Community impact and financial data for 2022. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT Who We Are Locations & Tours Board of Directors Leadership Donate More Top A YEAR OF RESILIENCE After recovering from the immediate crisis of COVID-19, the world is slowly returning to pre-pandemic life. And while the challenges are far from over, our programs and clients have found ways to triumph, even in uncertainty. In 2022, the food bank doors remained open in the face of economic instability and reduced buying power. Afghan and Ukrainian refugees fleeing conflict and persecution found safety and solace through our resettlement program. Parents returning to work filled the gaps in basic needs at our Community Resource Centers. And adults with intellectual disabilities are finding supported employment at the thrift store in Sultan. Stories of resilience echoed throughout VOAWW in 2022. MAKING AN IMPACT HUNGER PREVENTION We distributed 6.1M pounds of food to over 163,000 neighbors across Snohomish County in partnership with local food banks and meal sites. WHY WE GIVE Themes of charity, kindness, and service are universal, but we asked local philanthropists their reasons for giving to VOAWW. Their answers are as varied as the services we provide. Some rely on their faith as a direction for investing in the wellness and care of others. Some say trust in knowing their donation will be maximized encourages them to give time and again. And yet others say the impact that our organization makes across Puget Sound and Washington State is why they designate VOAWW as their charity of choice. We strongly believe in performing acts of mercy, several of which are nicely given in [Matthew 25:21-46] For [my wife] and me, that means we should help people who need assistance with food, clothing, and shelter. Another belief of ours is that although we worked hard and were financially prudent, the money we have is not really our money. God blessed us to have it. Deep down, we believe it's actually God's money. He has allowed us to have it and to be stewards of it, and we will be accountable for how we use it. When people are giving, they want to make sure that money is going directly to the source and maximized to its fullest potential... There’s overarching support for areas of need, whether it’s food on your table or education or helping people find housing. And we know the donations stay in our own backyard. We give thanks for the partnership and community outreach of Volunteers of America. We have been delighted to be an ally with them as they advocate for those who don’t have enough. In Luke’s gospel, Jesus bids his disciples to “feed them.” Suddenly five loaves and two fishes are enough to feed 5,000 hungry Galileans! It seems good to us to participate in the same kind of divine wonder here in our own time in our own neighborhood. VOA is the best way we know to share that in a way that blesses those most vulnerable." We love partnering with VOA because its obviously a very recognizable charity... and when people are giving, they want to make sure that money is going to be maximized to its fullest potential. And with a organization like VOA, I think it ensures that confidence. [Our giving] is a collaboration between our staff and our clients... so, it’s important that we are aligned with an organization they can trust. Heartache to Hope Heartache seemed to be a constant companion for Colleen. In high school, she suffered a concussion that went untreated. Its effects visited her in adulthood as a seizure disorder and a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI). A friendship with a coworker and roommate dissolved into abuse, transforming her home into a battleground. Life got tougher in May 2019 when her roommate abandoned the apartment without warning, leaving Colleen to pay rent she couldn’t afford alone. Eviction quickly followed. She and her 9-year-old son Jackson found a safe haven with friends in Seattle. In October, a seizure-induced fall on the bus left Colleen with five broken facial bones. Days later, feeling crowded, her friends asked the pair to leave. “You learn in your lowest moments who you can count on and who loves you.” She couch surfed, helped her sister with childcare, moved to Eastern Washington to live with her mom. Winter turned to spring. COVID swept through the country. A lack of adequate remote learning resources for Jackson forced them back to the west side of the Cascades. “Help was hard to find because we didn’t have stability,” and living with disabling seizures meant Colleen’s outlook for finding work was grim. Hopelessness and TBI triggered a battle with depression. And one year after her fall injury, living in a broken-down vehicle with only a small space heater to keep warm, Colleen was out of options. She called North Sound 2-1-1, and referral specialists put in a call to Maud’s House on Monday. By Friday, she and Jackson were sleeping in beds. A rocky start in the house learning to live with other moms and children taught her “... a lot about patience and challenging your own judgments,” she remembers. ”Now I have a better understanding for others. I learned… compassion.” Maud’s House Program Manager Natasha Lindsay took time to learn about Colleen’s struggles, to help light a path forward. The first step was to locate a therapist and address past trauma. Next, Colleen was connected to a housing navigator that found local assistance. Assuming multiple diagnoses meant a disability placement that comes with limits, Colleen was shocked to find out it was a permanent placement, giving her freedom to start making her own choices and mapping out her future. Today, she has a small place of her own, continuing therapy and working on a course in data analysis. As a lover of puzzles and statistics, and needing to sit for work, it’s the perfect downshift from her old life and the fast pace of being a phlebotomist on her feet all day. As for Jackson, he can safely walk to school and back home. His own home. Still, Colleen knows, it’s been difficult. “Kids are resilient, yes, but they are also affected. Jackson has anxiety and ADHD. He doesn’t always connect with other kids.” But with an established routine and stable housing, she can focus on helping Jackson, now 12, find his own path to healing. “Last night was the first night in two years – two years – my son slept through the night.” Heartache has turned to hope.

