I look around and see...

people hungry, people homeless, people hurting, people hopeless. When I see these needs, and I see how great they are, I can begin to feel hopeless too. It is tempting to wonder,

Just one person

I am just one person. What can I do to make a difference?

can bring hope

At Catholic Charities, I can step into the lives of others at one or multiple points along the way... and begin to bring hope. Sometimes hope is given with fruits and vegetables, sometimes with a birthday cake, a winter coat, or a warm quilt. Sometimes hope looks like a new toy under the Christmas tree, a new box of crayons, or a book chosen just for them. Sometimes hope can be a listening ear, a hug, a smile, or an encouraging word. Sometimes hope is shared with clients, sometimes with staff, sometimes with fellow volunteers. But always, I feel it come back to change me.

and impact

So, what impact can one person have? It only takes that first step as a volunteer... As each need is touched, we build this wonderful, hope-filled, life-giving cycle that keeps reaching outward... and gives us hope too.

another persons life.

Barb Stoner A Catholic Charities volunteer for 30+ years

Sometimes a listening ear, a smile or an encouraging word is all it takes.

Dear Friends, In 2015, Catholic Charities completed our Saving Children Saving Families Capital Campaign. The campaign built the new Intensive Treatment Cottage at Catholic Charities St. Cloud Children’s Home and was the foundation for Catholic Charities’ new endowment. The endowment is a fund that helps ensure our organization’s operation for years to come. During one of our campaign meetings, Bob Strack, one of our campaign co-chairs, asked me, “What is at the heart of Catholic Charities? What is the bigger picture of what we’re trying to continue?” My reply was that we, as an organization, believe many things that can be summarized in four statements: No one should be without food. No one should be without a safe place to live. No one should be without someone to lean on. No one should be without hope. Featured inside is one of our programs that accomplishes all of these: Catholic Charities St. Elizabeth’s Board and Lodge. St. Elizabeth’s serves adults who have long-term mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. Clients receive meals, a safe, permanent place to live and support to make sure they’re taking their medications properly. Every day, staff try to help clients live their best lives. What does that mean? For each client, it’s very different. What happens to clients without St. Elizabeth’s? Hunger. Homelessness. Most tragically, hopelessness. Thank you for supporting Catholic Charities’ important work. Together, we can truly make a different tomorrow.

Food Shelter Support

May God bless you and your family in the coming year. Sincerely,

Steven P. Bresnahan Executive Director Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud

Catholic Charities Housing Services fulfills our belief that no one should be a without a safe place to live. In numerous communities throughout Central Minnesota, staff manage housing with affordable rents. These developments meet the needs of lowand middle-income people, especially families, senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Domus Transitional Housing provides temporary housing to women with children who are transitioning from homelessness. Transportation has long been an issue for these women and children because they rely heavily on public transportation. This adds hours to their day getting children to and from childcare, while mothers then travel to work or school. In 2015, a grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation and a partnership with Yellow Cab addressed this problem. The impact was immediate, helping Domus mothers and children save up to 4 hours per day on travel time. • 11 communities across Central Minnesota

This is a place of hope St. Elizabeth helps Brenda stabilize life, look to future As Brenda, a resident of Catholic Charities St. Elizabeth’s Board and Lodge, walked around Lake George in St. Cloud this spring, a bench caught her eye. “I’ve never seen that before,” she said as she walked past a wet t-shirt and boxer shorts drying on the bench in the warm sun. She sat down and pointed to a group of large trees across the water. “I used to sleep over there during the day, I didn’t trust people around here enough to sleep at night.” Stay up at night, sleep during the day, that was Brenda’s life during the four years she was homeless in St. Cloud. Brenda had followed her abusive boyfriend around the country and finally to St. Cloud, clinging to a long string of people who abused her physically, emotionally and sexually. Alcohol dulled most of the pain, but couldn’t hide everything: it made her major depression and anxiety worse and exacerbated her borderline personality disorder. But that was then. Now, a single and sober Brenda lives at St. Elizabeth’s. Her focus is to keep her life and mental health stable. While she’s welcome to stay permanently, she hopes to someday return to her home state. St. Elizabeth’s is a facility for 18 people with long-term mental illness. Staff are on-site 24 hours a day to make meals and help residents keep track of their sometimes complicated medications. Brenda is using her time at St. Elizabeth’s to work on herself spiritually and emotionally. “Jesus gives me the strength, courage and determination to do better.” She feels blessed to have found the place, where she has a small room to herself. “Now I can rest. I have clean clothes. I can take care of my hygiene. When I was homeless, not being able to take a shower was embarrassing! Not taking care of myself hurt my self-esteem. That made my depression worse. The staff here are so wonderful, they listen and encourage us.”

