We invest a great deal of time and resources into recruiting, training, and retaining our volunteers. All of our services are provided by volunteers, which allows us to offer our programs to the community free of charge. At present, we have a volunteer base of approximately 250 people in service to anywhere between 400-500 senior citizens in a two-county area (Kanawha and Putnam) of West Virginia. We continually strive to improve our processes, implementing new strategies and tools for sustaining and managing a volunteer team of this size. An effective volunteer management process is the most critical part of sustaining and growing our program and services. Since our inception, our volunteers have performed 37,515 hours of service at a value benefit of $1,138,355 to our community. (Calculated by using the value of a volunteer hour in West Virginia as determined by IndependentSector.org.) 7870 0 0 Our transportation program is our single most requested service. We offer this program at no cost to those we serve. Our volunteers have provided nearly 14,394 rides to non-emergency medical appointments and quality-of-life activities (errands, non-grocery shopping, etc.) since we were established. This program is essential aid to our older neighbors for whom finding reliable transportation is a significant obstacle. Having dependable, consistent access to healthcare services, courtesy of the many volunteers engaged in our work, can be life changing for many. It also serves to help form connections that mitigate loneliness and social isolation that is rampant in our senior population. 7275 0 1275 This year, for the first time, our Honey Do Crews program moved into second place on our most requested service. This program helps our older neighbors remain safe in their homes by performing minor projects like grab bar installation, handrail construction, repair of damaged steps or ramps, interior thresholds yard work, and more. Over the past two years, this program has also been used to assist with unanticipated expenses due to economic hardship. Through this part of the Honey Do Crews program, we have assisted with the purchase of new appliances, helped prevent utility terminations, and delivered food - all on an emergent basis for people who are already on our roster of care receivers. 8668 0 3495 Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley has a collection of smaller programs offering unique services that are often difficult for our seniors to access via other agencies. These include a Library by Mail service, holiday meals delivered to their homes, Senior Christmas, friendly phone calls, and grocery shopping/food access assistance. Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley staff and volunteers have performed 14,965 acts of service falling into this category. 8668 0 3495 114206 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WV X X Jennifer Waggener 3048817253 PO Box 11623 Charleston WV 25339 Jennifer Waggener Executive Director 40 X 64217 0 0 Morgan Young Assistant Director 40 0 X 56657 0 0 LJ Fairless Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Orlando Craighead Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Janet Flanagan Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Catherine Gerichten Member 0.25 X 0 0 0 Amy Boggs Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Raymo Board Chair 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Ann Semenik Vice Chair 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Lindsay Hay Treasurer 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Whitney Humphrey Secretary 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 120874 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22486 0 0 171441 0 193927 0 0 0 0 0 10068 10068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22486 0 0 0 0 0 203995 10068 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 758 758 120873 72524 30218 18131 9247 5548 2312 1387 7085 7085 624 624 17950 7950 10000 3340 2500 0 840 6283 6283 6127 1177 4950 9003 9003 4128 4128 0 3307 1654 1653 10 10 4783 4783 3448 3448 Program Costs - Direct 12901 12901 0 0 Volunteer Management Program 5066 5066 0 0 Fundraising Expenses 4507 0 0 4507 Staff Development 663 0 663 0 0 0 0 0 220103 114206 73947 31950 99811 57442 233635 235779 0 200 28700 4783 23917 333446 317338 78 0 78 0 X 43534 57641 0 0 289834 259697 333368 317338 333446 317338 -16108 0 0 0 78 0 X 0 0 0 X 176369 199086 206608 235385 193927 1011375 176369 199086 206608 235385 193927 1011375 1011375 7 13 5448 8816 10068 24352 1035727 0.97649 0.96846 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28700 0 4783 23917 0 0 0 0 23917 Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1d The organization paid cash for a vehicle in 2025.
