Annual Appeal 2019 - General

At Community First, we draw from the inspiration of our founder, Addie
Cullen, who—more than a century ago—gifted her residence to become a
home where active and independent older adults could live as a family. The
community she built played a vibrant and active part in their downtown
Hamilton neighborhood. Addie’s vision was championed over the years by
other Butler County residents with a passion for innovation and a vision for
their community.

This one gift has grown exponentially through the decades, pioneering new
and diverse programs to support the evolving needs of our friends and
neighbors. Today, you turn to Community First because you know that our
network of resources can provide the solutions you need.

Whether you rely on Meals on Wheels deliveries or need 5-star therapy after
surgery; whether you need access to affordable prescriptions, want to provide
a strong start in early education for your child, or call Berkeley Square or
Westover home— you know that you can count on Community First to meet
your ever changing needs.

One individual’s vision that inspires others can revolutionize an entire
community. That collective impact permeates thousands of clients, dozens
of programs, and hundreds of employees, all connected by Community First.

TOGETHER WE MAKE A

Our networks help us in the decision-making process because they are
people we trust: a good friend offers a recommendation for a car mechanic,
a doctor makes a referral, or a family member shares their best-kept-secret
favorite restaurant.

Community First Solutions is your not-for-profit network, offering a
continuum of care that streamlines your path to your best life. Because we
build a personal relationship with each client, we are able to understand
your unique needs and connect you with more solutions.

What’s the network all about? It’s about your trusted therapist at
Jamestowne post-acute care recommending the valuable benefits of the
elderly services program through LifeSpan. It’s about finding a new gym
buddy to work out with at Elements. It’s about meeting your friends for
a delicious meal at The Coach House. It’s about your behavioral health
counselor offering you a new start in life.

Each recommendation within your network extends the impact you make
and the trust you build with those you love.

With individual gifts to Community First, you create a ripple effect of
positive growth in your community network and beyond.

Co mmunity Behavioral Health Jasmine

My recovery was possible because
of my counselors. They were
supportive, realistic, empathetic,
and understanding. I was quiet at
first, but soon I was talking to new
people when they came in and
helping them. I am able to have
dreams again now and to wake up
to a wonderful reality.

We love our Meals driver; he
always has something good
going on and brings us meals
for each day of the week. I
knew I couldn’t cook that much
anymore because I cannot stand
that long. Our FLEET driver texts
us fun messages every day, and we
are always happy to see each other.

<SALUTATION>,

Your gift to Community First Solutions or its many individual programs
creates a much larger collective impact that projects through our
community. You already support your community in daily ways: saying
“hello,” offering words of encouragement, and lending a hand. Your
impactful gift can be directed to a program that has touched you
profoundly, or it can help where it is needed most so that we can create
a legacy of impact together.

You are an integral part of our collective impact: Please consider making
a donation today.

I never thought I’d like to
exercise, but when I went to
Elements, my instructor made
everything so much fun. I’ve
got all the moves down now!
I feel so much healthier, so I
convinced my sister to come
too, and we catch up at lunch
after class.
