Alvis Breaks Ground for Alum Creek Expansion and Renovation Meets an urgent need for additional reentry and treatment programming Leaders from the State of Ohio, Franklin County, City of Columbus and Alvis, Inc. joined together to officially break ground on a $25 million addition, expansion and renovation of Alvis’ Alum Creek Residential Reentry and Treatment Center. The expansion will provide additional capacity for residential reentry and behavioral health treatment services in Central Ohio. PrimaryOne Health will also have a location in the new building. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I have benefitted from second chances provided by people who looked beyond my past and were able to see my potential. So I want to thank Alvis…for believing in me and supporting me in a new way of life. - Jesus G., program graduate and speaker at the Alum Creek groundbreaking

Alvis serves some of the most vulnerable citizens in our community. Since 1967, the agency has been providing reentry support & treatment for individuals with justice involvement, addictions & mental health treatment, workforce development, support & prevention services for families and children, and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. The two story addition will consolidate Alvis’ programs for men at the Alum Creek and downtown Columbus locations. When the move is completed, the original Alum Creek facility will be renovated to become a modern residential reentry treatment program for women, who are the fastest growing segment of the justice-involved population. Women’s reentry programs are currently spread across three aging, Victorian-style homes in East Columbus. The new facility will allow Alvis to provide evidence-informed treatment services and the complex continuum of care that will have a transformational impact on all those served.

Michael Watson Chair Judge, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio Eve Ellinger Vice Chair Vice President of Legal and Assistant Secretary, State Auto Insurance Companies Keith Stevens Immediate Past Chair Chairman/CEO, Proteam Solutions

Alvis has been turning lives around since 1967. I get goosebumps every time I think about the tens of thousands of men and women who came to Alvis and received the tools to make their lives healthy and whole. As a result, the lives of their families and others connected to them changed for the better, too. Alvis is driven by our values and beliefs – and powered by people who choose to make a difference by working here. The Alvis staff are simply the best. Their dedication and commitment is at the very heart of all we do. Even a once in a century pandemic could not stop Alvis. Our doors were open every day and we continued to guide our clients to move beyond their past and toward their purpose.

Denise M. Robinson President and CEO

Andrea Kirsh Secretary Senior Counsel, American Electric Power (AEP)

Of course, Alvis would not be here to turn lives around without your support. Your support throughout the past year has meant more to our clients and our staff than you will ever know. THANK YOU!

Daniel J. Weng Treasurer Senior Relationship Manager / Business Banking, Huntington National Bank

Last year was challenging. The social distancing that helped to prevent the spread of illness also led to social isolation among vulnerable individuals and groups. In-person support groups, such as 12-step meetings and peer support, became scarce. Our clients had to forgo cherished community activities, like monthly game nights and the annual “Family Picnic” for our 60+ clients with intellectual/ developmental disabilities. We even had to curtail family visitation for clients in our residential reentry programs.

Robinson President and CEO, Alvis TRUSTEES Melissa Anthony Executive Director, Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board Erin Gallagher Barnhart Assistant Federal Public Defender, Southern District of Ohio James Benseler Managing Director, Banking, Accenture

This is such a caring community, though, and you found so many ways to show our clients that they are never forgotten. Throughout this newsletter, you’ll see highlights of some of the many different ways our community came together to support individuals and families at Alvis during a difficult year. I wish we could highlight each generous act, but there have been so many. Check out Alvis’ social media for even more stories about our generous community. This year, Alvis is busily preparing for the future with the $25 million addition and renovation at our Alum Creek facility. We expect to cut the ribbon on the new facility in early 2023. In June of this year, we’ll once again be together for Evening of Light. This is our signature event and benefits our Family and Children’s Program. I hope you will join us to celebrate these milestones! In closing, thank you – from the bottom of my heart - for sharing the Alvis vision, “That communities believe each person’s potential is more important than their past.” Each and every day, we have the opportunity to work together, believe in a person’s ability to change, and to back up that belief by investing in the resources needed to unlock their potential. Your support ensures that Alvis will continue to turn lives around for many years to come. With warmest regards,

