Dr. Peter Morris, Incoming Executive Director, Urban Ministries of Wake County
Now is an exciting time for the Urban Ministries family! Dr. Peter Morris will be joining Urban Ministries on December 4th, following the retirement of Anne Burke, who has served as executive director for the past 24 years. In his new role, Dr. Morris will lead Urban Ministries’ mission to serve Wake County residents who are hungry, homeless, and in need of health care. Dr. Morris has worked in Wake County for more than 26 years and is currently serving as medical director, compliance officer and director of behavioral health for Wake County Human Services. He brings extensive leadership experience to his new role. In addition to his medical degree from
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Dr. Morris holds a master’s in public health (epidemiology) from UNC, and a master’s of divinity from Duke University. Morris is also an adjunct associate professor at UNC. He serves as president of the North Carolina Pediatric Society Foundation and is past president of the Pediatric Society. Previously, Dr. Morris served as president of the Wake County Medical Society and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Wake Med. Morris has received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Child Health from GlaxoSmithKline and the J. Michael Weeks Humanitarian Award.
“I am so pleased to be joining Urban Ministries of Wake County and am honored to follow Anne Burke as Executive Director,” says Dr. Morris. Urban Ministries is a leader in addressing hunger, homelessness, and health care for the uninsured. I am thrilled that my position will allow me to take a leadership role in these important efforts for our community.”
To be happy is as simple as

a message from Anne In another busy year at Urban Ministries, we addressed hunger, homelessness and health care in unprecedented numbers and with great compassion. In the Crisis Support Program nearly 22,000 men, women and children got a week’s worth of groceries, which for the first time included almost 2,000 pounds of fresh produce from our volunteer-produced, raised bed garden cultivated, harvested and weighed by Drs. Majors and Ferdon. More than 400 people accessed employment services through the JobLink office. Another 2,200 folks got emergency prescription assistance through our partnership with Fill In The Gaps (FIGS). And an additional 2,400 families received social work referrals. At Helen Wright, 241 homeless women found a caring and supportive program which helped more than 120 of them leave the streets and move into stable housing. They experienced the love of congregations and other groups who brought them home cooked meals day after day,
LET’S GIVE A HAND FOR THE BAND!
holiday gifts at a time when homeless people feel particularly alone, and the encouragement of staff who helped them believe in themselves as much as we do. The Open Door Clinic performed the miracle of restoring health to close to 1,600 uninsured men and women suffering from chronic and often debilitating illnesses. By diagnosing and treating illnesses, getting patients on medication regimens and helping them to self-manage their health, our staff, volunteer providers and nurses put people back on track. Our on-site pharmacy dispensed almost 44,000 free prescription medications, donated by pharmaceutical companies; these medications are the cornerstone to managing chronic illness. With the help of the Band Together effort the Open Door Clinic was able to capture new patients, thereby opening the door to more of the 123,000 uninsured people in Wake County.
I wish I could say that upon my retirement all the problems Urban Ministries was established to address had been solved, that hunger, homelessness and access to health care had taken a back seat to prosperity and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. While that’s not true, what is true is that, due to the many contributions of a multitude of people and organizations in Wake County, more than 100,000 families have received help over that “bump in the road” and moved to selfsufficiency. I am leaving the people in our community in good hands for those following me to continue renewing lives and restoring hope. Sincerely,
Anne Burke, Executive Director Emeritus
4,000 attendees + $566,000 = 420 new Open Door Clinic Patients The hard work and dedication by Urban Ministries and Band Together has paid off! The May 12th concert raised more than $566,000 for the Urban Ministries of Wake County Open Door Clinic – a record-breaking total to support health care for 420 new patients. The Clinic is the oldest and largest free clinic in Wake County and provides primary care, including all prescriptions, lab work, and referrals to low-income, uninsured adults. The 4,000 attendees and 190 sponsors helped raise the most money ever raised by Band Together for a nonprofit partner. The Open Door Clinic will provide 420 new patients with physician
visits, lab work, and prescriptions over the next two years. Last year, the Open Door Clinic was able to provide 7,000 medical visits for patients in need, in addition to filling 44,000 prescriptions. Many thanks to the amazing sponsors and guests who made the concert at Cary’s Booth Amphitheatre such a success. Thanks also to the B-52’s, Southern Culture on the Skid and BIG Something for a great show!

