Dear friends and supporters: On behalf of our clients, the board of directors and staff; I am pleased to present the 2012 Onslow Community Outreach Annual Report. This report summarizes the impact of the Outreach on the lives of Onslow County residents. But no statistic can adequately convey the many acts of kindness this community has given to people in need during 2012. The Outreach is simply the vehicle in which the community comes together to help neighbors in need.
Through generosity of the community, the soup kitchen cooked and distributed 147,000 meals to reduce hunger; the homeless shelter provided clean and safe housing to 329 distinct residents (13% increase), including 71 veterans (37% increase); the Caring Community Clinic provided over 1,900 medical services to 306 enrolled patients; the benevolence fund helped almost 120 families; and Christmas Cheer helped 5,100 persons, including 3,000 children Steps taken to achieve strategic goals were to move the clinic to a more energy efficient facility closer to health care providers; develop a capital savings account; initiate a preventive maintenance program for Soup Kitchen vehicles; acquire grant funds to assist homeless veterans; and adopt new by-laws and personnel manual. During this period, the organization maintained effective stewardship to achieve revenue over expenses and sustained active board governance. Pointing toward 2013, we look forward to strengthening relationships with faith partners to assist more homeless persons at the shelter, completing health records technology improvements at the clinic and increasing health education to diabetic and high blood pressure patients. In line with our strategic goals, we must move forward with adopting a planned giving program and resource development to upgrade aging vehicles and facilities. Lastly, during the hot, humid days of July/August, the shelter was temporary home to several pregnant residents. This group required constant support and connections to community resources. Our case management capacity was stretched thin. However, due to community support, each client exited the program to more stable housing conditions. Several months later, one of the residents returned to the shelter with her newborn son to express appreciation for the shelter and the support of a caring staff. Shakespeare scripted "How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world." Our beam comes from the good deeds of a caring community. Dr. Don Herring, Chairman

Collaboration to Reduce Hunger The Onslow Soup Kitchen is a partner agency of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina (FBCENC). Soup Kitchen volunteers assist the Food Bank with product distribution in Onslow County. On a monthly basis, a Food Bank truck arrives from Greenville and is unloaded by volunteers. The volunteers help to reduce hunger in Jacksonville-Onslow by preparing and distributing about 130 boxes of food. In 2012, over 1,560 boxes were distributed. The FBCENC recognizes the Onslow Soup Kitchen as one of the most effective hunger prevention program in Central & Eastern NC.

Homeless Veterans Summit In 2012, the shelter helped 71 veterans, a 37% increase. The program received a grant from the State of North Carolina to help with rapid re-housing of veterans. The Onslow Homeless Shelter Rapid ReHousing and Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) makes funds available to veterans for rental applications, deposits, and utility deposits. Through Rapid Re-Housing and ESG, veterans are stabilized in housing and assisted comprehensively to help ensure they do not face homelessness again.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. “Approximately twice that many experience homelessness over the course of a year. Conservatively, one out of every three homeless men who is sleeping in a doorway, alley or box in our cities and rural communities has put on a uniform and served this country.” “Those who have served this nation as a Veteran should never find themselves on the street, living without care and without hope." –Eric K. Shinseki, Secretary of Veterans Affairs
