We invest a great deal of time and resources in recruiting, training and retaining our volunteers. It is because of those volunteers that we are able to offer free services to our older neigbors who need a little assistance now and then. At present we have a volunteer base of approximatley 250 people in service to anywhere from 400-500 senior citizens in a two-county area (Kanawha and Putnam). In FY2023, we implenented several new resources to help us be both more effective in recruitment and more efficient in sustaining and managing a force of this size. Since ourinception, our volunteers have performed 29,180 hours at a value benefit of volunteer hour to our community of $699,439 (calculation source:IndependentSector.org for WV). 24217 Our transportation program is our single most popular service. We offer this program at no cost to those we serve. We do incur costsof mieage reimbursement in some cases for administration. Our volunteers, at their own expense, have provided more than 5700 round trips to medical appointments. This program is essential to aid our older neighbors in taking care of their health- whether through preventive measures or through treatment and follow up. Transportaiton is the single biggest obstacle facing our seniors asthey strive to age in their own place. Having reliable, consistentaccess to healthcare, courtesy of the many volunteers who drive themto and from appointments, can be life changing for many. It also serves, secondarily, as an avenue of connection to their community, lessening the impacts of social isolation. 13564 6777 Our Grocery Shopping assistance program affords our older neighbors who face transportationand/or mobility obstacles access to needed food and supplies. The program works in a multiple of ways, designed to meet the needs of those we serve. Among the most popular and most requested service is out shop and drop initiative where we place grocery orders onlinefor our client, deliver the items to their home, and are then reimbursed for the cost by theclient. This continues to be our fastest growing program. In many cases, we pre-pay the the grocery orders and the care receiver reimburses the program with a check for the totalspent. We offer this service because our older clients are often unable to get to the store themselves and are wary of using their credit cards online, have no access to a computer to place orders themselves, or pay with EBT benefit cards. 15700 1611 101633 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 4 true false false false false true true false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false true true true false WV X X Jennifer Waggener 3048817253 PO BOX 11623 CHARLESTON WV 25339 X Jennifer Waggener Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 51366 0 0 Morgan Young Volunteer & Comm director 40.00 0.00 X 44304 0 0 L J Fairless Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janet Flanagan Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Orlando Craighead Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Whitney Humphrey Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Raymo Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Campbell Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Virginia Slack Board Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carrie Jones Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Hensley Board Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Catherine Gerichten Board Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 95670 0 0 0 false false false 19566 187043 206609 Reimb Grocery Program 900099 6777 6777 Senior Christmas 900099 1611 1611 8388 5448 5448 19566 220445 13836 0 0 95670 39274 36759 19637 18835 9418 9417 9470 9470 900 900 3721 2000 1721 17135 5000 10000 2135 3600 3000 600 7939 7939 6018 6018 155 155 2316 2316 Program Expenses 36923 36923 Fundraising Event Direct Exp 3052 3052 205734 101633 77556 26545 53629 64744 219655 225090 28 1070 274382 289834 -1825 -1825 0 X 276207 289834 276207 289834 274382 289834 14711 -1084 0 X true X false true false X 96469 144403 176369 199086 206608 822935 96469 144403 176369 199086 206608 822935 9352 813583 257 55 7 13 5448 5780 828715 0.98170 0.99410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Pedal wh Pur 19566 19566 1825 1227 Annual Appea 19566 19566 1825 1227 3052 16514 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Our Organizations Form 990 is prepared by our Executive Director, with input and review by our Board Treasurer and members of our Finance Committee, which includes two CPAs.