health care
The transition has been hard and long – and is still ongoing - but Urban Ministries is proud to announce that, as of July, the Open Door Clinic has gone “live” with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) implementation. Thanks to a generous collaborative grant from BCBSNC and AllScripts, named NCPATH, along with the N.C. Office of Rural Health and Community Care (United Way’s Teaming for Technology program), 750 physicians in the state’s unaffiliated practices are moving into a world where they can share information across a statewide information exchange. EMR provides the ability for providers to quickly and effectively share medical data and records, especially in the case of referrals. Urban Ministries offers a huge thank you to staff, clinicians, volunteers, and interns who have put countless hours and valuable effort into learning this new system!
“Having electronic records means we can share targeted clinical information within the practice, and eventually with our partners in the greater medical community. It will also allow us to systematically evaluate our medical work, and our patients’ needs.” - Dr. Gary Greenberg
value of donation The value of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina NCPATH grant for the EMR Allscripts software for five years is $25,201.20. The value of the Office of Rural Health and Community Care grant is $18,886.06. $5,000 is paid to the NC Health Information Exchange as a licensing fee to share information in their network. The remainder, $13,886.06, is being used to purchase computers, scanners and additional capacity for our local area network.
Have you heard about our new Solar Panels?
Urban Ministries continues to go green! NC WARN recently installed solar panels at the Helen Wright Center for Women. WARN is a nonprofit that uses clean efficient energy for climate protection and has launched a campaign to install solar systems for nonprofits that serve the state’s neediest residents. The panels will help reduce operating costs at the shelter and allow Urban Ministries to apply more funds toward other services for our neighbors in need.

hunger
homelessness
“Someone told me about Urban Ministries, and when I got out of the hospital, I came here. You helped me with my prescriptions and told me how to become a patient in your clinic. I just want to thank you. And as soon as I am back on my feet, I plan to give back to you.” - Urban Ministries Client
At Urban Ministries, we believe that anyone can make a difference, and that many people would if they could but do not know how. That’s why we started the KidsCAN Program. The KidsCAN program provides an opportunity for the young people of our community to help those less fortunate than themselves. The program allows kids the opportunity to learn the meaning of giving back through food drives as well as to gain awareness of the needs of other children in our community. These children are our neighbors in need in our schools, on our soccer teams, in our own neighborhoods. Don’t know how to help? Here’s some easy ways that you can have fun and raise money to help feed hungry kids and take a stand against poverty.
• Hold a food drive! - If you’re having a birthday, holiday, barbeque or any other kind of party, ask your guests to bring food for the Food Pantry instead of bringing gifts! - Get your parents or a group of friends together and go door to door for donations. It’s fun, there’s always a need for more food in our pantry, and people are pretty wiling to give up a few cans of food! • Open up a lemonade stand! - On a hot day, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold cup of sweet lemonade. There’s also nothing better than donating your proceeds to an awesome cause like Urban Ministries.
• Donate some of your birthday gifts! - Instead of receiving gifts on your birthday, ask for cans of food or money donations to give to Urban Ministries • Hold a book drive! - Collect used books for Urban Ministries! Book donations for the waiting rooms will make kids feel more comfortable and at home while they wait with their parents to receive services. • Have a yard sale! - Do you and your family have a lot of old toys that you don’t play with anymore? Do you and your family have clothes that you don’t wear? Set up a yard sale with your family and raise money for Urban Ministries!
Remember, KidsCAN make a difference!
