After 44 years, your Wa-tertown Urban Mission re-mains strong, meeting the needs of neighbors in your community.

In 2011, your Mission celebrated Mary Morgan, who retired after six stellar years of service and wel-comed Erika Flint as your new executive director.

Today, Erika and Board President Laura Wendt bring new energy in leading your Mission to build on a record of success and provi-dence.

With your help we will continue to serve our com-munity and ensure your Mission is here for years to come.

Stories from the Mission Field...

Feeding A Farmer in Need There’s a certain degree

of irony when you think of a farmer not having enough food.

After all, if it wasn’t for the farmers, we would not have the bounty we enjoy.

However, the reality is that many farmers, especially dairy farmers, often face real life personal and financial struggles that you might never notice driving past their open fields.

In early December, we received a call from a dairy farmer in Lowville, who was gravely concerned that a col-

league of his faced dire need and was too proud to ask for help.

As it turned out, a farmer from just outside of the city was on his own now, with seven children in his care and not enough food to get by until the next milk check.

The Lowville farmer shared the story of how he and his sister had tried to get the struggling farmer help on their own, but had run out of options.

Your neighbor—a farmer just outside Watertown—needed your help and by

your support for the Water-town Urban Mission, you helped him.

The farmer from Lowville drove to us in Watertown to pick up food, and we were able to send the struggling family a five day supply of food, plus drinks and per-sonal care items to give the family some relief in these tough times.

Because of your generos-ity and the genuine compas-sion within our local farming community, this family was able to get much needed help in time for Christmas.

Stories from the Mission Field...

Shoes Put A Shine in a Boy’s Eyes A single father came to

your Mission last fall with his two sons, ages 5 and 7, for a Critical Needs voucher.

The boys needed shoes. The ones they had on had holes in the bottoms.

In the store, the 5-year-old began to cry. He said his feet hurt and no shoes fit him.

Seeing this, staff at your Impossible Dream jumped

into action, offering to take the boy to look through un-sorted shoes. The father said he didn’t want our staff to go out of their way for his fam-ily, but that’s why we’re here.

The little boy stopped crying. He perked up and ex-citedly took the hand of our store manager. He searched through the boxes and when they found a pair in his size,

she gave him socks and told him he could wear them home.

“We got hugs from the dad and both boys,” said Tammy Kirch, manager. “One thing that’s a guarantee with this job is you never forget how blessed you truly are and being able to share those blessings, big or small, is truly a gift from God.”

Mission Statement

“To serve the community, jointly and ecumenically, in such a way as to make the compassion and reconciling purpose of God

felt where ever there is human need."

Vision Statement

“The Watertown Urban Mission, an ever-growing organization, through the support of our congregations and our community, will provide continuous resources to meet basic life needs that

maximize the potential and sense of dignity for all”

You’ve seen the news. These are tough economic times and here in Jefferson County poverty is on the rise.

However, because of your generosity in 2011 and the generosity of so many indi-viduals, churches, businesses and organizations, the many families facing poverty here have the Watertown Urban Mission to help them get back on their feet.

“This year in our Critical Needs program, we served 3,200 families and 900 of those families had never sought help from us before,” said Erika Flint, executive director of the Watertown Urban Mission.

In the Food pantry, 2,700 individuals we helped in 2011 had never sought your help for food before.

Overall, your generosity enabled the pantry to provide more than 301,000 meals in 2011, or nearly 20,000 more than 2010.

“When the needs are great, the people of the North Coun-try give,” Erika said. “The people we serve and all of us here at your Watertown Ur-ban Mission are thankful for your generosity.”

About 14 percent of Ameri-cans live in poverty, accord-ing to the U.S. Census. Here in Jefferson County, it’s even higher. About 1 in 6 of your friends and neighbors now live in poverty.

You recognized this need and opened up your hearts to new levels in 2011.

Some of you gave finan-cially for the first time. Oth-ers among you maintained or

even increased your annual gift. Maybe you donated the proceeds of a lemonade stand or craft fair, or held a food or personal item drive in your workplace.

