A Letter From Your President

Jim Bryan

Board President
United Way of Amarillo & Canyon

Report Summary

A World-wide Pandemic made the past year very difficult for everyone in our community, our State, our Country, and the entire World. COVID was the topic you could not avoid hearing about. Many of us suffered from contracting COVID, many were hospitalized (my wife was in the hospital due to COVID for a week) and many lost their lives. I personally lost a family member and a customer who were overcome by the COVID virus.

COVID put a strain on people’s jobs, sources of income and on their mental health. Throughout this horrible time, the United Way was there helping people. Knowing that our community’s needs would be greater than ever with the loss of income by many businesses and people putting a huge strain on budgets. Our Amarillo-Canyon United Way staff and volunteers adapted to the challenges of COVID while ramping up the Campaign.  United Way of Amarillo & Canyon didn’t pause. We adapted to the environment we were in, and our organization had to continue with enthusiasm during such a unique time.

The Campaign Kickoff was held at Hodgetown and we had a great turnout despite the cold weather. For our training of Loaned Executives and other Campaign volunteers, we adapted to the needs of social distancing and masks by conducting many aspects of the campaign via ZOOM. Below are some of the successes we had despite COVID.

211 Management and Staff

Our recipient of the President’s Significant Award (yes, they were that good) was the staff at 211. Look at these statistics: in 2019 they received and processed 29,752 calls. In 2020, they received 65,518 calls (over 120% increase) and they handled this with utmost professionalism working many long hours and listening to difficult stories of hardship that people in our community were dealing with. They helped these people with services from our various United Way Partner Agencies and other local resources.

 

Youth Cabinet

Our Youth Cabinet raised over $55,000!! This is the highest amount raised by the youth that I have ever seen! What an incredible job they did led by Steve Stockton, of United Supermarkets and fellow board member. 

Virtual Telethon

We launched the area’s first ever Virtual Telethon and Brent McClure, with NewsChannel 10, was Master of Ceremonies for the event. The Telethon was a great success raising over $20,000 for our Emergency Relief Fund that totaled $486,000.    

Grants

Our Executive Director Katie Noffsker and her staff researched various programs for grants and raised over $1,196,088 from approved grants.

Energetic Board meetings

Our United Way Board meetings, although many were via Zoom, were very energetic and positive with many creative ideas from our Board. Many thanks to Pastor David Richie, lead pastor of Redeemer Christian Church and fellow board member, for starting our Board meetings with prayer asking for God’s blessing and guidance for our United Way.

Campaign results

I have been involved in United Way Campaigns for 37 years. It’s always a pleasure to meet new volunteers, attend rallies, meet business owners and spread the message of United Way. But with the Pandemic, we could not “High 5” our fellow volunteers hug people or meet with business owners as in the past, due to social distancing. Despite all these headwinds, WE RAISED OVER $3.3 Million on top of everything else during the worst of times with a global pandemic. This is attributed to our Campaign Co-Chairs Leslie Massey and Sgt. Cody Jones, as well as the hard-working United Way board, staff and the many volunteers who made it happen.

Youth Leadership

The United Way of Amarillo & Canyon Youth Leadership Cabinet (YLC) is designed to enhance the United Way mission by replicating the United Way general campaign at the high school level. YLC is comprised of about 85 students representing nine local high schools from five school districts.

The YLC is tasked with raising awareness at their schools for the needs in the community, enhancing their knowledge of the community programs supported by United Way of Amarillo & Canyon, raising funds at their schools, and then allocating those funds to United Way partner agencies servicing the most critical areas of need.

The YLC, along with numerous company and community volunteers, also host the United Way of Amarillo & Canyon’s annual Youth Day. The funds raised through the Youth Campaign are donated entirely by students from grades K-12 at campuses all across our community. During the 2020-21 year, student leadership partnered up with the United Way of Amarillo’s community impact allocation process to create a bigger impact for all programs in a year where many programs struggled. United Way of Amarillo & Canyon is proud to partner with these young adults to help plant the seed of philanthropic principles to our future leaders.

Emergency Relief Fund

The United Way Amarillo & Canyon established the COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund to provide direct aid to those affected. As the situation developed, it was clear the challenges this virus extended beyond just those infected and their loved ones, but to every citizen of Amarillo & Canyon who are living paycheck to paycheck. Given the social distancing required to combat the spread of the disease, individuals, most of whom were hourly wage earners in service industry jobs, would experience unprecedented economic hardship.

In response to this, the emergency relief fund was allocated to local 501c3 nonprofit agencies that directly impact the lives of individuals who experienced a lack of basic needs being met i.e., food, shelter, utilities, etc.

All donations to the funds were granted to community-based organizations that directly supported residents and families who were most affected by emerging health, economic, and social impacts.

Community Youth Development

Community Youth Development (CYD) is a juvenile delinquency prevention program targeted to youth in neighborhoods within the 79107 zip code. Beginning in 1996 and funded by the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services, Amarillo’s program was among the first eleven zip codes targeted statewide by the CYD program. Targeting is a measure of the high rate of violent juvenile crime and delinquency in a zip code area. CYD-funded programs are provided at no cost to youth participants who are residents of, or attend a school in the 79107 ZIP Code.

STATS:
APRIL 2020 – MARCH 2021
UNDUPLICATED YOUTH: 926
TOTAL UNITS OF SERVICE: 7,630 SESSIONS

The Amarillo 79107 program has exceeded expectations and in 2020, 99.7% of the youth in the program did not become involved with the juvenile justice system. CYD is an example of community impact and the return on taxpayer and donor investments. CYD as prevention has been phenomenally successful and provided cost savings to taxpayers potentially in the millions of dollars. Keeping kids out of the juvenile justice system and on track toward productive lives as parents, neighbors, and citizens: PRICELESS.