Daniel Best Attorney, Gallagher Sharp

The EDGE (Empower Development by Gaining Employment) Program “I came here with shame and anxiety about my background. Getting through an interview was torturous. Fear of the ever-looming background check. Being qualified, but not confident. Now, I have freedom from those fears. The EDGE program and the facilitators have given us confidence, skills and education.” – Terry B., EDGE Graduate, 4th Cohort The EDGE Program is more than a workforce development or reentry program: it is a life enhancing, skills training, career development program built using cognitive behavioral interventions. A model collaboration between the City of Columbus, Workforce Development Board of Central Ohio (WDBCO), and Alvis, Inc., the EDGE program has put more than 100 graduates on the road to success since its inception in early 2020. At the December 2021 graduates of the EDGE Program celebrate program’s recent graduation with Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther and other city and in December 2021, EDGE workforce development leaders. graduates reflected on their experience in the program and listened to guest speakers, including Columbus Mayor Andy Ginther, Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin, WDBCO CEO Lisa Patt-McDaniel, and others who shared their thoughts and inspiration. You could feel the joy in the room as graduates received diplomas and looked out to loved ones in the audience. Graduates were surrounded by well-wishers and celebrated their achievements. EDGE shows that a person’s past doesn’t have to limit their independence and access to a career. “EDGE taught us that, even though situations from our past may not have had the best outcome, we displayed unique characteristics that could be refocused towards positive, healthy, and beneficial aspects of life and that it would help you succeed. It gave many of us hope that we could actually do it. I have no doubt in my mind that every single one of us will make it.” – Shaun D., EDGE Graduate Speaking to this year’s EDGE graduates and guests, Alvis President and CEO, Denise M. Robinson, was clear that challenges should be expected, not feared, and graduates have the tools to reach their goals. She also reminded graduates that, “Alvis will ALWAYS be here for you...It’s what we do – it’s why we exist. Please don’t forget that we are here for you.” °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Over the past three years, taxpayers have saved an estimated

Cardinal Health Volunteers Create Inspiration Cardinal Health volunteers joined together at Amethyst, an Alvis recovery program, in August 2021 to create a heartfelt makeover of the center’s lobby. Team Cardinal refreshed lobby walls with a new coat of “North Star” blue paint and then decorated the walls with dot-shaped decals featuring messages of inspiration and hope.

In coming together to create a more welcoming and inspirational reception area, Cardinal volunteers will help the ladies and children in the Amethyst program to realize that members of the community value and support them in each step of their recovery journey.

Trunk or Treat! Halloween is fun for everyone! Alvis staff and volunteers dressed up in costumes and decorated their cars so our clients could still Trick or Treat, despite the pandemic. Clients from our DD programs were delighted to see cobwebs, tombstones, cauldrons, bats, spiders and more as they went through the maze of cars to get candy and other treats.

Alvis provides intermediate care, supported living, and behavioral support services to consumers with intellectual / developmental disabilities (DD). Our consumers are active and engaged in a variety of activities that foster a sense of community while supporting their independent spirit. 4

M/I Homes Volunteers Bring Holiday Cheer

Women2Women Uplifts, Inspires & Empowers

Each year, employees of M/I Homes volunteer for the Holiday Cheer Program benefitting Alvis’ Family and Children’s Program. Lori Robinson, Insurance/Risk Manager at M/I Homes, founded the event seven years ago and continues to dedicate her time and talents to make sure Alvis families find hope and joy during the holidays.

Women2Women, a nonprofit organization that is committed to closing the gap in accessing resources and the disparities among children, homeless families, women, and survivors of trauma, has always been supportive of women in treatment programs at Alvis. That commitment soared to new heights during the pandemic, as Women2Women served as a source of hope, help and empowerment.

The cycle begins each fall, as the M/I Homes corporate headquarters employees welcome Alvis staff, who come and share the incredible impact the Alvis program has on the families it serves. Volunteers from M/I Homes are then matched with gift requests from the different families. “It was as amazing as always. Meeting the families was again my favorite part!” remarked Lori, whose team personally shops for each gift on a child’s wish list, then wraps and helps deliver the gifts. This year, M/I Homes employees added an extra touch and partnered with Kate’s Kustom Wreaths to craft homemade wreaths to hang throughout Alvis’ facilities. The decorations provided special holiday cheer and helped to lessen the isolation many clients feel during the holidays. Thank you, M/I Homes employees, for literally decking the halls at Alvis.

Recognizing the sense of isolation and despair that Sallie D. Gibson, President can result from necessary Women2Women social distancing and limiting interpersonal contact during the pandemic, Women2Women developed a multitude of virtual and remote activities and events to show the women at Alvis that they would never be forgotten. Here are just a few of the ways the organization has helped women in treatment at Alvis: •

At the height of the first wave of the pandemic, Women2Women coordinated and delivered multiple donations of fresh food and produce to women in recovery housing; and they have continued working to ensure there are healthy food options that are free/low cost and easily accessible to our clients.

•

Women2Women coordinated a series of virtual events centering on self-care, confidence, and spiritual fulfillment.

•

The “Faces of Courage” event inspired clients. They were able to share fellowship with notable guest speakers and people of faith. Clients left the event both enthused and with tools for self-defense.

•

Women2Women facilitated “Set Your Sights on 2022.” Clients joined volunteers in crafting vision boards. Clients benefitted from expert advice and inspiration from as they worked on their personal vision for the coming year.

Women2Women continues to support the women and their children who are in treatment at Alvis. The deep, caring hearts and generosity of Women2Women ensured that, despite the pandemic, Alvis clients knew they were never truly alone.