No matter how you did it, you gave this year in a big way and in doing so, you provided your neighbors with the help they needed to get through and overcome these difficult times.

“We know 2012 will have its challenges and we thank you in advance for your con-tinued support,” Erika added.

Wow. I can’t believe 2011 has come and gone already. What a year it has been. I feel as though I have been hang-ing on to the back of a horse

as it flies down the road. Our Executive Director and staff have been worth their weight in gold this year.

Under Erika’s direction we have seen a surge in community donations and community involvement at the Mission that is directly tied to her taking every op-portunity to speak about the Mission.

I’ve had the privilege to witness so many small

miracles at the Mission. Dur-ing the week leading up to Thanksgiving, every after-noon I would pass a line of about 20 people waiting for a dinner to take home to their families. It seemed the line never grew shorter, but su-perimposed on that is the picture I have of many of you bringing turkeys—two, three or even dozens. A local pastor

met me with two turkeys in each hand saying that a pa-rishioner had just dropped them off at his church so he brought them right over. The need was great but your re-sponse was greater.

Another miracle is the increase in community in-volvement we have seen at the Mission. One of the first projects Erika tackled last year was to evaluate the state of our facilities. We called the area’s experts—contractors, architects and engineers, many of whom we had never met—and everyone we asked agreed to help. Over the past year, these business leaders have been here to direct us in managing and improving our facilities to benefit our pro-grams. The generosity they have shown with their time and talents is representative of what I have been honored to witness from many in our community this year.

I love too that this spirit of generosity is being passed on

to a younger generation. This year we had young boys set up a lemonade stand and generously give the profits of $25 to the food pantry. They inspired several more to do the same thing. We had chil-dren of all ages from Knicker-bocker, IHC, cub scouts, daisy scouts and more join in the work of the Mission. As you scroll through our pictures on our Facebook page you see the faces of our commu-nity working together to make a difference in our neighbors’ lives.

If there is one thing I could wish for it would be that the Watertown Urban Mission continues to bring people together in the service of others. We had such an exciting year and the year ahead is already shaping up to be just as thrilling. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our success. We invite everyone to con-tinue to be conduits of mira-cles.

My favorite Bible verse comes from Proverbs 14:31: “Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

What clearer instructions could we have? And to that end, I am humbled and in-spired every day here at the Watertown Urban Mission by the way all of you, our board and our staff honor God.

I am humbled by the dedi-cation of your Mission’s amazing team of employees who demonstrate daily that, as one said, “Being here is a calling by God to serve, and not simply a job.”

The compassion and the personal touch they demon-strate each day, inspires me to work harder.

I am humbled by the com-mitment of our Board of Di-rectors, who give so freely of their time to guide your Mis-sion to be the best it can be.

This sincere mindfulness of a purpose greater than

themselves as individuals inspires your team to push every day to make your Mis-sion even stronger.

I am humbled most of all by each and every one of you who give so much to us, be it financially, with your time, or with items we can use to serve our neighbors in need.

Your generosity in every-thing you give inspires me, our team, and our board to put every resource we have toward making an impact in our community with your gifts.

A natural byproduct of inspiration is optimism and I am filled with it. We’re taking steps to ensure the long term stability of your Mission. Community support for this effort has been tremendous.

We’ve had a great year in the public eye with bill-boards, media coverage, and a revamped Web site, but in the trenches, your support helped us meet new chal-lenges in serving an increas-

ing number of individuals in need throughout this county.

It has also been a year filled with change. While I certainly had some big shoes to fill, our focus remains squarely on the future.

With so much change, it’s likely no surprise that we’ve made changes to this report. We’ve chosen to reflect a theme of new en-ergy in your Mission and continued miracles.

Your 2011 annual re-port includes more photo-graphs and new content.

We hope you use these anecdotes and quick statis-tics to share with the people you meet, emphasizing that when you give to the Water-town Urban Mission, you di-rectly affect the lives of thou-sands of your neighbors.

I hope you enjoy the new format and approach. Thank you for reading, and please accept my sincere gratitude for your support of the Wa-tertown Urban Mission.

With Inspiration Comes Optimism and Change

Executive Director

Erika Flint was chosen to

lead your Watertown

Urban Mission in February.

Four New Churches Pledge Support

1968, 15 churches signed on to be members. Today, the number is 44.

Our member churches provide vital financial and volunteer support. Because of pledges of direct and consis-tent support, your Mission is able to serve the people who need help the most.

In giving to the Water-town Urban Mission, each church congregation is taking an active role feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, offering shelter to the home-less, visiting the imprisoned, and aiding the sick.

The Watertown Urban Mission has always depended on the support it receives from local churches looking to carry out Christ’s call to care for the poor.

In 2011, four churches stepped up to pledge their support for your Mission.

The new members are Faith Fellowship of Water-town, New Life Christian Church, the Roman Catholic Communities of Cape Vincent, Rosiere and Chaumont, and Sweet Haven Holy Church of God #3.

Remembering the Miracles Retired Director Mary Morgan Reflects on Her Tenure, the Future

Miracles do happen every day.

They happen at your Wa-tertown Urban Mission.

“The Mission really is just kind of a ‘miracle’ place and I just wish more people knew that,” said Mary Morgan, who retired from the Mission in February of 2011.

The executive director who served the Mission for six years, said she saw the hand of God at work in your Mission on a daily basis.

She recalled times when supplies dropped low and seemingly out of no where, that need was met by a ran-dom donation.

“We were always able to pay our bills, having that faith that the Mission is going to survive,” she said.

Mary said she misses talk-ing with staff, supporters and especially clients: “I miss go-ing there every day and being around folks, seeing people do better.”

She recalled advice she used to give both in her time at the county’s Department of Social Services and at your Mission.

“Treat people right—with respect and dignity—and they’ll do the same. In differ-ent circumstances you could be them—if you came from a

different family, went to a different school, or had dif-ferent friends,” the former director said.

Your Mission today con-tinues to serve people with dignity and respect, while we still benefit from that same divine providence, meeting challenges with your gener-osity and the generosity of other community minded individuals, businesses, or-ganizations, and churches.

“The future for the Mis-

sion is very bright,” she said. Mary said building on the

existing relationships with your Mission’s more than 40 member churches is impor-tant.

To get the job done, Mary expressed her confidence in our new executive director, Erika F. Flint, who joined your Mission last February.

“Erika is innovative and can take things to another level,” she said.

The Watertown Urban Mission is blessed to have had Mary among only four full-time directors in 40 years along with Jim Cortelyou, Pam Caswell and Erika.

HISTORY

In June 1967,

three ministers had

the vision to bring

churches of all de-

nominations to-

gether to help our

neighbors in need

and to empower

people to rise

above the struggles

in their lives. Six

months later, 15

Watertown

churches joined

together to form

the Watertown

Urban Mission.

Today, more

than 40 member

churches and hun-

dreds of commu-

nity-minded or-

ganizations, busi-

nesses and indi-

viduals contribute

to our community

through The Mis-

sion.

Sometimes the most unique do-nations make for great stories.

Earlier this year, a woman who had successfully endured the trials of chemotherapy and radiation to beat cancer stopped in to donate three wigs that she had used to cover her once hairless head.

The donation came to our Criti-cal Needs program and seemed to be an item that might sit for a while.

Just days later, however, another woman and her husband stopped by to deliver a personal thank you for the help they received from Critical Needs after she was diagnosed with cancer.

She had begun receiving treat-ments for breast cancer and had lost her hair. Critical Needs Coordinator Ann Lyman saw the opportunity to lift her up. She told the woman

about the wigs that had just come in. “She had cancer and only wanted

to say ‘hello,’ but when I gave her the wig to try on, she started crying and said ‘This is wonderful,’” Ann recalled.

So from one cancer survivor to a neighbor still in the fight, a wig, comb and care kit was passed, thanks to your support of the Water-town Urban Mission.

