PATRICK MCNULTY Chief Executive Officer LETTER FROM CEO

2021 ANNUAL REPORT CONTENTS

As I reflect on 2021, the word that immediately comes to mind is appreciation . St. Vincent de Paul Georgia was one of the few “essential service” providers that never shut down during the pandemic. We were strong in our commitment to provide HOPE and HELP to our neighbors in need in the areas of HEALTH, HUNGER and HOUSING. Staff, volunteers, and Board demonstrated great faith, resilience, and fortitude in operating our keystone programs and services, while also executing on behalf of many new partners (including municipalities, cities, counties, and the state) when Georgia needed it most. The confidence and trust from these partners (primarily in the form of grants and direct aid) is a testament to the impact we make in our communities. Our reputation and infrastructure positioned us to be able to respond to the many needs with little notice during some trying times. Our gratitude extends to our 73 conferences and their leaders; 40 food pantries and their teams; 11 thrift stores and their record results; and all the individuals, families, corporations, government entities and foundations that helped us collect and distribute roughly $25 million worth of services – positively impacting the lives of over 160,000 individuals . The other word that comes to mind is Transformation . The newly renovated Support Center, provided by our successful capital campaign, Hope Transformed , positions us well to deliver programs and services for years to come. • We launched Georgia’s only state-wide community pharmacy. We now serve uninsured and underinsured, eliminating tough decisions that those in need must make around medications or nutrition. By year end, we were filling over 800 prescriptions per month. We are now averaging almost 1000 prescriptions month! • The expanded Client-Choice Food Pantry and Family Support Center are evoking very positive reactions from the clients (and donors) who have been able to utilize it. They love the design and details that make it an efficient and dignifying experience – welcoming to the eye and supported by a hard-working team. What a transformation! Housing continues to be a challenge for many in 2022. Inflationary costs have pushed rents and sale prices to unexpected highs. St. Vincent de Paul Georgia is further assessing and expanding our role in this sector, as we continue to be dynamic in helping those with housing needs address their gaps. We provide Motel 2 Home services and other unique residential support, and are evaluating how we might be able to provide additional housing-related services to more neighbors in need. None of the above is possible without you. Your continued interest, passion and prayers are what make this organization successful and impactful. Thank you again for helping us provide Hope to those moving toward self-sufficiency. Sincerely,

WHAT WE DO Focusing on Hunger, Housing and Health, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia meets basic needs, removes barriers to stability and creates paths to self-sufficiency through direct services, education and empowerment to provide help and hope to neighbors in need in Georgia.

Our work addresses issues fundamental to stability, self-sufficiency and long-term success by:

INCREASING HOUSING STABILITY

INCREASING HEALTHCARE ACCESS

DECREASING HUNGER/ FOOD INSECURITY

WHO WE ARE Founded in 1903 by a group of concerned parishioners in Atlanta, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia has grown over the past 119 years to become the oldest, largest and most trusted state-wide social services safety net organization in Georgia. St. Vincent de Paul Georgia operates a main community support center in Chamblee with a full-time staff providing programs and services for neighbors in need. In addition, our 73 local service hubs across the state are staffed by 2,500+ trained volunteer caseworkers who make St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s critically-needed – yet otherwise unavailable – programs and services available and accessible to those most in need of them. Respecting the dignity of each person, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia serves neighbors in need across Georgia regardless of age, race, status, faith or orientation. OVERVIEW With a mission to provide Help and Hope to neighbors in need, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia has been serving individuals, families and communities across the state since 1903, stabilizing those in crisis and creating paths to self-sufficiency.

St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides a spectrum of safety net social services to give both immediate help and also hope for a self-sufficient future.

HOME VISITS Our Home Visit is the heart of what we do at St. Vincent de Paul Georgia. Visiting neighbors in need in their homes respects their dignity and provides a private setting so they can freely discuss their personal challenges. During Home Visits, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia caseworkers conduct an initial assessment, collaborate with individuals and families to create actionable plans for removing barriers to stability and provide critically-needed services such as emergency financial assistance, food, clothing, prescription medication, transportation assistance and more. COMMUNITY SUPPORT CENTERS St. Vincent de Paul Georgia has two Community Support Centers to serve neighbors in need. Located in Chamblee and Lakewood (south Atlanta), program staff and caseworkers at our Community Support Centers provide a comprehensive menu of services including intake and assessment, emergency assistance, food pantries, pharmacy services, education programs and more.

We have launched exciting new programs and services, including the St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Community Pharmacy, Client-Choice Food Pantry, Teaching Kitchen, Connected Classrooms and more.

HOW WE INCREASE HOUSING STABILITY

EMERGENCY RENT, MORTGAGE AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides emergency financial assistance for rent, mortgage and utilities to individuals and families at risk of eviction who meet eligibility and income criteria. MOTEL 2 HOME St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s Motel 2 Home program works to move low-income individuals and families living in extended stay motels into permanent, stable housing. The program provides financial assistance for rent, deposits, moving costs and related expenses, intensive case management, financial education, connection to family and work supports and supportive services to ensure basic needs are met and individuals and families are stable. TRANSITIONAL HOUSING House of Dreams House of Dreams is a Transitional Housing program for homeless women without children who are willing and able to change their own lives and become self-sufficient. Located in Smyrna, GA, House of Dreams provides shelter, life and work skills classes, job assistance and more. St. Michael’s House St. Michael’s House is a Transitional Housing program for homeless women with young children who are willing and able to change their lives and become self-sufficient. Located in Woodstock, GA, St. Michael’s House provides shelter, meals, employment assistance, financial education classes and more. TEMPORARY HOUSING St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides temporary housing in hotels or shelters and assistance with moving or storage of personal items when eviction cannot be avoided. HOUSING REFERRALS + RESOURCES St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides referrals to partner agencies for housing services and resources such as housing counseling, tenant legal aid, shelters, homeless assistance and more.

