FULL HOUSE
A gathering of our Women and Children
he Village of Hope is delighted to report to our friends in this
special Annual Appeal edition of the Village Voice that all 15 of our apartments in the residential building are full. We are now
providing quality case management, psychological counseling,
trauma informed care and employment, education and job training
assistance to the women enrolled in our two year Steps to Success
Transitional Living program.
To add to the excitement, the VOH and one of our newest
residents welcomed baby Siyah in the early morning hours of
September 6th and another resident is due in early 2017.
T
Of the 15 program participants; four are enrolled either
full or part-time at Wor Wic Community College, three are pursuing
their GED, twelve have secured full or part-time employment in our
community and three are receiving job skills training. Many are both
working and expanding their educational horizons. Our participants
are taking full advantage of the program’s opportunities and are taking
seriously the necessary steps to reach their goal of self-sufficiency.
The 13 children ages two months to 14 years of age are
attending day care, Headstart at the Judy Center or are enrolled at
Chipman or Glen Avenue Elementary or Salisbury Middle Schools.
As part of our “Empowering Children’s Project” the children
receive on-site tutoring, mentoring, and psychological services.
Tutoring provides student-specific activities and individualized plans
with tailored exercises for their academic growth. Our Americorps
member works closely with the Wicomico Board of Education tutor,
parents and schools to be sure that each school-age child is achieving
their grade level goals.
This milestone comes with an even greater need to raise
funds and garner support in order to sustain the programs and
services required by each and every one of our program participants,
their children and the staff resources required to operate the Village of
Hope on a daily basis. Our goal is to continue to remain at maximum
capacity in the months and years to come. That can only be realized
with the help of our generous friends and funding agencies.

Thanks to our Board members for their generous
donations of time, treasure and skills!
Mother and Daughter
Our Mission:
To promote self-sufficiency and to improve the
quality of life among at-risk women and children.
Our Vision:
To become the model organization for excellence in
transitional housing for at-risk women and children
within five years.
Our Values:
We have much to be thankful for in 2016. As always, we are grateful to
our friends who generously give to our Annual Appeal at the end of the calendar
year. That generosity, paired with the success of the Great Clue Caper in the
early spring, gives the Village of Hope (VOH) the financial momentum early in
the year to continue to meet the needs of our residents and their children.
The second half of 2016 has ushered in many new and exciting changes
for the VOH. In April, the VOH welcomed Ms. Carole McCall, LGSW as its
fulltime Social Worker providing case management to our Transitional Living
participants. She has done an excellent job of individualizing our program for
each resident.
Shortly after the beginning of our new fiscal year, we welcomed former
Board member and president, Donna Richardson, as the new Executive Director
of the VOH. Having served on the Board since 2010, Ms. Richardson was very
familiar with the VOH and ready to assume the day to day leadership of the
organization. Her past professional and management experience and vision for
the VOH will position us well into the future. Both Ms. Richardson and Ms.
McCall have been working collaboratively to insure the well-being and success
of the women and children participating in the VOH’s Steps to Success program.
That being said, I am very happy to report that for the first time in over
ten years the VOH has reached 100% capacity as of September 1st. We are now
providing programs and services to 15 women and 13 children. Our goal is to
maintain maximum capacity from this point on so we can continue to meet our
mission “to promote self-sufficiency and to improve the quality of life for at-risk
women and children.”
In addition to these accomplishments, both the Administration and
Residential buildings have undergone major renovations and improvements. A
new roof, interior and exterior paint, vinyl and carpet we added. Both buildings
have been power washed, and many of the residential apartments were given
a much needed face lift resulting in both buildings being more warm and
welcoming.
Needless to say, none of this would be possible without the generosity
of our donors and the dedication of our Board members and other volunteers.
It really does take a Village of Hope!
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Maloney, Esquire
Intergrity, Compassion, Respect,

SAVE THE DATE!
For the seventh year, the Great Clue Caper took Wicomico County
by storm as hundreds of participants tried to solve clues and outwit each
other for the chance to win $2,000. The Clue Caper started in 2010 and
has raised more than $350,000 for the Village of Hope. Each year, 50 teams
sign up to participate in a game that involves puzzles and hilarious activities
all around the county. It’s a race that takes brains, brawn and a little creative
thinking.
“We can’t thank our teams enough for participating,” said Jackie
Jennings, Clue Caper creator. “They put their heart and soul into fundraising
for us weeks before the event, and they certainly make the day exciting.
And a huge thanks to all of the local companies who sponsor the Clue
Caper, serve as clue locations and donate prizes. The Village is so lucky to
have such a huge amount of support from the community.”
Clue Caper Winners - Guardians of Salisbury
This year, teams were challenged to a game of Frisbee tic-tac-toe,
human “Hungry Hippos” and had to search for strategically placed signs
from the top of a Salisbury parking garage. Clues were written in code,
placed inside fortune cookies and hidden in Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. In
the end, team “Guardians of Salisbury,” sponsored by Mountaire Farms,
won the race. They took home $1,000 and donated $1,000 back to the
Village of Hope.
“The great thing about the Clue Caper is that anyone can
participate,” added Jennings. “It’s great for company or non-profit team
building and families can play together. Sometimes it’s the kids who solve
the puzzles because they just think differently than adults do. Even if you
don’t win, you certainly learn a lot about each other.”

THE VILLAGE CRAB FEAST IS BACK...
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
Event Chairman Extraordinaire T. J. Maloney
working the Crab Feast crowd
Over 150 Village supporters gathered at the Lake Street Campus
on July 23rd for a hugely successful revival of a Village tradition…the
annual Crab Feast. After taking a break in 2015, the event raised over
$9200 to support the women and children participating in our “Steps to
Success” Transitional Living Program.
Temperatures in the 90’s did not detract in the least from the fun
and enjoyment of sharing great food and Maryland Blue Crabs with friends.
An army of volunteers helped to make the Crab Feast a success
but special thanks go to Village President T. J. Maloney and his large family
and to Ron and Catherine Smoot-Haselnus for hosting the event and their
tireless efforts on behalf of our cause.

NEW ROOF FOR RESIDENT APARTMENTS.
MAJOR REPAIRS AND CLEAN UP FOR BOTH BUILDINGS
Thanks to a combination of grants for $61,274 from
the Maryland Affordable Housing Trust, The City of Salisbury
Community Block Grants Program and the Richard A. Henson
Foundation, we were able to replace the shingles, guttering
and downspouts on the Transitional Living Program 15-unit
apartment building. This replaces the original roof which was
over 25 years old. We are deeply grateful for the support given
to make this much-needed improvement.
Following extensive repairs resulting from an insurance
settlement for a July, 2015, flood in the administration building,
we were inspired to undertake an extensive clean-up and
maintenance operation on both buildings in July and August. We
have a great new look at the Village and we encourage you to let New Roof on Residential Building
us take you on a tour.