Bridge Program Update The Watertown Urban Mission’s Bridge Program offers an opportunity for indi-

viduals in trouble with the law to get their lives back on track by addressing the un-derlying cause of their crime, which is typically addiction. In 2011, the Bridge Pro-gram graduated 12 clients and at year’s end had 21 clients remaining in the program.

Among the clients who have graduated this program over the years are successful local business owners, teachers, alcohol/substance abuse treatment professionals. and several are employees at your Mission and the Impossible Dream Thrift Store.

“The Bridge program has helped to teach me how to deal with stress. A lot of my problems were from stressful jobs and not knowing how to deal with it. I appreciate the second chance I’ve been given,” said Mike Castor, who said he enjoys the volunteer component of the program, helping out in the Mission Food Pantry.

Wheels for Work Update After more than a decade of helping people keep their jobs by providing low cost repairs and reliable vehicles, the

Wheels for Work program will close in 2012 due to state cuts. In 2011, the Wheels program provided vehicles for 32 families, ensuring that the heads of those households are able

to retain their employment. You donated 13 cars in 2011, three of which went directly to families, the remainder of which were used for parts.

Christian Care Center Update The Christian Care Center has long been the welcoming arm of the Watertown Urban

Mission, giving visitors a place to go for coffee, conversation and acceptance. In 2011, we saw a renewed emphasis on service and faith with increased volunteerism, monthly Christian concerts and strong attendance for Bible study and devotions.

“I come for the friendship, to get out of the house and have something to do. Being a volunteer made my self esteem go up. It makes me feel important and gives me a cause,” said Chris Wiseman. “I really enjoy being here.”

The Christian Care Center’s core group has committed to increased responsibilities, including upkeep of the facility and working in the Impossible Dream Thrift Store. Your support ensures friendship, faith and meaning are available to everyone at the Mission.

You proved in 2011 that if we hold an event, you will come out in support.

The Watertown Urban Mission put on three major fund-raisers in 2011 and each was a great success thanks to high turnout numbers and generous donations. Your Mission put

on the 3rd Run for Recovery after a year off. More than 200 runners or walkers came out to the 5k and 10k courses at the Alex T. Duffy Fair-grounds on Sept. 10.

The event raised more than $13,000 thanks to all of you who gen erous l y s p o n s o r e d the run/walk

and participated. This year’s run is set for Sept. 8 with a new lead sponsor Alpine Fence.

In November, your Mis-sion added a new fundraiser: A Holiday Craft Fair. It fea-tured close to 50 vendors selling handmade, unique and boutique gifts at the start of the holiday shopping season.

More than 600 of you came out to shop. The event raised $3,200 and raised awareness about your Mis-sion with great news cover-age and publicity. The event is again planned for the Sun-

day after Thanksgiving. The Annual Auction in

May raised about $6,700 and attracted a packed house to your Mission.

In 2012 the event is scheduled for April 28 and will move to a b i g g e r venue at St. Anthony’s Church on A r s e n a l Street.

At each event, and many smaller events put on by many of you and your groups, you came out to show your support and we appreciate it greatly.

Every dollar raised helps us provide vital aid for our neighbors who are less fortu-nate.

Your Support Made Annual Events A Success Mission’s Three Fundraisers Draw Big Crowds in Support of Programs

Page 8 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Hearth Program Update In 2011, the HEARTH program was able to help more than 300 of your neighbors find

apartments or keep the housing they already have. The program, which was funded by a two-year federal grant came to a close this year, but it was a resounding success helping more than 700 people with rapid re-housing and homeless prevention funding. In 2012, your Mission will embark on HEARTH II with a smaller state grant but the same goals.

In last fall’s newsletter, we told you about Todd Ludwig who came out of treatment for addictions with nothing and said that because of the program he was able to stay focused on his treatment and today lives a drug free life. Without HEARTH and your support of the Mission, he said he doubts if he would have succeeded.

Without volunteers the Watertown Urban Mission would not be able to help the number of neighbors we help each day.

When need among your neighbors rose this year, you stepped up with your time to make your community stronger.

All told, we had the help of volun-teers for more than 38,800 hours in 2011. That’s an in-crease of more than 6,000 hours com-pared to 2010!

