family earning below a living wage
with children to support. Despite these efforts, more than $25 million
is still left unclaimed in Acadiana.
Our communities are aligning to support education. United Way of
Together, we are there for our neighbors in their most trying time.
Acadiana is honored to be a founding member of Lafayette Parish Public
Education Stakeholders Council (LaPESC), which is committed to
improving overall academic achievement, eliminating the achievement
gap and increasing the high school graduation rate. As we welcome
Dr. Pat Cooper, our new superintendant of Lafayette Parish Schools,
LaPESC welcomes his leadership and is sending an important message
that this community cares about the future of our schools and wants
to collaborate to create the kind of change that needs to happen. On
the day we release this report, the first regional Education Summit will
take place to bring together institutions and individuals to crystallize
our shared vision for making progress.
Let’s continue to be visionary about the potential of our people
and all that Acadiana has to offer. Together, we can put our best
Our volunteers are rolling up their sleeves to help our kids be successful.
More than 1,700 first- and second-grade students living right here in
Acadiana are at risk of falling behind in their ability to read at grade
level. Children who enter fourth grade not reading on grade level will
have increased challenges to keep pace with their academics, placing
them at risk for failure. It places their dreams about their future at
risk. We can’t let that happen when the solution is right under our
nose. Volunteers are helping these children by reading on a regular
Last March, our very own city of Rayne was hit by a horrific tornado that
shattered the homes of dozens of families. Some were left with nothing
but the clothes on their backs. United Way of Acadiana led efforts as
part of the Rayne Long-Term Recovery Coalition to help storm victims
get back on their feet. This March 5th, a celebration will take place
to give thanks to the good work of people who stepped up to rebuild
the lives for every single family impacted by this storm. No one was
left behind.
selves forward and LIVE UNITED for the future of Acadiana. Let’s stay
the course.

EARNINGS
Earn it.Keep it.$ave it.
During the 2011 tax season, United Way of Acadiana assisted with 12 free tax
preparation sites. Through the volunteer work done at these sites, 1,006 individuals
were able to claim $1.85 million in Earned Income
Tax Credit, which allowed them to pay down debt,
build a personal savings safety net and increase
disposable income. That is a 3% increase from the
amount claimed in EITC during the 2010 tax season.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites
are a collaboration of the IRS, United Way of
Acadiana, the Acadiana Asset Building Coalition
and 232-HELP/LA 211.

RAYNE LONG-TERM
RECOVERY COALITION
In the aftermath of the
tornado that devastated
Rayne, several church
and community volunteer
organizations, including United Way of Acadiana, formed the Rayne Long-Term
Recovery Coalition in an effort to help those impacted by the disaster. The Coalition
brought together a wide cross-section of groups for the common goal of helping those in
need. Coalition members include:

The Rayne Long-Term Recovery Disaster Relief Fund was established by the coalition to
receive donations to help local families rebuild or repair housing, replace household
appliances and repair vehicles. The fund generated approximately $125,000, providing
help for 48 families.
The Coalition shows what can happen when we all lend a hand. When we stand united, we have
the ability to change our neighbors’ lives for the better.

On the morning of March 5, 2011, everything changed for Margaret Plummer. When the wind died down, all of the things Plummer saw floating in the air came

of Acadiana was able to help.
“It’s your worst nightmare,” she said. “It’s something you can’t forget. Everyone
says it sounds like a train, but it doesn’t. It sounds like a loud explosion.”
As the tornado moved closer, she stepped outside and noticed a lot of things
swirling in the air. Then everything started vibrating.
Plummer moved toward an interior closet. She made it as far as the door, lying
on her stomach as the tornado passed over her home.
“I had no ceiling, no roof,” she said. “I’m surprised I didn’t go for a ride with the wind.”
When recovery efforts started, Ronda Trahan, Case Manager, gave her a card
with United Way of Acadiana’s information on the back. Plummer made the call,
and United Way of Acadiana, through the Rayne Long-Term Recovery Coalition,
was able to help her replace kitchen and bedroom furniture as well as some
medical equipment.
The coalition helps residents in storm-damaged areas meet their needs by
assisting in efforts such as re-housing displaced families and restoring homes
damaged as a result of the tornado.
“United Way showed up at the right time,” she said.

