Bridging the Gap

A message from our President/CEO and Board Chair Dear Friend, During the last year, Volunteers of America Mid-States has grown significantly throughout our five-state region, specifically within our addiction recovery services and veterans programs. In July, we opened three new programs serving homeless veterans in Kentucky and Tennessee to better serve the needs of the men and women who bravely served our country. Though we have grown our addiction recovery and veteran services, we are facing the very real prospect of having to close the doors to our family housing program we have operated since 1984. Last year alone, we served 171 children in this program. Due to major funding cuts, equaling more than 50 percent of the program’s operating budget, Volunteers of America is facing our toughest challenge yet. How do we contemplate closing the doors when so many families are in need of our services? During this past year, as many as 58 families have been on our waiting list on any given day. These families are literally living in their vehicles or, if they are lucky, doubled up on a friend’s or relative’s couch. No one should live like this.

The challenges do not end there. Our Veterans Transitional Treatment Program in Lexington is facing a funding gap that we must address to keep this life-saving program open. Additionally, because of the growing demand for our addiction recovery services, we have purchased a new space in downtown Louisville to further expand our addiction recovery services to meet the growing need. In order to purchase and renovate the facility, and to ensure it has a source of sustainable funds to address future needs, we have embarked on a $6 million capital campaign. Read more about this critical campaign on page 6. While Volunteers of America’s dedicated staff is committed to providing the highest quality services to the 20,000 people we support each year, we need our community’s help to keep our doors open for our veterans and homeless children and their parents – they are counting on us to create positive change. Thank you for creating hope and helping us bridge this gap.
Sincerely,
Carl L. Williams Board of Directors Chair
Jennifer Hancock President/CEO

Addiction recovery services to expand in Louisville Volunteers of America Mid-States is proud to offer life-saving addiction recovery treatment to men and women in need, including the specialized services we provide through our Freedom House program for pregnant and parenting women. This residential treatment program — one of only four of its kind in Kentucky — helps women and their children address addiction in a therapeutic environment.
Though our addiction recovery programs served more than 300 people in 2015, Kentucky still faces a severe scarcity of residential addiction recovery treatment facilities, particularly for pregnant and postpartum women and their children.

Veteran rediscovers his drive, ambitions through Lexington addiction recovery program
When Army veteran Marcus Thornton
returned home to Kentucky from a 15-month deployment to Iraq in 2007, his life appeared to be moving forward in a positive direction. He got engaged to his high school sweetheart and tried to move past the emotional and mental impact of spending more than a year in a combat zone. But he soon experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and looked to alcohol for relief.
“I started drinking pretty heavily and had some PTSD related issues, but I was kind of in denial,” Marcus said. “I didn’t want to be that guy. In 2007, and still today even, there was kind of a stigma around combat veterans and PTSD, so I basically just selfmedicated.”
Marcus successfully completed the VA’s 28 day and 45 day programs, but was not able to maintain his sobriety after he returned home. After losing his job at the farm, he knew he needed a more intensive, long-term treatment program, which led him to our Veterans Transitional Treatment Program (VTTP). In 2014, Marcus came to VTTP and began our six-month treatment program, allowing him to further address his PTSD diagnosis and the root cause of his addiction. He completed the program, but admits that he was not fully committed to his treatment plan, making staying sober a challenge when he left .
Marcus knew he was struggling, but when he was deployed again to Japan for training, he put his issues on the back burner. He returned home just a few months later and “Things were really bad and I hit was excited about getting married and rock bottom” Marcus said. “It took almost starting a new life. But the nightmares got death for me to get myself together.” worse and so did his drinking. In spring 2016, Marcus returned to VTTP For the next few years, Marcus said he with a new resolve and determination. He managed to “float through”, but by 2011, put all of his energy into his treatment, and when he was discharged from the Army, focused on planning for the future, which the PTSD symptoms and alcohol abuse led him to enroll at Bluegrass Community became too much for his marriage to & Technical College. Marcus began classes withstand, and he and his wife divorced. in August while still at VTTP. During the next few years, Marcus struggled and eventually moved back to Kentucky after his father attempted suicide.
In early October, Marcus successfully completed treatment and moved into stable housing in Lexington. He is enjoying his classes and plans to transfer to the University of Kentucky where he will work towards a degree in biology.
Knowing he needed structure, Marcus arranged to live and work on a farm just outside of Lexington, KY. As a Vietnam “I don’t think I would have been able to veteran, Marcus’s boss understood what find the drive to do this if it wasn’t for he was going though and encouraged him Volunteers of America,” Marcus said. to seek treatment through Lexington’s VA “Volunteers of America gave me structure Medical Center. and stability. All I had to worry about was
figuring out myself and getting my mind right.” Today, Marcus continues to work with a counselor, rock climb, run and practice yoga and meditation as part of his new life. Our VTTP program has provided comprehensive and innovative treatment for veterans who have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder. The program relocated from the Lexington VA Medical Center to Eastern State Hospital in July. We are proud to serve those, just like Marcus, who have so bravely served our country.

