HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY
Helping to rebuild lives...
Homelessness is an ever-growing concern in cities across Canada. In Kingston, there is a strong network of
agencies working together to deal with this issue. Homelessness comes in many shapes. Agencies like
Ryandale Shelter, Interval Houses in Kingston and L & A continue to work with those in need of shelter.
The United Way was able to fund a voice mail system through Home Base Housing, which
allowed those without permanent shelter access to messages from loved ones and help
with job searches. We were also able to respond when the Housing Help Centre was
close to closing its doors just before winter hit, providing many homeless individuals in
Kingston and area with a save environment free from the harsh winter elements.
“ I can safely say that the United Way’s contribution to set up this
system has provided one of the most useful and inexpensive services to
help homeless individuals and families that I have seen
in a long time.”
- Tom Greening, Executive Director, Home Base Housing

Youth with challenges …
Through our newly created Capacity Building stream of
funding, H’Art School of Smiles was given a grant to develop
an expansion of its existing programs that benefit youth with
developmental challenges. After 6 months of work, H’Art
has developed community partnerships, found a space to
house Phase II.
This will support H’Art graduates who have demonstrated
interest and ability. Art Works will enable them to become
more involved with the community directly by incorporating
creation of art products and story telling at local schools, weekend activities and after hours fundraising events, with youth at risk
providing mentoring opportunities.
This year marks a very special occasion, the 60th Annual General Meeting
of your United Way.
Wednesday, April 10, 2002
4:30 – 6:00 p.m.
Memorial Hall
Kingston City Hall
On this historic occasion, we would like to recognize two very special friends of our
United Way. They have worked tirelessly to better our community.
Mr. A. Britton Smith, Q.C. of
Homestead Land Holdings will be
honoured as Patron of the Way,
a distinction held once before by
the late Arthur Davies.
Mr. Fred Laflamme, Publisher of
the Kingston Whig Standard, will
be presented our very first Community Builder award, an award in
memory of the late Mr. Arthur Davies, one of the founders of our
United Way.
“It is through your continued support that we can review the successes
of the past year and present our plans for the future.”
UNITED WAY FUNDED MEMBER AGENCIES
2-1-1
Eliminating barriers
211 is a highly visible, easily recalled number that would make a critical connection between individuals and families in need of information with the appropriate community based organizations and government agencies. 211
would make it possible for people in need to navigate the complex changing maze of service agencies and programs more efficiently. This would be especially important for people who face barriers to accessing information.
Our United Way will work closely with the Community Information Centre, HRDC,
Trillium, the City and many other partners to bring this project to Kingston and area.
At this time, it is anticipated that it will take approximately two years of planning and activity to implement a rollout in 2003/04.
M E S S A G E
This past year has had many highlights most of which are included in
this report and perhaps the most
notable highlight is the lack of any
serious problems. In case this is
perceived as a negative it should be
noted that it is difficult to run an organization such as the United Way in
today’s climate without problems and
difficulties and, from time to time,
some serious issues. Over the past
year our staff have definitely run up
against problems but their skill and
positive approach has reduced these
problems to minor ones.
Our board has performed extremely
well in giving the staff the support
they needed to carry out the work.
The board has remained in the background as far as the general public is
concerned but has worked extremely
hard in areas of policy, funding and
planning. Between the Staff and the
F R O M
T H E
Board we have built an organization
that it is easy to be proud of. We have
created an image in the community that
identifies us as an organization that is
leading the way in important areas of
community development and social
change. We are now being asked to
take responsibility for initiatives ahead
of schedule and our success and credibility has spawned a demand that exceeds even our greatest hopes and
expectations just a few short years
ago.
The future for our organization is almost limitless. In a time where there
have been strong moves to turn responsibility for community services
back to the community and out of Government's hands, we will undoubtedly
be called upon to assist in taking our
community to a point where we truly
have the capacity to ensure that the
people of this community not be left in
P R E S I D E N T
need or feel that there is nowhere to
turn for help.
This year marks the end of my term of
office as President of the Board and I
am happy to leave the position feeling
that we have accomplished so much
over the last two years and knowing
that we have a Board and Staff that can
be viewed as a model for other communities in how to be a positive influence
in their communities.
I would like to thank all of the staff who
have made it a pleasure to fill this position and the current and past Board
members whose contributions have
brought us to this point. I can honestly
say that in leaving the position I have a
wonderful feeling of accomplishment
and no regrets.