Dorothy McMichael has lived in Butte La Rose
for 30 years. But in the summer of 2011, she was forced
to move out of her house for four months.
McMichael was one of the residents affected when the
Morganza Spillway was opened on May 14, 2011, to ease
flooding along the Mississippi River. And United Way of
Acadiana was there to help.
“Before we talked to United Way, I don’t think she knew
when or how she’d get to move back in,” said McMichael’s
son, Luke. “United Way of Acadiana was a light at the end
of the tunnel.”
After the floodwaters settled, a neighbor noticed that McMichael had significant
damage to her home and put her in touch with United Way of Acadiana. Standing
water had been sitting in and under her home for four weeks, and she was in
desperate need of new floors and doors. But as an 82-year-old widow on a fixed
income, she wasn’t able to take on such major repairs.
United Way of Acadiana was able to work with a contractor to replace her floors
and doors while she stayed with her son. Now, she’s back in her home.
“I’m looking forward to being back in my home again, but it’ll be a while before
I get pictures back on the wall,” she said.“Everything’s been smooth,” her son
added. “The work has been done and done well. You can’t ask for more.”
In addition to the repairs, United Way of Acadiana supplied McMichael with a
gift card to restock groceries and other supplies. The funding for these projects
came from a $10,000 donation from Entergy to help victims of flooding in St.
Martin Parish.
65 volunteers assisted with collecting and sorting food items donated to support the
National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food Drive on May 14th, held in
conjunction with United Way of Acadiana and Food Net. This year’s drive yielded

early-grade
Literacy
Children learn to read in the
early-grade years so they can
read to learn throughout the rest of their lives.
A missed opportunity to read at grade level by the fourth grade
could set an individual’s quest for learning back permanently.
United Way Readers help by providing much-needed reading
practice time in conjunction with classroom teachers each
week for a 10-week time period at Lafayette and Acadia parish
schools.
This year, more than 75 people have volunteered to be a
United Way Reader. And they’re making a difference. Through
this program, 95 children are strengthening their reading skills
with the help of United Way Readers.
The good news is most struggling readers can learn to
read if given additional help in the early grades. That is why
United Way of Acadiana is focused on increasing awareness
and providing reading and literacy support to children at risk
of falling behind through the United Way Readers program.
EDUCATION
Here is a look at the grade levels and schools served by
United Way Readers:

Parents are a child’s first teacher. The Early Head Start Program encourages
parents to get more actively involved and to develop strong peer relationships
with other parents through “Socializations.” They may first seem like just a
play-date for young children enrolled in the program, but Socializations also
give parents an opportunity to meet and visit with other parents. They also
learn more about important childcare issues like nutrition, proper dental care
and the importance of reading to babies. The staff works very closely with our
parents to plan these activities to make sure parents’ needs and interests are
met. More than 240 parents attended Socializations in 2011.
Every week, EHS staff made a 90-minute visit to the homes of enrolled families.
The home visits allowed staff to offer information to parents about their children’s
developing social and educational skills and to provide support for parents to help
them better manage their children’s health, dental and wellness needs.
Parents play a major role in the administration of United Way of Acadiana’s
Early Head Start Program. In addition to serving on the program’s Policy
Council, parents participate in meetings of the Parent Committee, the Health
Advisory Council and the Eligibility, Recruitment, Selection, Enrollment and
Attendance Committee.

Way Early Head Start Program January 9, 2011 to January 14, 2011. Thirteen (13)
areas of non-compliance were identified. The program developed a corrective
action plan and a follow-up review with the Administration of Children and Families
on August 8, 2011. Based up the follow-up review, the previously identified findings

WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
National Literacy Awareness Award: United Way of Acadiana’s 2011 Women’s
Leadership Council video won top honors in the Literacy Awareness category of the Literacy
Powerline and Literacy Funders Network National video contest.
The feature won the Literacy Awareness category due to its ability to “inspire
and motivate the community to join in the literacy effort,” according to Literary
Funders Network.
Local advertising agency BBR Creative worked alongside local director of photography,
Brian C. Miller Richard, to capture the importance of early grade literacy in a heart-tugging
show of children reading, parent testimonials and beautiful imagery. The video incorporated
Women’s Leadership Council members and their role in uniting to influence the condition of
children in Acadiana through leadership, philanthropy and advocacy. Women’s Leadership
Council members invest their donations to increase early learning opportunities for children
through support of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
The video was recognized and featured at the National Literacy
Coalition Conference and Annual Literacy Funders Network
Symposium on November 2, 2011, at the InterContinental Hotel
in Houston, Texas.

Dolly Parton’s
Imagination Library has
made a positive impact on children
and their families who reside within
United Way of Acadiana’s service
area by providing award-winning
literature to children ages birth to
five. The developmentally-appropriate
books are mailed directly to the homes of
registered children at no cost to the families.
To date, more than 7,000 children have been positively impacted through the
program, and 71% of families said that they read to their child every day since
enrolling in the program. Prior to enrolling, only 45% of parents reported
reading to their child every day.

