A LETTER
A MESSAGE FROM
FROM THE
THE BOARD
BOARD
CHAIR
CHAIR
Our agency manages numerous sources of funding. Because
of this, accountability is ever present, and very important to us. The
staff has been entrusted to assure that funds are disbursed according to
program guidelines for each funding source.
It was a very busy year of uncertainty and change. I am
pleased to say that in spite of the challenges the agency maintained the
pace, and did not allow customers in need to be affected during this
process.
We are a private, non-profit, who will maintain focus of not
only making a difference, but making a difference for a lifetime. As
we continue our plight to attack poverty, build self-esteem, and create
strong communities, we ask your support through advocacy, partnerships, and increase of capacity for the programs that we operate, and
the people that we serve.
We look forward to building our future together, and hope
that we can count on you in the days to come.
The Community Action Agency of South Alabama, inclusive of
Baldwin, Escambia, Clarke, Monroe, Conecuh, Wilcox and Marengo
Counties, is an entity that has produced results and gained the confidence of many within its geographical service area. As its Executive Director (CEO), I would like for you to join us as we celebrate the accomplishments made over the past year.
A MESSAGE FROM
THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
The 2011-2012 Annual Report will provide highlights of change
through job creation and enhancing self-sufficiency. Our many programs
have been instrumental in establishing positive outcomes, as well as,
changing the focus for individuals who saw little hope.
Maintaining accountability for the funds received through our
agency, while we helped people and changed lives, was an ongoing focus
for our Board of Directors and other committees that so diligently
worked throughout our agency.
The unrelenting duties of volunteers who served did not go unnoticed. We are on a steady path toward maintaining family stability,
while endeavoring daily to assure that all of our practices are transparent
and sound.
In keeping with the promise of Community Action, we continue
to look forward to great achievements for our clients/customers, and the
benefits that will be reaped within our seven (7) county service area. Because of our ongoing focus, and genuine care for those we continue to
represent, this will be achievable.
Thank you for all that you have done!

Head Start & Pre-K Enrollment
The goal of Head Start, funded by Health and Human Services, and Pre-K, funded by Office of School Readiness, is
to provide comprehensive services for low-income, pre-school children. As a collaborative effort the two programs work together in assuring that eligible children are prepared for their next level of educational training.
Head Start offers services to 3-5 year olds, and Pre-K provides services to children age 4. The graphs indicate nearly 100% of our children served during the 2011 – 2012 school year were from families whose income fell below
the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). This figure includes families identified as homeless, public assistance recipients,
income eligible families and children in foster care. The Pre-K program consists of 2 blended classrooms, and 1
stand alone classroom, with a total enrollment of 53. Head Start consists of 27 classrooms, inclusive of the 2
blended classrooms.

provides for the effective exchange of valuable information about the child and their family. Interaction
with families recognize the customs and beliefs of the children and parents. Head Start offers parents opportunities and support for growth, so that they will be able to identify their own strengths, needs, interests, and find their own solutions.

“Shaping our Future Through Youth Activities...
Educating, Feeding, Developing
This program provided nutritious meals and educational and cultural development activities to children
in a safe and nurturing environment. The children learned the concept of sharing and the counselors
stressed the importance of teamwork through fundamental activities. The lessons were centered on
building self-esteem, understanding differences in people, proper etiquette, rational thinking, dreaming
and working toward a healthy future. These services were provided to 118 children living in Baldwin
County and Escambia County.

JOBS Training Program
When I came to Community Action Agency in December 2011, I
was lost. I had no idea what I was doing or would be doing. DHR
sent me here as part of their job training program. It was all very
new to me, and to be honest, I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t believe I could work in an office with professional, educated people.
I came for the interview with Ms. McCall. As I was telling her of
my past, and that I’ve never worked in an office environment, I
was thinking, she’s not going to take me in or let me stay, but
then she said “when can you start.” Since that day, my life has
changed.
Someone once told me “if you surround yourself by positive, you too will want to be positive”. My selfesteem improved, belief in myself, which I have never done, is there. I started believing in myself simply
because they believe in me. Community Action has become my second family, if not my first. Being here,
and being a part of them and what they do, has made me want to be a better, smarter person, and not just
because they want it for me, but because I, too, want a better life. I received my GED in April, 2013. Who
would have ever thought I could do it? Certainly not me, but I did.
Today, I am no longer lost. I’m not sure exactly where I am going or how fast I’ll get there, all I know for
sure, is I want to be better and smarter, and it’s all because of this one group of people in Daphne, Alabama
on Pollard Road at a place called Community Action Agency. They have made a difference in my life, and my
future. For them, and that, I am and will be forever grateful.
L.S.

Community Action Agency The Senior Awareness Initiative was designed to celebrate and create an environof South Alabama’s
Senior Awareness Initiative ment for individuals sixty (60) years and
older. The thought process behind this
event was to announce to the communities that senior citizens are the source and
beginning of all communities. Caring for
them and making sure they have what
they need as it relates to their physical,
emotional, and mental wellbeing has been
a direct goal for the Community Action
Agency of South Alabama. During this
process, a total of one hundred five (105)
vendors made themselves available to
offer goods and services, accomplishing
the intended goal of the project.
There were over three hundred (300) documented participants, with numerous others receiving information and referrals. The participants were provided medical services, food and nutrition, utility assistance, homeless housing
assistance and information, financial management, energy counseling, environmental safety tips, and much more.
Some present also started the process of
learning about small business entrepreneurship in an effort to provide a way to
supplement their fixed income.
