THE YEAR IN REVIEWSpring was a busy time as Lubbock Area United Way underwent a revision of the Strategic Plan. Over 70 members of the community participated in focus groups as part of the process. Community volunteers also served on Program Review teams that visited and evaluated United Way Community Partners.

The busy pace continued through the summer as volunteers participated in Campaign and Speakers’ Bureau trainings, Agency Tours, and Days of Caring.

Fall kicked off the 68th Annual United Way Campaign. It was a record breaking year as the community invested the largest amount ever in United Way and the 23 Community Partners. This success was possible thanks to hundreds of volunteers, many of who you will see throughout this book. They are the reason United Way is able to work each year towards its mission of Giving • People • Hope.

Education Matters Collaborations The Volunteer Center of Lubbock, with United Way funding,

continues to grow the Education Matters program started

in 2008. In 2014, seven agencies participated, logging

over 18,850 hours with 385 volunteers.

Advocacy, Engagement and Leadership For 16 years, United Way has produced the Community

Status Report, a collaborative effort sponsored by

Covenant Health, the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County,

Lubbock ISD, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, Texas

Tech University, and UMC Health System.

The purpose of the report is

to track trends and look at

correlations between data

from health, safety,

demographics,

economics, and

education. The report

allows United Way to

annually gauge the

progress the com-

munity has made on

stated goals.

Highlights from the 2014 report include information on

the juvenile justice system in Texas, new health data, and

information on the economic cost of drug abuse and how

drug courts are impacting the Lubbock area. The report

can be viewed online at www.liveunitedlubbock.org/

commstatus.shtml.

In March, United Way partnered with Covenant Health to

implement a Child Abuse Prevention Summit. The

breakfast meeting was attended by over 200 professionals

and stakeholders and kicked-off April as Child Abuse

Awareness Month.

COMMUNITY IMPACT Lubbock Area United Way works year round in the community to meet needs and empower change. United Way also implements an extensive accountability process for the 23 Community Partners and their 33 programs.

As part of Child Abuse Awareness Month, Carolyn Simpson,

United Way’s Success By 6 Director, continued her work on

the “Go Blue Lubbock” Child Abuse Prevention Campaign.

The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about the

prevalence of child abuse in our community. The 2014 goal

was to have 16,000 people wear blue on April 4 and the

community came together in an outstanding way with more

than 40,000 people wearing blue on that day.

In October, United Way hosted a Legislative Forum that

focused on the areas of child abuse, infant and child mental

health, and the importance of early learning. Attendance at

the Forum included candidates for public office, agency

representatives, and community stakeholders.