“My family and I love the Imagination
Library. When a book is received my 2
year old son, Ian, becomes very excited.
Both of my children, Ian and Evan, are
enrolled and I think the most touching
experience that I have to share is after
receiving Look! Look!. Ian and I laid
next to Evan and read the book to him. A
couple days later while Evan was playing
on the floor, Ian went get the book, Look!
Look! and started reading it to Evan.
The best part is that he not only read to
his little brother but he was reading the
correct words! It has become a ritual in
our house that we read books before bed
and since this experience Ian reads a
book to his brother as well. ”
Krystal Boudreaux
“The Dolly Parton
books are like a
monthly gift for my
youngest daughter,
Caroline. It was not
until Caroline was
about 1 that I learned
about the program.
With two older sisters
already in school, she
was very interested
in books. Being the
youngest she has very few things that
she can call her very own. These books
are the exception. She is so excited to
get mail for herself and we often have to
read the book in the driveway because
she can’t wait to get in the house. These
books are beautiful and always seem
perfect for the stage she is in. I grew
up listening to Dolly Parton’s music but
I never knew what a spark she would
light in my family. I really appreciate
this program and the generosity of this
extraordinarily talented woman. God
bless her.”
Anita and Caroline Huval
“I would like to share my experience
with Imagination Library. My daughter
looks forward to receiving her book in
the mail. Every time she gets a book, she
says, “Mommy, Santa bought me another
book.” She is 4 years old. I read her
books and she makes me put her name
in it. Thank you for brightening my child’s
life with books!”
Nichole Barras
“Love the books, they’re really
enjoying them. Thanks so much, they’re
really helping them learn and their
imagination grow!”
Gina Patin
“I have 2 young girls enrolled in the
program and my oldest, Logan 4.5 yrs,
anxiously awaits the books and can now
find her name on the address label to
know if the book is for her or her sister.
They both enjoy story time every night
before bed. Thank you for helping to
keep their library fresh!”
Susan Krieg
“In our house we love reading, we try
hard to instill that love into our children.
My husband is a full time college student
and I work only part time so having spare
cash for books is hard to come by. We are
so thankful for Imagination Library. My
mother in law is a preschool teacher and
she says that the children love getting
their books in the mail every month, so
much so that they all bring them to
school the next day to show them off. I
can’t wait for our children to share that
same excitement. Just recently our 12
month old started really getting into
books. Her favorite is Pouch! By David
Ezra Stein. She’ll grab it and bring it to us
or when she sees it she’ll point and fuss
till we read it! We’re so proud. Thank you
so much for providing Imagination Library
in our community!”

BORN LEARNING TRAILS
Christopher LaGrange hoped to help
future Eagle Scouts get a jump-start on
learning with his own service project.
The St. Thomas More sophomore
chose to partner with United Way of
Acadiana to build a Born Learning
Trail for his Eagle Scout service
project.
“I just want to help
the community.”
“It worked out well,” LaGrange said.
LaGrange completed a Born Learning
Trail at Beaullieu Park, 410 West
Bluebird Dr.
LaGrange’s father – and troop leader –
suggested partnering with United Way
of Acadiana on the project, which has
to benefit the community. LaGrange
served as project manager responsible
for all aspects of the project.
Born Learning Trails are a series of
outdoor learning activities and games
intended to build pre-literacy skills
that are crucial to school readiness.
When doing the activities along the
trail, children are learning while
they’re playing!
Christopher worked in partnership
with Lafayette Consolidated
Government. LaGrange and his 20
volunteers installed 10 colorful signs
and created art along the sidewalk to
go along with that particular activity.
Born Learning Trails are free to use and
make the most of a child’s playtime.
DAY OF ACTION
600
More than
community members joined efforts to take action and
make an impact on UWA’s Annual Day of Action.
JUNE 21, 2011
On the longest day of the year,
volunteers completed projects and
activities designed to raise awareness,
resources and advocacy to support
improvements in education, earnings
and essentials.
Education was a large focus of the day.
More than 650 students participated
in themed shared reading experiences,
and more than 400 books were donated
to help children read at grade level.
In addition, more than 1,200 school
supplies were collected, allowing more
children to have the tools they need to
be successful in school.
But reading wasn’t the only thing
students learned about on Day of
Action. Nearly 200 students learned the
importance of money management skills
from Budget Buddies. Some 17 new
Budget Buddies were trained on Day of
Action, and volunteers also put together
300 Budget Buddy kits.
Many volunteers helped their neighbors
meet their basic needs by collecting
436 pounds of food, providing 292
additional meals to children and
families in Acadiana. They also helped
prepare food boxes and offered handson assistance to local food pantries.
Volunteers spent more than 1,700
hours advancing the common good on
Day of Action. That just goes to show
how much we can accomplish when we
all LIVE UNITED.
Reading isn’t just a
hobby for Leah Lormand.
It’s a way of life.
As an educator, Lormand knows
just how important learning to read
at an early age is to a student’s
success. So she volunteered to be
part of United Way of Acadiana’s
Day of Action Shared Reading
Experiences.
“Reading stories is the best part
of teaching,” she said. It’s that
love of reading and desire to shape
young minds that has inspired her
to volunteer to be part of United
Way of Acadiana’s education
initiatives for the past two years. In
fact, this year, she recruited three
friends to volunteer with her –
Alyson Vidacovich, Pennye Pucheu
and Katie Pucheu-Morvant.
“I’ll get even more next year,”
Lormand said. “If you want to
change your community, you have
to know it starts with you.” Her
friends and fellow volunteers feel
the same way about reading at an
early age.
Vidacovich said, “They’re like
a sponge. Their minds are fresh.
That’s the advantage of young age.”