Expanding our reach – Three new veterans
programs open in Kentucky, Tennessee Volunteers of America Mid-States in Nashville, Chattanooga and Lexington opened three new locations for Homeless Veterans Reintegration Programs in July in Nashville, Chattanooga and Lexington. The establishment of these new HVRP offices demonstrates our eagerness to bring our expertise to new parts of Tennessee and Kentucky and dedication to serve even more veterans in need and their families.
will help meet the needs of veterans in these areas, and we will work diligently to serve them with the same commitment they demonstrated when serving our country,” said Volunteers of America President and CEO Jennifer Hancock.
With nearly 500,000 veterans living in Tennessee and many of them struggling to find jobs and affordable housing, the work we do is more necessary in Nashville and Chattanooga than ever before. Additionally, the Lexington area has a variety of new employment opportunities that require only short-term skills or moderate on-thejob training. The Kentucky Department of Workforce Investment projects that growth in employment will create more than 3,000 jobs annually in the Bluegrass Workforce Development Area, creating new opportunities for unemployed veterans to find jobs with a career pathway to managerial level positions.
We celebrated the success of these newly opened programs in November with grand opening events at each location. Since opening in July, these new offices have served 62 veterans and their families by providing access to affordable housing, job training, career counseling, case management and more.
“We are confident that these new programs

Knoxville couple maintains stability, self-sufficiency with support from Knoxville veterans program
This fall, Volunteers of America MidStates had the pleasure of catching up with Knoxville, TN residents and program graduates Ann O’Dell and Wendell Griffin.
When we first spoke with Ann and Wendell in May 2015, they had just moved in to a new apartment with assistance from our Supportive Services for Veteran Families program and were getting settled into their new life. Today, Ann and Wendell are doing well and have been able to buy new furniture and all the things they need to make their new apartment feel like home. Less than a year ago, Ann and Wendell had been living with and caring for Ann’s father after he fell ill, and later passed away at age 81. During this time, medical expenses made managing their budget very difficult. After Ann’s father passed away, things began to further spiral out of
control and they lost their apartment. Wendell, a 14-year Army veteran, retired as a staff sergeant in 1992. He is a cancer survivor and suffered from severe depression after his diagnosis and treatment. After battling these difficult challenges together as a family, facing homelessness was just another hurdle that Wendell and Ann were determined to overcome. After losing their apartment, Ann and Wendell realized they were not going to be approved for an affordable apartment due to their lack of credit history. They knew they had to seek help, which they found when they came to our SSVF office. With our assistance, Ann and Wendell were able to move into an affordable apartment in the neighborhood they desired. They
also received assistance with their first month’s rent, utilities and furniture to get them off to a fresh start in their new home. This support provided the stability Ann and Wendell needed, and today, they have been able to purchase a van so they can travel to visit family and be more independent. “Your organization turned our lives around,” Wendell said, noting his and Ann’s optimism for the future. “We were homeless, but now, every day, I look forward to making things even better.” We are honored to serve veterans who have served our country and to help them create stability for the future and positive change in their lives.

Guests answer the call at the 2016 Power of 1 Breakfast Nearly 900 supporters came together to support Volunteers of America’s
mission to create positive change at the 8th annual Power of 1 Breakfast on October 5. Graduate Amy Kalber shared her moving story of overcoming the disease of addiction and creating a new life for herself and her family. Amy spent years struggling with her addiction, but today she has been sober for more than five years after receiving Volunteers of America’s life-saving services at Freedom House. Amy, who is now working towards a social work degree at the University of Louisville, shared with attendees that during her recovery, Volunteers of America helped her rediscover who she is as a person “at her deepest core.”
Thank you to everyone who answered the call to help ensure that we continue to provide our life-changing services to children and families in need.
“I can stand up with complete pride and tell each and every one of you that today, I am a productive member of society who finally gives more than she takes, and I work with others in the hopes of passing this kind of life on. This is my story because Volunteers of America answered my call,” Amy said.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT Mindfulness Meditation sessions provide stress relief, relaxation practices to women in recovery
A little over two years ago, volunteer and donor Mary Farmer came to our President and
CEO Jennifer Hancock with an idea to start a Mindfulness Meditation class with the women we serve at Freedom House, our residential addiction recovery program for pregnant and parenting women in Louisville, KY. Mary saw the class as a way to help women at Freedom House process their thoughts in a nonjudgmental and purposeful manner, which can be a challenge for anyone, particularly people who have experienced trauma.
Sister Ellen O’Bryan and Mary Farmer
Mary arranged a weekly session on a trial basis to determine how receptive the women would be to practicing mindfulness meditation. After holding her classes for six months, things were going well, so she sought out the help of another volunteer, Sister Ellen O’Bryan, RSM (Religious Sisters of Mercy).
Sister Ellen had been volunteering at a local children’s hospital holding drug-exposed infants, which led her to want to go a step further and help the mothers at Freedom House. Her investment in the women at Freedom House is clear and the women look forward to seeing her each week, Mary said. During the sessions, the group begins with each woman sharing her stress level and an intention for the day or week. Then, after their guided mediation, they wrap up class by sharing their stress level again, revisiting their intention, stating five things they are grateful for and one thing they like about themselves. At a recent class, every resident shared that they are grateful for Freedom House and sobriety and many women echoed the same spirit of graititude for Mary and Sister Ellen. “I look forward to it every week,” shared Lindsay, a Freedom House resident, noting that she has been able to use her mindfulness practice when things get tough during her day-to-day activities, not just during the class. “If my mind starts to wander, I can always bring it back. I just roll it back and start to think about the good things.” Mary’s leadership and the Mindfulness Meditation sessions she and Sister Ellen conduct are perfect examples of how we invite supporters to give back and collaborate with us in ways that put their personal passion and skills to use to help the families and individuals we serve.
