Area 2010 Annual Report Marshfield United Way Perception is powerful, it shapes our opinions and actions. Many view Marshfield area’s quality of life the same as a standard post card scene, but that’s not the true picture of needs in the community. The need isn’t always obvious. We have neighbors who no longer have jobs or are facing illness. Our family members are striving to make ends meet on part-time work and send their children to bed hungry. For all these residents and thousands more, United Way programs literally change and save lives because of you. Never was it more necessary for all of us to give advocate and volunteer. Thanks to you and the volunteers, community programs and generous contributors, United Way creates hope and provides solutions so that individuals and families can become self-sufficient and in turn all of us can enjoy a safer, strong community— and we can all be proud of that post card picture. February - April, 358 individuals who earned less than $56,000 used free tax preparation from trained volunteers organized by AARP, the City of Marshfield Parks & Recreation Department. This is the first year United Way joined this partnership, scheduling appointments to allow volunteers serve a wider population than just residents older than 65. 358 Individuals Taxes Prepared For Free

Thirty six volunteers from a cross-section of the community participated in the Impact Process and recommended funding for 33 local programs (listed on the back page). Each volunteer invests 22 hours receiving training and reviewing applications, meeting with each organization, asking questions and evaluating efficiency. “The most important factors to consider are the community’s needs and how well prepared an organization is to meet the need. The greatest challenge this year was dealing with our continued economic issues which have increased the demand for basic services, which put pressure on all programs,” said Lori Belongia, Community Impact Chair.

United Way office moves downtown A recommendation from United Way’s 2008 strategic plan was to move to a central location to become a more visible part of the community. After two years of looking, the United Way office moved to 156 S. Central Avenue. It’s an affordable location that doubled our space and has created walk in traffic the staff has never seen before.

Community works towards common good despite challenging times “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~Winston Churchill As President of Marshfield Area United Way, I continue to be truly amazed by what the people of the Lori Gropp Marshfield area have 2010 Board President given; not only monetarily but also of their time and talents. It is because of all this generosity that United Way and its’ Partner Programs are able to reach out and help so many people. I want to personally thank each of you for your concern about the community and the generosity that you have shown. “The difference between a helping hand and an outstretched palm is a twist of the wrist.” ~Laurence Leamer, King of the Night 2010 was another economically challenging year for many people. Unfortunately, some people who in the past were able to give to United Way, were now using Partner Program services. Fortunately, through the efforts of many individuals and local businesses we were able to continue to help individuals and families in many different ways. “It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little - do what you can.” ~Sydney Smith Thank you to the more than 170 volunteers who help carry out our mission to increase our community’s capacity to care for one another. Each one of these volunteers, no matter the
size of their contribution, is vital to helping United Way achieve its mission to create opportunities for a good life for all by focusing on community and basic needs, the needs of families and seniors, and the support of youth initiatives. If you haven’t volunteered, I invite you to join us and help to make a difference in our community. There are many opportunities in various areas for volunteers to help; I am confidant that most people could find an area of interest or expertise to lend their time and talents. “Instead of counting your days, make your days count.” ~Author Unknown I have truly enjoyed and been honored to work with the dedicated staff and United Way Board members the past 6 years. Together, we have truly demonstrated what it means to LIVE UNITEDTM, and have made the Marshfield area a better place for many people. “Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. ~Vince Lombardi As we look to the future, we know there will always be challenges, but challenges are always easier when you have a team working with you. Marshfield Area United Way has a strong team of people working together toward the same goal. We are well positioned and optimistic about the future. We are very fortunate to be part of such a caring and giving community of people. Thanks again to each of you for making United Way and the Marshfield area the great place it is!!
Marshfield area’s ‘charitable heart’ beats strong for neighbors in need This past year as United Way Drive Chairs has reinforced what a marvelous community we live in. In addition to the outstanding medical, education, recreation, business and Tom & Laura Drendel retail services the 2010 Drive Chairs Marshfield area provides, we have our greatest resource – the people. Bob Hope once said, “If you haven’t got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.” We aren’t doctors, but we can verify that the hearts of Marshfield area residents are in GREAT shape.
In a time of economic uncertainty, our community gave unselfishly to help their neighbors, with many businesses exceeding their previous campaign totals. Because of these donations and the dedicated volunteers who provide leadership in their workplaces, the programs supported by the United Way will be funded completely! Our experiences this past year have opened our eyes to some of the hidden suffering our neighbors are living with and to the extraordinary commitment of the people providing the needed services. United Way funded programs are effective and vital to the overall health of our area. Our most sincere “thank you” - the heart of our community is most certainly large and strong. Thank you!
Our mission is to increase our community’s capacity to care for one another.

Campaign for the Common Good The 2010 campaign focused on the challenges and perspective of Marshfield area’s quality of life and uniting together to help every resident have the opportunities for a good life. Kick off set the tone when attendees were given a scenario, similar to real-life situations of a budget stretched to its limit, and challenged to balance it with the help of local services. They faced difficult choices as obstacles arose. Drive Chairs Tom & Laura Drendel lead the campaign by sharing their passion to help others and the power every gift has to make a difference in creating lasting positive change. More than ever residents are forced into tough situations where they need to reach out and ask for help. Compared to the prior year, residents seeking help for basic needs have increased 40 percent. This made it even more important for residents to give what they could afford. Individuals and businesses answered this call generously with contributions totaling $889,263. This will be enough to fully fund local Partner Programs serving residents who live and work in Arpin, Auburndale, Chili, Granton, Greenwood, Loyal, Marshfield, Neillsville, Pittsville, Spencer and Stratford.

The Marsh Society: 2010 Leaders in Giving Each year, The Marsh Society members give so that others won’t be forgotten. You are the reason for another successful campaign to advance the common good. One of the qualities of leadership is having a sense of purpose that directs a person to use his or her strengths to help others. Leadership Giving offers the opportunity to be a part of something so much greater than any of us can achieve alone. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a Leader.” ~ John Quincy Adams