Sky Valley Haven provides emergency overnight shelter for youth 12-17 and offers daytime drop-in services like case management, homework help, activity clubs, support groups, and mental health counseling. VOAWW Home Location Get Involved Contact Us Sky Valley Haven will offer six beds of emergency overnight shelter for youth ages 12-17. During the day, the Center will provide drop-in services and programming such as case management, homework help, activity clubs, support groups, and mental health counseling. We are currently working on funding to support overnight operations and special programming. Meeting Community Needs The need for this project was identified in 2018 when the Sky Valley Youth Coalition, a program of VOAWW on the VOA Village at Sky Valley, identified that more than half of program participants experienced housing instability or homelessness. The nearest shelter for youth experiencing homelessness is in Monroe and routinely operates at capacity. This leaves Sky Valley youth with limited options to travel far outside their communities for shelter and/or stay locally in situations that are not safe. Our program will work closely with the Sultan School District, Sultan Police Department, and community service partners to identify youth in need of shelter. While participating in shelter services, youth will have access to wraparound support, including case management and access to on-site services for mental health services and referrals for health care services. Sky Valley Haven 1st Floor Plans Sky Valley Haven 2nd Floor Plans Sky Valley Haven 1st Floor Plans 1/2 Design The main floor of the Haven offers social spaces for youth including a gaming area, a large kitchen, computer room, storage lockers for shelter guests, laundry, and staff offices. The second floor includes shared bedrooms, a half-bathroom and staff office. The completed facility will be just over 3,200 square feet. Location Location 605 1st St. Sultan, WA 98294 Become a Service Partner We are still in the planning phases and interested in hearing from potential partner organizations who may be interested in providing services on- or off-site to participants. If you’re a partner agency and would like more information about supporting youth as part of our drop-in daytime services, we'd love to hear from you! Partnership Inquiry Volunteer Volunteers will be needed once the program opens to assist with drop-in center activities, inventory, etc. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, visit volunteer.voaww.org or email us!

VOA Western Washington impact and financial data for 2024 2024 ANNUAL REPORT Program Highlights Why Give Leadership Financial Summary Coming Soon! Top In 2024, VOAWW continued to empower individuals and strengthen communities across Washington State. Our programs reached thousands, providing 24/7 crisis support through our nationally recognized crisis contact center, youth development programs, housing assistance, and senior care. We helped individuals facing homelessness find stability, supported families through life’s challenges, and provided space and activities for seniors to thrive. Our dedicated staff and volunteers have been vital in offering essential resources, from behavioral health services to providing safe spaces for youth. With your ongoing support, we remain committed to fostering hope and creating lasting change, ensuring that those in need have access to the services and care they deserve. Together, we are building a brighter future for all. VOAWW at the Building Resiliency Conference A Letter from Our CEO As we reflect on 2024, I am filled with immense gratitude for the progress we have made together at Volunteers of America Western Washington (VOAWW). This year has been marked by extraordinary stories of resilience, transformation, and the deep support from our community. None of this would be possible without three essential groups: our incredible Board of Directors—both past and present—whose leadership and dedication continue to guide us, our passionate staff—nearly 900 strong—whose commitment to our mission drives everything we do, and our supporters—donors, volunteers, community partners, and elected officials—without whom none of this work would be possible. It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful to have you as part of ours. We witnessed the profound impact of our services this year through stories like Tricia’s. A single mother of four, Tricia and her children were sleeping in their car before finding support through our housing services team. When they spent their first night in a warm motel room, her children cheered, “Yay! We get pillows! We get to take a bath tonight!”—a heartbreaking reminder that basic comforts are a luxury for so many. Today, thanks to your support, Tricia and her children have moved into stable housing, giving her the opportunity to build a better future for her family. Our mission—to empower people and strengthen communities—is at the core of everything we do. Whether we are nurturing the potential of our youth, providing meals to those facing hunger, or supporting elders in our senior centers, VOAWW remains steadfast in our commitment to serve people in every season of life. Your contributions sustain this work and amplify our impact. We have also seen an unprecedented rise in the need for food assistance. In October, our Everett Community Food Bank served 9,616 of our neighbors, the second-highest number in a single month in the past 25 years—a 32% year-over-year increase. The need is great, but so is our determination to meet it. As we prepare for the future, I invite you to deepen your involvement with VOAWW. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering your time, or even serving on our Board, your engagement is critical in helping us build a stronger, more compassionate community. Together, we have accomplished so much, and yet, there is more work to be done. Thank you for standing with us in this mission. With your support, we will continue to bring hope and opportunity to those who need it most. With gratitude, Brian Smith President & CEO Volunteers of America Western Washington 2024 Highlights 860 dedicated staff are essential to providing the dozens of services among our 8 key program areas serving Western Washington, with some programs operating statewide. Empowering People. 10.6M lbs of food distributed, providing nearly 9 million meals to neighbors in need. 289,283 calls & texts answered, helping neighbors in crisis find the support, hope, and care they need. 89,830 hours of in-home care helping 68 adults with developmental disabilities live independently. $1.1M in direct assistance to 4,541 households, supporting basic needs like rent, utilities, and groceries. Strengthening Communities. 28,024 hours served by 602 volunteers of all ages, bringing hope and help to community. 6,407 seniors supported in healthy living, building connection and belonging at our community centers. 137 preschoolers gained the skills needed to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. 1,388 disputes resolved through mediation, fostering peace and understanding in families and communities. 2,848 families families remained housed and stable, preventing homelessness through eviction prevention Stories from 2024 A Place to Belong: How VOAWW’s Community Centers Are Changing Lives Something was wrong. Almost a year ago, Kristi noticed she was having trouble hearing out of her right ear. What followed was ten months of uncertainty—six different doctors, one misdiagnosed cyst pressing on her auditory nerve, two MRIs and CT scans. And then, in April, 2024, her neurosurgeon delivered the real diagnosis: it wasn’t a cyst at all. It was a tumor. A rare, slow-growing ganglioglioma, heart-shaped and menacing. In September, Kristi underwent a four-hour surgery to remove it. 1.5 square inches of skull were taken from the back of her head, 24 stitches closed the seven-inch arc above her ear, and five grams of tumor were excised from her brain. Then came the real work—healing. It took just 29 days before Kristi was back at the Carl Gipson Center, moving, stretching, and lifting alongside her friends in Cora’s exercise class. "My neurosurgeon emphasized that doing Cora’s classes made my recovery easier and faster," Kristi says. But it wasn’t just the physical movement that brought her back—it was the people. "If it weren’t for my family and my friends here supporting me, it would’ve been a dark time." At Volunteers of America Western Washington (VOAWW), we believe that no one should have to face life’s challenges alone. That’s why our community centers exist—to be a place where people find strength, connection, and support. As Cory Armstrong Hoss, Executive Director of Senior Services, explains, "At VOA community centers, we offer a variety of programs for the physical, mental, and social well-being of seniors. From exercise classes to games like bridge and billiards, we create safe spaces where people can belong." For many, that sense of belonging is life-changing. The Carl Gipson Center serves not just seniors—those 50 and over—but also individuals with disabilities and refugees. Seniors today face real challenges. More than half of the people who visit our centers live alone, and the pandemic only deepened the struggles of isolation and loneliness. "We work every day to combat that by getting to know people, introducing them to each other, and fostering small, supportive communities," Cory explains. For Kristi, the Carl Gipson Center has been more than a place to workout—it’s been a lifeline. "I finally found my Washington friends at CGC," she says. Whether it’s exercise, an affordable meal, or a trip to the Ice Caves, the friendships and experiences she’s gained have made all the difference. At VOAWW, we see the difference these centers make every day. They provide not just programs but a community—a place to heal, to grow, and to belong. Faith, trust, and impact inspire donors to give—knowing their support creates a lasting change for our neighbors. Why Give? “We give to VOAWW because they were there to help my family and when we were having a hard time” “I was in a place where I needed help many years ago. I know how hared it is to free yourself from the lifestyle, drugs and homelessness.” “Giving back enables me to be a part of the work done for the community at Carl Gipson Center. This is a part of the values I hold being a Christ follower of living, loving, and leading like Jesus” “I chose to give because of the work VOAWW does and the communities you focus on. You guys live out Matthew 25 in real life so well and that's a true model of following the Lord. So, I'm happy to help out in any way I can!” “My family grew up using the local food pantry for our groceries. I am in a position to give back these days.” Did you know? 91¢ of every dollar donated goes directly to programs impacting our communities.