Staff think Brenda is pretty awesome as well. While her expenses at St. Elizabeth’s are taken care of by federal dollars, Brenda is known as the house helper. She tidies up, picks up trash and just generally helps when she can. “My grandma always told me, ‘you can sleep when you’re dead.’ I want to be up and moving, being helpful and giving back.” That’s why Brenda still comes to Lake George to take walks – to be outside and move. She’s glad to go home to St. Elizabeth’s. “This is the place to come if you’re struggling. Staff will talk and listen, this is truly a place of hope.”

“My grandma always told me, ‘you can sleep when you’re dead.’ I want to be up and moving, being helpful and giving back.”

The kids were excited to receive Legos and Star Wars stuff. Watching them open their gifts and seeing the smiles on their faces is all that a parent could ask for. I thank God for people like you who take time to help others.” • 49,762* people were helped at Catholic Charities Emergency Services.

A strong community needs to support the people that are less fortunate or in need. Catholic Charities plays a major role in providing that support for the central Minnesota. Through their programs they support families in need, children with special needs, youth with housing, the elderly with food, the disabled with housing and anyone in need of help with the services that they provide. They provide these services through the dedication of their employees and volunteers, always keeping in mind people need to be treated with dignity and respect. Volunteering at Catholic Charities we have witnessed firsthand the impact our donations have on the people they serve. - Pat & Vicky Welty, Circle of Hope Society Members Marilyn Kruchten Max and Brenda Larson Bill and Teresa LeClaire Mike and Kathy Lehn Leighton Enterprises Bob and Lydia Leighton Gretchen Leisen Father Richard Leisen Lytwyn Family Foundation Patrick and Gayle McCann McDowall Company John and Cherie McDowall John J Melancon and Nancy Gilbert Jeff and JoAnn Mo Morgan Stanley Michael Neumann Sarah Jane and David Nicoll Nuss Truck & Equipment John O’Hara Marty and Jamie O’Link Father Thomas Olson Steve and Deb Palmer Plaza Park Bank +Eleanor Rieland Estate Greg and Sara Rieland

Community Services

11

Catholic Charities Community Services fulfills our belief that no one should be without food and no one should be without a safe place to live by reaching out to people of all ages in communities across our service area, serving them with dignity and respect. Services include support for homeless youth, meals and evidence-based health promotions workshops for seniors, mentors for children, and residential communitybased assistance for adults with developmental disabilities. To help address the need of getting fresh fruits and vegetables into the hands of seniors, Catholic Charities expanded the Plant a Row, Harvest a Row program to all of its Senior Dining sites across central Minnesota in 2015. This program asks area gardeners to plant an extra row in their garden that, when harvested, can be donated to Senior Dining sites, which serve and distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to seniors. More than 10,000 servings of fruits and vegetables were provided to Catholic Charities Meals on Wheels and congregate diners in 2015. In March of 2015, Rejuv Medical became a business community partner, creating a Community Giving Garden on its property in Waite Park. At the end of the growing season, more than 270 pounds of produce had been delivered to the Catholic Charities Senior Dining site at Whitney Senior Center in St. Cloud. • 9,137 children were assisted by 174 foster grandparents • 87 persons with developmental disabilities and their families received services in their homes • 22 adults with developmental disabilities lived in supervised foster homes • 6 persons with physical disabilities received services in supervised housing • 150 adults participated in evidence-based Health Promotion Classes • 320,407 meals were served to 6,095 seniors at 38 Senior Dining sites and in 44 Meals on Wheels communities • 1,450 volunteers offered 53,051 hours of help • 44 young people learned life skills through Catholic Charities Support and Advocacy for Independent Living (SAIL) program • 65 homeless youth were mentored as a part of Catholic Charities Supported Housing for Youth (SHY) program • 33 homeless youth were given temporary housing and support services at Catholic Charities Youth House

Catholic Charities presents awards to gentleman gardeners, bike ride organizers Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud presented its annual Good Samaritan Awards to two groups of recipients: Mel Rohe and Dave Morreim, and Chuck and Lucy Rieland. Recipients are recognized for following the example of the biblical “Good Samaritan” by helping those who are in need without an expected reward.

Melvin Rohe and Dave Morreim Eight years ago, a chance meeting led Dave Morreim and Melvin Rohe to issue a challenge to themselves: how much produce can we grow each season for Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf? The result has been an average of about 8,200 pounds of fresh produce per season - a total of more than 35 tons to date! “The monetary value of their donation exceeds $10,000 per year to Catholic Charities Emergency Services.  Combining their knowledge, skills, and resources to help others, then expect nothing in return, makes them a fine example of Good Samaritans,” said Kathryn Stolpman, manager of Catholic Charities Food Shelf.

NO ONE should be without food. Chuck and Lucy Rieland For more than 30 years, Chuck Rieland has worked at Morgan Stanley. On September 11, 2001, he watched as 45 floors of Morgan Stanley offices in the World Trade Center crumbled. In the weeks that followed, Chuck vowed to do something positive. He and Lucy chose a bike ride to raise funds for Catholic Charities St. Cloud Chidlren’s Home. The Lake Wobegon Ride, has now raised over $790,000 in the past 10 years. With the continued passion and direction of Chuck and Lucy Rieland, that money has provided scholarships to more than 60 students. The money goes to help support students’ continued stay at the Children’s Home when insurance companies have denied continuing coverage. This year’s Lake Wobegon Ride will take place on September 10, 2016.

Residential and Day Services

13

Catholic Charities Residential and Day Services fulfills our beliefs that no one should be without food, no one should be without a safe place to live, no one should be without someone to lean on and most importantly, no one should be without hope. We do this by educating and keeping safe the vulnerable youth in our care. Children dealing with mental illnesses and emotional and behavioral disorders are assisted with a variety of programming focused on learning to relate to others in a positive and meaningful way. When you think of mental health, you may not think of food helping in any way, but food often plays a vital role. Whether it’s learning to eat as a “family” with others at the Children’s Home or providing a nutritional breakfast and lunch to children in our day programs who might not otherwise have it. Food not only provides nourishment for children’s bodies but also for their minds. • 129 youth and their families were served by Catholic Charities St. Cloud Children’s Home • 33 youth and their families were served at the Intensive Treatment Cottage at Catholic Charities St. Cloud Children’s Home • 143 youth and their families were served by day programming for youth including Catholic Charities Youth Learning Center, the Young Learners Program and Day Treatment programs in Elk River and St. Cloud • 10 dedicated volunteers gave 875 hours of support

NO ONE should be without someone to lean on.

I look around and see...

people hungry, people homeless, people hurting, people hopeless. When I see these needs, and I see how great they are, I can begin to feel hopeless too. It is tempting to wonder,

Just one person

I am just one person. What can I do to make a difference?

can bring hope

At Catholic Charities, I can step into the lives of others at one or multiple points along the way... and begin to bring hope. Sometimes hope is given with fruits and vegetables, sometimes with a birthday cake, a winter coat, or a warm quilt. Sometimes hope looks like a new toy under the Christmas tree, a new box of crayons, or a book chosen just for them. Sometimes hope can be a listening ear, a hug, a smile, or an encouraging word. Sometimes hope is shared with clients, sometimes with staff, sometimes with fellow volunteers. But always, I feel it come back to change me.

and impact

So, what impact can one person have? It only takes that first step as a volunteer... As each need is touched, we build this wonderful, hope-filled, life-giving cycle that keeps reaching outward... and gives us hope too.

another persons life.

Barb Stoner A Catholic Charities volunteer for 30+ years

Sometimes a listening ear, a smile or an encouraging word is all it takes.