INVESTING IN OUR YOUTH

F u t u r e s ,
t o d a y . . .
As part of our commitment to respond to new and emerging needs in our community, the United Way was able to invest
in youth in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington. We strategically invested your dollars in additional programs and services designed to have the maximum impact on the lives of those at risk.
These programs included In School mentoring through Big Brothers, enhanced support of the Boys
and Girls Club, drug addiction and rehabilitation counseling in elementary schools through KAIROS,
assistance for youth at risk through Youth Diversion.
The United Way helps to give our youth a healthy start in life. We
do this continuously through our ongoing network of programs
through our Community Care Network of member agencies.
We continue to invest in programs through Big Brothers, Big
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
In addition to a significant 60th anniversary for our United Way, at a personal
level, April marks the anniversary of my
third year in Kingston. Over the past 3
years, I have had the privilege of living
and participating in a wonderful caring
community.
When I look back over the past three
years, which have been extraordinary, I
can see the significant strides we have
made as an organization. We have
increased our annual campaign revenue over 25%, raising a record $1.9million.
We have successfully eliminated a
deficit that made up 40% of our revenue
without cutting allocations to our member agencies. We have been responsive to emerging community issues and
needs, expanding our funding streams
to include non-member. We have
reviewed and strengthened our fund
distribution process, creating a Community Care Network of services, a
funding stream to allow for one-time
grants. We have reaffirmed our mission statement and continue to work
towards mobilizing community resources to come up with local solutions to significant issues like homelessness, youth, information, early
years..the list goes on.
This could not be accomplished without a small but mighty staff team, a
strong Board of Directors and an
army of volunteers who have worked
so hard with one goal in mind – to
make our community a better place to
live and work in.
My passion for the United Way continues to grow. Today, more than ever,
the United Way provides a strong
community force that pulls together
people from the private sector,
government, education and labour - together, we make a difference in the lives of one in three.
In a time of growing need, isolation, cutbacks and an everchanging landscape, the United
Way continues to help people live
with hope, dignity and a sense of
belonging. Thank you.
Bhavana Varma

"Thank you" are two of the most beautiful words in the English language.
That's why I have said that many times
in the last 12 months.
I'm grateful - and proud - of what we
have accomplished together.
We faced many challenges when we
kicked off our campaign on Sept. 12:
The terrorist attacks, the subsequent
war in Afghanistan, an economic slowdown and many local layoffs. Things
didn't look good from Day One.
Despite all these difficulties, our donors,
volunteers and staff made our campaign the most successful in our United
Way's 60-year history.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
C A M PA I G N
While I'm happy about the success of
our campaign, I'm also grateful for the
fond memories that you have given me.
I'll always remember my many visits to
Alcan, DuPont, the Ministry of Health,
the Kingston-Frontenac Public Library,
Smurfit, Lafarge, Union Gas, Empire
Life, Norcom, Goodyear, Queen's University, schools, retirement homes,
banks and many other work places.
I'll treasure my hundreds of chats and
phone calls with our campaign cabinet
members, canvassers, staff and donors. It was a thrill - and a privilege - to
see so many people working together
to make Kingston a better place.
C H A I R
the Ministry of Health offices, the
hamburgers at Union Gas, the chilli
at the public library and Hotel Dieu
Hospital. Believe it or not, I had to
buy new pants half way through the
campaign. Nobody had warned me
that working for the United Way campaign was such a weighty undertaking.
But it has been a great year.
Thanks for the $1.9 million.
Thanks for the great memories.
And thanks for my new 31-inch
waist.

United Ways have a long tradition of supporting programs and services
that provide direct service to people of all ages, including children,
youth, seniors. Success By 6 is a strategically created network of programs and services to young children and their families. It is based on
the simple principle that much of a child’s development that determines
future success or failure happens before the age of six.

When you leave a legacy, you make a difference in the lives that follow…
The United Way is proud to be a sponsor of this community based public awareness initiative of the Canadian Association of
Gift Planners. The program encourages people from all walks of life to make gifts from their estates to non-profit organizations of their choice. The program works with professional advisors and non profit organizations to encourage planned giving
to a charity of choice.
UNITED WAY ENDOWMENT FUND
Investment for a better future...
Through the United Way network, thousands of volunteers join together each year to provide services that enrich the lives of
our friends and neighbours in KFL&A. The United Way Endowment Fund has been established to ensure that this tradition of
caring continues well in to the future, for the sake of our children and our children’s children. Income earned from a gift to the
Endowment Fund will be used to fund new and emerging needs in our community.
The capital of the Endowment Fund will remain intact and the investment income earned will be used for programs and services in the years to come. Through planned gifts - bequests, gifts of life insurance, annuities – you can make a difference.
The United Way is fortunate to have a unique alliance with the Community Foundation of Greater Kingston. Through a strong
investment committee, assets are pooled to maximize the return on the principal of the United Way Endowment Fund.

MESSAGE FROM THE TREASURER
Like the agencies we support, we
continually strive to make optimal
use of our financial resources, and
we can’t help but be excited about
the financial milestones we have
accomplished this past year…
…We achieved a current year surplus that eliminated our cumulative
deficit position, the conclusion of a
four-year budget strategy, and we
move forward into the coming year
in a surplus position.
…We developed a policy for the
creation of a contingency reserve and have budgeted for a
transfer to this reserve in the
upcoming budget year.
…We maintained a balance in
our short-term investments
throughout the entire year,
eliminating the need to borrow
from our bank line of credit.
…And most importantly, we
continue to substantially increase allocation dollars to
both member and non-member
agencies.
Thanks to staff, volunteers and
a caring community, we have
had a successful financial year
and we look forward to an even
more exciting “2002”.
