MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIRMAN The 2014-2015 fiscal year brought accomplishments, challenges, and tremendous growth for our nine core programs. Adopt-A-Family provided services to 2,166 families in Palm Beach County–this is more than a 20% increase from 2013-14. Unfortunately, this increase also clearly demonstrates the needs in our community, which continue to outweigh available resources. As rental costs outpace wages in Palm Beach County, more families find themselves homeless or at risk of homelessness. At Adopt-A-Family, we are committed to doing our part to make a difference in the lives of families that are in these situations. The most exciting news of the 2014-2015 year relates to our afterschool program, Project Grow. In the fall of 2014, our Project Grow play space transformed from trampled sod to a multipurpose turf fitted with a brand new basketball court. Outlined in this report, you will read more about this project and the difference it has made in the lives of the 60 children who call Project Grow their home. As we look to the future, we plan to take ambitious steps to develop, create, and enhance affordable housing solutions for Palm Beach County families. Additionally, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the supportive services and case management we provide as an agency continue to make an impact on the families we proudly serve. To our dedicated supporters, board of directors, staff, and collaborative partners, thank you for making 2014-15 great. It goes without saying that our successes are a result of your investment. We look forward to our continued partnership in making lives brighter for Palm Beach County families. Warm regards, Matt Constantine, CEO Lynda Murphy, Board Chairman Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc.

ADOPT-A-FAMILY ANGELS HONORING TOM & MARI FRANKEL
Adopt-A-Family was proud to honor Tom and Mari Frankel in January 2015 for their dedication to the enhancement of Project Grow.
For nearly 20 years, the Frankels have been visionary advocates for Adopt-A-Family’s afterschool program, Project Grow. In the fall of 2014, their vision was realized as our play space transformed from trampled sod to a beautiful, clean, multi-use green space that included a brand-new basketball court. Our Project Grow students couldn’t be happier with their new playground and an incredible space to call their own. With the new multi-use space, Adopt-A-Family’s Project Grow has conducted dozens of fun and creative afterschool activities on the new playground. This includes interactive sessions by Kidding Around Yoga, Digital Vibes, Florida Fish and Wildlife, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) outdoor activities, soccer games, and many more. See photos on the next page that show how the Project Grow play space has come to life. The new Project Grow playground was made possible due to the incredible support of Nellie Benoit, Sean Bresnan, Liza Pulitzer Calhoun, Mary & John Castronuovo, Kim & Ray Celedinas, The Chapman Foundation, Lillian Fernandez, Mari & Tom Frankel, Leah & Ed Frankel, Liz Frankel, Suzanne & David Frisbie, Carol McCracken, Ellen & Allan Meyerson, Lauren & Clement Mimun, Iris Headley & friends, Monika & John Preston, and Crista Ryan. 8

A FAMILY SUCCESS STORY AND 9TH CONSECUTIVE 4-STAR RATING examples of her peers and made many poor life choices. It was after the loss of a close relative that Carolyn vowed to turn her life around. Today, Carolyn has earned her high school diploma and graduated with her Associates Degree in December, 2015. She is also working towards obtaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services from Palm Beach State College and hopes to help others find sobriety.
Carolyn Tirado, a Holistic Therapy Assistant at The Treatment Center, and her sons, Christopher and Phillip, joined the Service Enriched Housing Program in November of 2012. Prior to joining the program,
the family was renting a small one bedroom apartment in Lake Worth and was looking for a better living opportunity. Carolyn had struggled for many years to reach the point where owning a home of her own could be a realistic goal. Carolyn lacked stability when she was younger--her family moved from neighborhood to neighborhood throughout her childhood. At age 11, she then lost her mother to cancer. Without proper parental guidance and role models, she followed the
Adopt-A-Family earns 9th consecutive 4-star Charity Navigator rating In May 2015, Adopt-A-Family earned its 9th consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. Receiving 4 out of a possible 4 stars indicates that Adopt-A-Family adheres to good governance and other best practices. Only 1% of charities rated nationally have achieved this distinction. This achievement is a reflection and testament to our incredible supporters, funders, board of directors, staff, and families we serve.

During her time at Adopt-A-Family, Carolyn worked very hard to save for her closing costs and address her credit obstacles so she could purchase her first home. She has done this despite a recent cancer scare. On March 30, 2015, Carolyn reached her goal when she purchased a three bedroom/two bathroom home from Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County in Jupiter. To obtain an interest free mortgage, the family completed 400 hours of sweat equity that included Carolyn and her sons participating in the construction of the home. The students at Seminole Ridge High School also had a part in Carolyn achieving her dream. They began the construction of the home at their high school in the winter of 2014. Congrats Carolyn!