Creating the Children’s Peaceful Reading Garden Children living with a mother who is in treatment to overcome addiction need support and treatment, too. They also need a safe, quiet space. With that purpose in mind, 54 volunteers, most from Columbus Gives Back, donated nearly 300 hours of service to create the Children’s Peaceful Reading Garden. Over nearly six months, volunteers helped to build and paint benches and construct a small library; clean, weed, level the ground and spread rubber mulch; and install walls around the perimeter of the garden. Floral designs for the walls of the garden were created by children in the program. Today, the garden serves as a meaningful space for children to spend time together or alone, reading and reflecting. The fun and colorful environment engages children and supports education and literacy. Alvis is grateful to Columbus Gives Back for all of their work and to The Data House for their financial support of the garden. Children's Reading Garden

Roberta Lago, artist, designed the mural that covers the walls of the garden and she incorporated the children’s floral designs into the mural.

Columbus Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Committee Each holiday season, the Columbus Bar Association's (CBA) Young Lawyers Committee has volunteered at the holiday party for Alvis clients who have developmental disabilities (DD). Due to COVID, there wasn’t a holiday party in 2021 but CBA’s Young Lawyers still worked hard to provide a joy-filled holiday for Alvis’ clients. CBA volunteers organized a donation drive and collected over 322 items. Clients received hygiene products, blankets, and games. Volunteers also crafted heartfelt and personalized holiday cards for each client. For DD consumers, their housemates and agency staff are their family, so holidays are a special time filled with joy and meaning. Personalized, handcrafted cards served as meaningful stocking stuffers, and the much-needed personal items will be used all year. Big thanks to all the Young Lawyers of the CBA who participated!

Crafting Fall Fun Wexner Service Corps In October 2021, high school volunteers from the Wexner Service Corps joined Alvis staff for a meaningful afternoon of learning and service at COhatch Upper Arlington. Sharon Barr Skolnik, Program Director of the Wexner Service Corps presented the program, "We're Not Really Strangers," then concluded with an educational component addressing respect and dignity. Alvis staff discussed the organization’s mission, core vision and service lines, and wrapped things up with a personal presentation from Taylor, a recent graduate of Amethyst, an Alvis recovery program.

Feasts of Thanksgiving with The Harmony Project Thanks to the generous collaboration and contributions of The Harmony Project and The Hubbard Grille, more than 150 clients at Alvis enjoyed a delicious, home-style Thanksgiving meal. Harmony Project volunteers delivered the meals prepared by The Hubbard Grille of Columbus to clients in Alvis’ Jackson Pike residential reentry program and clients in Alvis’ POWER (Partnering Organizations for Wellness, Empowerment, and Recovery) program, a holistic substance use disorder treatment program for men.

Jackson Pike clients created a beautiful, handmade thank you card.

“This will be the first turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy they’ve [the clients] had, in ages,” said Dana, Community Reentry Specialist. “It’s awesome! It’s about giving and they’re going to really be grateful.”

Harmony Project, Hubbard Grille and Alvis staff finish preparing Thanksgiving meals and get ready to deliver them.

Helping Families Heal and Children Thrive Like a stone thrown into a pond, the effects of an individual’s substance use and/or justice involvement ripple outward through their families, often impacting children the most. Their trauma is compounded by shame and isolation. Fortunately, the Alvis Family and Children’s Program is here to help heal families. Alvis is a leader in providing familyfocused programming designed to break the cycle of family trauma. One of a few programs in the nation that allows children to live with their mothers while in treatment, Alvis Family and Children’s programs unite families, benefit moms, their Kindergartner with blanket children, and those closest to them. Together and apart, moms and their children attend counseling, learn communications skills, and improve coping abilities, share experiences, and work together to build relationships.

The children we serve here have experienced multiple traumatic events related to their parents’ use of alcohol and drugs. Many have been homeless, abandoned, physically, sexually, and emotionally abused; and a few were even born addicted themselves. Our goal is to provide a nurturing, structured, consistent, and loving environment to help our children learn how to grow into their full potential. We seek to teach and empower them to make positive choices that will lead to a successful and rewarding future. Mom and child enjoying a SummerQuest moment

Amidst the ever-changing learning environments of the 2021 school year, the Alvis Family & Children's Program Team helped families navigate remote-learning challenges. Alvis stepped up and created a safe, remote classroom designed to help our children stay on track in their education and help their mothers to stay on track in treatment programming for their addiction. In 2021 alone, Alvis provided uninterrupted services to more than 560 women and children from central Ohio communities. While classes resumed in-person in the fall, the Alvis team worked diligently to secure alternate transportation solutions that ensured the children arrived safely and promptly to and from school each day. Throughout the summer and extended school-year breaks, children enjoyed “SummerQuest” day-camp, field trips and other educational support and enrichment opportunities. By extending care to include the children of Alvis clients – despite the pandemic restrictions – Alvis never stopped working to bring families back together.

Children can become the invisible victims of the criminal justice system. They may feel shame and be bullied at school. They may feel a confusing mix of anger and love toward their parent. Alvis helps them make sense of their emotions and reassures them that it's okay to feel sad and hurt. The Alvis Family and Children's program is a way for parents and children to enjoy positive experiences like having meals together, celebrating holidays, and birthdays. - Denise M. Robinson, President & CEO 8 ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °
