Meals are provided by Network church groups andby individual volunteers. We are especially dependent on churches, families and individuals to provide the eveningmeal and to serve as overnight hosts. We were successful in getting churches signed up to bring meals for only abouthalf of the weeks in 2012, leaving the remaining weeks without regular providers. This shortage required us to spendmany extra hours calling individuals to serve meals and stay overnight as well as purchase food items to cover thosemeals we could not get covered by volunteers.5

IHN improved its use of technology. Social media enabled us to connect with our Network of churches, ourvolunteers and donors, and the larger community. Our website has been revised and we have added Facebook.We will maintain our memberships with our national organization, Family Promise, and with the Ohio Association ofNonprofit Organizations (OANO), through which we glean valuable training and resources. Art Powell continues tovolunteer his services in maintaining our donor base through our GiftWorks software.Respectfully submittedJim Evans6

VICE-PRESIDENT’S REPORTDON SCHNEIDERThe facility has stood up well this past year. We have had a few minor problems like plugged up drains, etc.but all is going well.This past year we gained some experience with the security system and learned some things that we had notforeseen when we did the renovation. As a result we decided that we needed to upgrade the DVR with morerecording capacity and added another camera over the alley.We have experienced some difficulty with the Apple computer systems that were provided by the XeniaCommunity Schools and have had to shut them down for a short period. We are working with the Schoolsto correct the problem and believe that it will be corrected soon.We were also able to have a new sign erected in front of the building so that people can more easily find ourfacility. With the building set back from the front of the surrounding building by several feet, people weregoing right by it and missing it. Now with the new Schneider House of Hope sign the facility is moreprominent.Mr. Art Powell has done an excellent job of making good use of the GiftWorks software program keepingtrack of all of our donors and making sure that our mail list is kept current.We are still using the wood chips for the mulch around the playground equipment. After our initial work toinvestigate other mulch and padding we have decided to go with a relatively inexpensive material that isreadily available locally and can be added to as the old material is worn down. This project will becompleted in the spring of 2013.Fortunately, we have not been required to use the tornado/disaster survival kit however we did have theelectricity to go out for several hours. We had previously purchased some LED lanterns which were issuedout for temporary lighting until the electricity came back on. We will be looking into installing anemergency generator system to power the facility in the future.Respectfully,Don SchneiderVice-President, Board of Trustees7

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORTCHERYL A. CARTERIn 2012 we were extremely blessed to be able to assist so many people. Many needs were met fromschooling such as GED’s, budgeting, parenting to counseling, to assisting in finding housing and makingsure adequate supplies and household items were available when a family moved out. The average length ofstay was 55 days so a lot was accomplished in a short period of time.Each day at Interfaith offers new challenges. Each person whether young or older offers newchallenges but we take each one individually and meet their needs. As always we want IHN to be a safe andsecure haven for those in need of all our services.Respectfully Submitted,Cheryl CarterExecutive Director8

TREASURER’S REPORTPAUL MARANKAThe cash flow for the Schneider House of Hope (IHN) has increased by 29% from December 2012 toDecember 2013. We ended 2012 with our actual income exceeding our budgeted income by approximately6%. During the same period our actual expenses were within .16% of our budgeted amount. We thereforehad a favorable performance of income exceeding expenses by 6%. This very good financial performancefor the year enabled IHN to start 2013 with a very good cash balance-on-hand. However, this balance wasinfluenced by a very substantial individual contribution at the very end of 2012 that standard accountingpractice deem that we must recognize this donation as 2012 income although it will be wholly used foroperating expenses in 2013.The following comments concerning IHN’s sources of income continue to be true. As we have noted inprevious annual reports, a number of our grants in the past have come from organizations that were willingto fund legitimate capital improvement projects but not so willing to fund operation expenses. We continueto search for ways to increase our permanent income stream beyond personal giving, our church partners,and existing grant givers to cover our ongoing operating expenses. To that end, we continue to search forindividuals who are willing to lead projects that will result in permanent income flow similar to our annualgolf marathon. We have been able to create a team whose sole responsibility is dedicated to finding andapplying for grants from organizations and foundations that have money to give to worthwhile causes.Unaudited financial statements are included in this Annual Report. Included are the Balance Sheet and thecomparison of our profit and loss results compared to the budgeted amounts for each financial account. Itshould be noted that all dollars are cash only. Churches, other service organizations, businesses, and manyindividuals provide many hours of volunteer time to assist our permanent employees and the donation ofusable items for our guests. These non-cash contributions play a significant role in our ability to operate theSchneider House of Hope. As an organization, we are sincerely grateful to all of the assistance that hasbeen provided.Respectfully submitted,Paul Maranka, TreasurerTREASURER’S NOTEThe 2012 financial data presented in this report are not the audited statements that will be provided by our auditingfirm. The official audit will not be available until sometime in April, 2013. The year-end financial statements thatwere presented to the Board of Directors at the Annual Board meeting are available for review at any time. We donot expect any material differences between the unaudited year-end statements and the final audited financialstatementsRespectfully submitted,Paul Maranka, Treasurer9

NETWORK COORDINATOR’S REPORTVacantThe Network Coordinators position has been vacant through 2012 requiring the Executive Director and oneof the staff to connect with the individual church coordinators to obtain volunteers to provide food andovernight hosting. As mentioned in the Presidents Report, We have been successful in getting churchessigned up to bring meals for only about half of the weeks in 2011, leaving the remaining weeks withoutproviders. Consequently, one of our staff members has had to fill in this position to fill those needs.Two members of the Board have been contacting Greene County churches in an effort to enroll theirassistance to cover the remaining weeks. There are so many ways that a small congregation can support IHNand help the homeless in Greene County. We hope to be successful in connecting with thesecongregationsThe current host and supporting congregations, as well as the host congregation coordinators, arelisted on the next two pages.11