HOUSING St. Vincent de Paul Georgia increases housing stability through eviction prevention, rehousing and transitional housing programs and housing services for at-risk individuals and families.

STABLE HOUSING IS A KEY DETERMINANT IN ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES.

• In Georgia, 542,000 renters – 23% of all renters in the state – are not caught up on rent. • In Georgia, 2,308,000 adults – 33% of all adults in the state – have difficulty covering basic household expenses. • Low-income households are more likely than other renters to sacrifice other necessities like healthy food and healthcare to pay the rent, and to experience unstable housing situations like evictions. • People who are in unstable housing situations such as those who need to move multiple times in a year or have difficulty paying rent face poorer health outcomes than people with stable housing.

MOTEL 2 HOME PROGRAM OUTCOMES

• 44 families served in 2021 • Average motel length of stay = 16.2 months • Average credit score at start of program = 510 • Average credit score at completion of program = 615 • Average hourly wage increased to $20.21 by completion of program • 100% maintained housing at 1 year • For participants starting program in 2019, 100% maintained housing at 2 years

CHILDREN ARE THRIVING!

• School turnover has been reduced • Children are joining sports and extracurricular activities • Several have advanced to college and/or entered the workforce

MOTEL 2 HOME Launched by St. Vincent de Paul Georgia in 2019, Motel 2 Home is a comprehensive rehousing program designed to help low-income individuals and families move from extended stay motels into stable housing. Extended stay motels have become the homeless shelters of the suburbs for many families. Even though most of them are working full-time, they often have no other alternative after experiencing an eviction because most property owners will not rent to a tenant with an eviction record. They move in thinking it will be a temporary solution but become trapped as high daily and weekly rates and local motel taxes leave them little money to save for paying off debt of paying deposits on a new apartment.

PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ARE THRIVING!

• 1 became certified insurance claims adjuster • 1 became certified property and casualty claims administrator • 1 became certified EKG technician • 1 started her own CPR/BLS certification business and secured corporate contracts • 1 became a partner in a well-known food truck and catering business • Several were promoted to “supervisor” roles

HOW WE FIGHT HUNGER

CLIENT-CHOICE FOOD PANTRIES St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s 40 Client-Choice Food Pantries, located at our community support centers in Chamblee and south Atlanta and local service hubs across the state, provide food assistance to over 115,000 food insecure households each year. Our Food Pantries utilize a Client-Choice model with neighbors in need receiving food assistance able to select the food they want at no cost, choosing fresh produce, meat, baked goods and non-perishables. This Client-Choice model not only reduces food waste from unwanted food, but also reinforces the dignity of each person – a fundamental tenet of St. Vincent de Paul Georgia. Neighbors in need can “shop” for food in-person at St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Food Pantries or choose home delivery service or curbside pick-up. TEACHING KITCHEN + NUTRITION EDUCATION The innovative St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Teaching Kitchen features semi- commercial, energy-efficient appliances in a classroom-style space to provide nutrition education, cooking demonstrations and classes on healthy eating, feeding a family on a budget, cooking skills and more. Participants are able to prepare their own food with supplies from St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s Client-Choice Food Pantry and take home nutritious prepared meals. FOOD RECOVERY + DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s Food Recovery + Distribution Program is essential for stocking our 40 Client-Choice Food Pantries. Through partnerships with Kroger, Publix, ALDI and Sam’s Club, our Food Recovery + Distribution Program recovers food from grocery retail partner locations, including fresh produce, meat, baked goods and non-perishables. SNAP BENEFITS ASSISTANCE St. Vincent de Paul Georgia provides Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits eligibility screening and enrollment assistance to low-income individuals and families to ensure that at-risk and vulnerable hou seholds have access to sufficient nutritious, healthy food and do not go hungry.

HUNGER St. Vincent de Paul Georgia creates access to food to reduce food insecurity through food pantries, food recovery and distribution, nutrition education and more to ensure individuals and families in Georgia have food on the table and do not go hungry.

ACCESS TO FOOD IS A KEY DETERMINANT OF HOUSEHOLD STABILITY FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES.

• More than half a million children in Georgia - 1 in 7 - are food insecure. • In Georgia, 1,279,310 people are facing hunger. • Children and seniors are at greatest risk of food insecurity in Georgia. • The working poor, veterans and Georgians who live outside metro Atlanta are also at higher risk of food insecurity.

Each month, the Food Recovery + Distribution Program recovers over 25 tons of food from 45 grocery retail partner locations, including Kroger, Publix, ALDI and Sam’s Club, preventing more than $2 million of food waste per year.

St. Vincent de Paul Georgia operates a large warehouse at our main service center in Chamblee complete with industrial walk-in refrigerators and freezers, storage and sorting areas. SVdP Georgia also maintains a fleet of trucks, including refrigerated vehicles, and experienced drivers on staff to operate the Food Recovery + Distribution Program. FOOD RECOVERY + DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM PARTNERS

TEACHING KITCHEN

The new St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Teaching Kitchen launched in 2021, initially providing twice weekly classes and professional chef-led cooking demonstrations for low-income veterans in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs focused on nutrition education, cooking skills, healthy eating and feeding a family on a budget.

The $50 that you spend in an St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Thrift Store will fill a prescription for someone who is unable to afford their life-sustaining medication or put food on the table of a family that would otherwise go hungry. The funds raised through sales at St. Vincent de Paul Georgia Thrift Stores stay in each store’s local community. Donated items are sold at discount prices to community members or given away for free to neighbors in need. Items that cannot be sold are recycled.