Turning the SPOTLIGHT on others The ‘U’ in volunteer and p‘U’lse At Urban Ministries of Wake County, we alleviate poverty by addressing health, hunger and homelessness. $.94 cents of every dollar contributed goes directly to serving our neighbors in need. Because every penny counts, funds for marketing are limited. We are fortunate to partner with GlaxoSmithKline and the PULSE program, which places Glaxo associates with nonprofit agencies for three- to six-month assignments. PULSE volunteers have been instruld pa Ko Kevin mental in improving efficiency in the Open Door Clinic by developing a phone tree, developing and selecting calendaring software for appointments, and developing and implementing a lab-result letter writing tool. These projects continue to support Clinic operations today.
spotlight on Wines for Humanity
We are thrilled to have Kevin Kopald on board. Kevin works in sales but enjoys making and editing videos. When we assured him that we needed YouTube quality and not Spielberg quality, he signed on. Kevin has produced a general agency video, we call “PROUD” that illustrates the accomplishments of the agency, a “how-to make a basic bag” video for our Food Panty, and is working on other videos like food drive interviews, a virtual tour and an introductory video for our new KidsCAN Campaign, which will involve more children in volunteering to change our community. A retirement video for our executive director, Anne Burke, has also been produced and was shown at her retirement party to summarize both the history of Anne’s work as well as remarks about her journey. All video components can be updated as statistics change or new photos are needed. Kevin has terrific marketing instincts and brainstorms with us on every project. Urban Ministries has a small staff. Our PULSE partners are a great fit with our team. Their expertise and support have enabled Urban Ministries to do more than we ever imagined. Thank you, PULSE!
If you have a passion for wine and a heart for others, Wines for Humanity has the answer. Since 2007, Wines for Humanity has focused on raising money to combat homelessness. The funds raised go directly back into the community to benefit the homeless. In Wake County, Wines for Humanity works directly with Urban Ministries. On average, $2.00 of each bottle sold goes directly to our agency. Since 2007, Wines for Humanity has raised $180,000 thorough sales of wine and in-home wine tastings. In addition, Wines for Humanity has donated $650,000 to nonprofits through proceeds from wine tasting gift certificates at silent auctions.
The next time you need a great bottle of wine check out http://winesforhumanity.com. Gather some friends and catch up through an in-home wine tasting that entertains and educates guests about the joy of fine wines. If you would like to schedule a tasting with us to raise funds for Urban Ministries, mention the newsletter article and Wines for Humanity will provide a bonus bottle of wine just for them in addition to their seven bottle sample! Please contact Jane Cones at jane@ winesforhumanity.com or Christine Worsham at cworsham@winesforhumanity.com . What could be better than good wine for a good cause?

Honoring a Dear Friend On September 29, 2012 our community lost a true friend. Cheryl Ann Hall passed away after a brief but devastating illness. Cheryl was my long time friend and neighbor. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and she was a shining light to thousands of people who were part of the Bible Application Class that Cheryl led for many years. Under her apt and dedicated leadership the Bible Application Class put their beliefs into action in many parts of Wake County and throughout the world. Hungry families were fed, homeless men and women were clothed, poor children received holiday gifts as a result of the tireless efforts of one woman who believed we could move mountains if we had faith and the commitment to serve our sisters and brothers in the world. Cheryl’s relationship with Urban Ministries through the Bible Application Class goes back more than 12 years to a Christmas morning at the South Wilmington Street Center in 2000. Cheryl asked what BAC could do for the homeless. I said the men needed work boots. On that Christmas morning, over 200 men got to open a brand new pair of boots in their exact size—thanks to Cheryl and the hard work and donations of the members of Bible Application. In recent years, BAC has donated over 80,000 pounds of food to be distributed through our Food Pantry to hungry families and children in Wake County—almost 70,000 meals that have helped families make it through each summer when children are not in school. Cheryl will be missed by many. Our only consolation is she has gone to rest in the arms of the God she so loved and so well served. - Anne Burke
the best FIGS to preserve When you are walking around Urban Ministries, you might hear folks talking a lot about FIGS. They are not talking about the delicious fruit. Instead we are talking about FIGS, Filling in Gaps, a Wake County nonprofit that was established to combat a serious problem, the need for prescription medicines for low-income individuals. FIGS has been a valuable organization in Wake County for nearly 30 years and provides prescriptions for individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford them. Filling In Gaps also works by providing funds to purchase medications (not available through pharmaceutical company donation programs) for Open Door Clinic patients. In nearly 30 years, FIGS has raised more than $2 million dollars, which has aided 33,000 Wake County residents, including more than 1,000 each year at Urban Ministries.