To put this in perspective, in one calendar year, you gave us 4 years and 156 days of your time to help serve the people in your community.

The reports we receive

from you who volunteer is that the experience is fulfill-ing and fun, plus you know that your services are needed.

Our top churches in vol-unteer hours were First United Methodist, Asbury United Methodist, and First

P r e s b y t e r i a n Church, along with First Bap-tist Church and Calcium Com-munity Church, whose members are very active in our Christian Care Center. In 2011, we were blessed to receive an in-crease in volun-

teer hours from Fort Drum, as well as community service from local courts, workfare

clients and Watertown Hous-ing Authority. Many give us more time than required, mak-ing it possible for us to keep the Impossi-ble Dream Thrift Store operating effi-ciently.

Dozens of you volunteered for special events from our fundraisers to our distributions, and these projects would not have been possible without you.

Even with all of this tre-mendous dedication by so many of you, there is always more work to be done.

Thank you in advance for your continued commit-ment to your Mis-sion in 2012.

Thank You for Your Time Volunteerism at an All-Time High with Watertown Urban Mission

MISSION FACTS: Volunteers at the Watertown Urban

Mission, if replaced by minimum wage employees, would increase

payroll by more than $281,000

The Impossible Dream Thrift Store has come a long way since it opened more

than 40 years ago. What was started as a small store to give the poor a place to stretch a lim-ited income has grown

into the county’s premiere locally run thrift shop with annual sales that topped $370,000 in 2011. But with all that growth, the store re-mains true to its original pur-pose – low prices that every-one can afford.

Over the past year, staff and volunteers have added Sunday hours and continued to make improvements to both the appearance of the store and the processing of merchandise to improve your

shopping experience. With that effort, we are able to make sure your donations are also put on the floor as quickly as possible.

Your generosity and the generous spirit of this com-munity in supplying our in-ventory have been over-whelming and greatly appre-ciated.

The store promoted sev-eral special events in 2011, including Cinderella’s Closet last April, which promoted the sale of reasonably priced prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who oth-erwise would not have been able to afford to attend the formal event. In total, 32 dresses were sold and came with coupons to have the dresses cleaned at either Nel-son’s Drycleaners or Pine Cleaner’s Dry Cleaning.

In addition, the store con-ducted two massive book

sales that brought in $1,345 in 50 cent hard covers and 25 cent paperbacks. The store’s Christmas sale was perhaps the biggest success of all events, bringing in more than $3,000 in sales over three weeks in November and De-cember.

The Impossible Dream is more than just a place to shop for some of our custom-ers—to some, we are an ex-tended family. We have com-forted customers in their time of need and provided them with a place to come free of judgment to shop, talk or just feel welcome.

We are blessed to have every one of you who shops with us because every sale helps make it possible for your Mission to serve your community.

It’s true when we say, “Every good deal is a good deed for your community.”

Toys for Tots distribution, which is the last one sched-uled before Christmas to en-sure we catch all of the chil-dren in need, provided nearly 450 children with presents.

All of this was made pos-sible by your generosity. Without donations to the Im-possible Dream and without the overwhelming generosity of each of you who brought in school supplies, dropped coats off, or even knitted and crocheted hats and scarves, your neighbors would have gone without.

Because of you, students started the year right. Whole

In 2011, your Mission’s Critical Needs Program pro-vided nearly 20,000 items of clothing, furniture and house-hold goods to more than 2,500 individuals and fami-lies.

In addition, more than 860 backpacks with school supplies were given to stu-dents in need.

Your Mission expects to finish the 2011-12 winter having provided another 1,000 winter coats with close to 1,500 hats, scarves, gloves and mittens to neighbors in your community.

In your Mission’s annual

families now have winter gear because of you. Chil-dren celebrated Christmas with a smile, because of you.

And because you give to the Impossible Dream, women moving into new housing to escape abuse have furniture and house-hold goods. Recently re-leased inmates have basic necessities to ensure they don’t resort to their old ways just to get by.

Your support of the Watertown Urban Mission Makes this all possible. Thank you.