Hen-side D’Coop News This past spring, Urban Ministries partnered with Tour D’Coop to present the annual urban chicken tour. The May 19th event and preview cocktail party raised $20,000 for Urban Ministries and the people we serve! The money raised will help Urban Ministries provide for the thousands of Wake County residents who seek food, shelter, and medical care every year. The Tour was started in 2005 as a way for Raleigh residents to show off their
hens and coops, and today the event has “hatched” into a one-day garden tour that encompasses 25 coops and thousands of interested visitors. If you would like to purchase a T-shirt from the event please visit http://www. tourdcoop.com/about/order-2012-tourdcoop-t-shirts.html. The sales from the T-shirt will go directly to Urban Ministries’ services.

— Montaldo, a member of one of the 8,000 families served in the Food Pantry each year
Joelyn Harrington is a dedicated member of the Urban Ministries Board and Development Committee Chair. She was a key leader in the Urban Ministries/ Band Together Partnership. What inspired you to become involved in Urban Ministries’ and Band Together’s efforts to raise $552,000 for the Open Door Clinic? As the Chair of the Development Committee, I saw this as an opportunity to do together what we could not accomplish on our own. I also saw this as a great way to spread awareness of what we do at Urban Ministries to a younger audience than what we typically reach with most of our events and fundraisers. Band Together does a terrific job of promoting their nonprofit partners especially through social media. The publicity Urban Ministries received before and at the event took our message to thousands of people. I know that we have gained new donors and fans through our partnership with Band Together! What have you enjoyed most about the UM/Band Together Partnership? What I enjoyed the most was the night of the event. Knowing the hours and hours of tremendous work that went into the planning and fundraising for the event, seeing everything come together on that beautiful night at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre was awesome. Band Together worked hard, we at Urban Ministries worked hard, and it all culminated in a fun, perfect evening that raised a great deal of money to help those who are poor and uninsured in Wake County. Also, it helped spread the message of what we do to help alleviate poverty every day. Tell us about your work with Wells Fargo and Wells Fargo’s involvement with Urban Ministries. I am a Senior Commercial Relationship Manager for Wells Fargo. I am very fortunate to work for a company that is committed to giving back to the community. Wells Fargo has been a strong supporter of Urban Ministries for many years through our monetary grants from the Foundation, and our employee volunteers. Wells Fargo allows me the time to serve on this Board of Directors as well as the Executive Committee, and chair the Development Committee. We are supported and encouraged to serve in our communities. I am very passionate about this agency and our commitment to feed the poor, house the homeless and tend to the sick. It feels good to work for a company that supports and shares my passion! What do you like to do when you aren’t working hard to help Urban Ministries? Well, that is a good question! As a brand new “empty nester,” I am working to find new ways to spend the energy that I previously spent raising my sweet daughter before she went to college! I recently bought a bike and hope to enjoy riding now that the weather is so nice. I love to cook and entertain. I am very involved in my church, Hayes Barton United Methodist, where I teach in the Joy Class, lead Bible Studies, and serve as the Chair of Worship.

Holiday Honor Cards The Urban Ministries’ Holiday Honor Card is another great way to help those in need while celebrating the holiday season. The Holiday Honor Card is an “alternative gift giving” program that allows you to send beautiful holiday greetings to friends and family while also supporting 24,000 of our neighbors who are hungry, homeless or in need of health care. Sometimes we look around at the suffering and misfortune of others, unsure of where to begin and wonder how we can possibly make a difference when thousands need help. The Holiday Honor Card is a great solution! For a minimum contribution of $5 per card, you can send holiday cards to clients, colleagues, friends or family. Thanks to the generosity of distinguished North Carolina artist William Mangum and Wells Fargo, 100% of Honor Card proceeds go directly to helping families in need. To view the complete card selection, go to www.urbanmin.org/ honor-cards. Orders will be shipped promptly.
