KenCrest 2021 Annual Report
Celebrating
115 Years of Home, Health, and Happiness!
A Message from our CEO
In 2020, KenCrest celebrated 115 years as a human services provider organization.
KenCrest 2021 Annual Report
It’s amazing to reflect, recognize, and appreciate what has been accomplished since our early beginnings as a few dedicated individuals helping immigrants with tuberculosis in a Philadelphia neighborhood. It’s just as amazing to think
I
n the past year, KenCrest staff ensured that the
people we support enjoyed as much normalcy as
possible, even when activities in the community or seeing friends and family were limited. Staff
created new activities for residents in our homes to engage with one another, oftentimes through daily virtual “meetings.” We continued to turn over the
keys to apartments for people who wanted a place of their own through our Supported Independent
Living program. And our Lifesharing families went above and beyond to keep the people in their care on their daily routines to minimize the impact
of the pandemic. For many at KenCrest, “home”

residents, early learners, and other colleagues safe. Some of our staff began offering services remotely through smartphones, tablets, and computers so
even the youngest people we support could continue
them. Throughout this past year, health and
wellness have been at the forefront of every aspect of our work.
While there were plenty of difficulties and sorrows in the past year, we tried to bring some moments
of happiness to those we support. Annual trips to
the shore were replaced with virtual vacations with the help of new enabling technology to “visit” a new land or experience the front row of a rock concert for the first time. Staff acknowledged
residents’ birthdays with drive-by celebrations,
balloons, singing “happy birthday” from their cars,
and gifts. And when it was safe, children who wanted
to return to their Early Learning Centers were
happy to be with their mask-wearing friends again. It’s been quite a historic year for us in so many ways, and through it all, we’ve kept our focus on home, health, and happiness for all whom we support.

We’ve come a long way since 1905 and the singular focus of treating those with tuberculosis in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Over the course of 115 years, KenCrest has expanded our locations to include Connecticut, Delaware, and Southeastern Pennsylvania. While each state offers slightly different services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, all of them provide residential living options. But at KenCrest, our residences are more than a place to live…they are a place to truly call “home.”

KenCrest staff strives to ensure that every resident enjoys the space in which they live. One such person, featured on the next page, is Mike, who takes delight in the beauty of his own backyard. Two
roommates, Darryl and Fred, are also part of Supported Independent Living. They chose to relax in the safety of their home during the
pandemic. These gentlemen enjoy the freedom that living in their
own place gives them, while receiving
the support services they might need from KenCrest.
For those with complex medical needs, KenCrest’s Community Medical Homes
employ expertly trained medical staff and maintain superb technology to aid in the residents’ care. Each of these homes are
staffed with caring, qualified nurses and (continued on next page)

support professionals who not only attend to the residents’ needs 24 hours a day, but also
create cozy and inviting living spaces. This spring, after 17 years of living in a Transitional
Care Home for Children, Tracy left her KenCrest residence to move to her biological family’s home. During her time with KenCrest, the staff who cared for Tracy took her on many trips, including one to Disney World via the Make-a-Wish Foundation, celebrated her birthdays,
prom and high school graduation, and even taught her how to sew masks when the pandemic
hit. Tracy, who has depended on specialized care for her entire life, overcame many obstacles in her long journey, and KenCrest persevered and advocated until Tracy was able to move on to her next home — with her family.
Since 1985, Lifesharing provider families have opened up their own homes and invited
someone with disabilities to share their lives in a supportive family environment. People with disabilities share more than meals and vacations with their provider family…they share their hopes and dreams for the future. They also learn to trust and care for one another. During
this past year, family providers went the extra mile in many ways to ensure the health and
safety of their lifesharing partners, like Rhonda Moore with the gentleman who shares her
home, Tom. Rhonda had the barbershop call her when no one was there so that Tom could keep up with his routine trim, which is important to him, and he would not be exposed to
others while getting his hair cut. This was a small thing for Rhonda, but it meant the world to Tom.
Despite the COVID-19 challenges during the past year, we made keeping everyone safe and feeling loved in their home a priority. After all, there’s no place like home. P

The health of those we support as well as our staff was at the forefront of every discussion and decision as we began our 115th year as an organization — just as it was in 1905. With the coronavirus rapidly spreading, the leadership at KenCrest acted quickly and met several times a week to discuss what needed to happen in each program, how new safety protocols were working, and how to offer our clients and staff vaccines when the opportunities arose.
T
o keep the residents in our homes as safe as possible, staff were trained on new safety protocols regarding
hand washing, wearing masks properly, new cleaning
procedures, and limiting visits with people who did not
live or work in the homes. Direct support staff stepped up
in every way to keep the residents in their care, as well as themselves, protected from exposure to the virus. Thanks to many generous donors, KenCrest received masks,
cleaning supplies, and personal protective equipment to keep residents and staff safe.

learning for much of the year to ensure that students and teachers could safely learn while not being face-to-face

“I was so excited to be asked to work at one of KenCrest’s vaccine clinics …I was willing to do whatever I could to help our staff and our clients, and working the clinic was a great experience. It was fantastic to see so many people take this step to protect their health and the health of those around them.” Nicole P., KenCrest staff member strategies for mental health check-ins with themselves and their children. These sessions, conducted by Ms. Marilyn, the Family Service Worker at the Kensington Early Learning
Center, offered valuable tips for parents in handling their children’s behaviors and emotions during the pandemic. Many families raved about how helpful her suggestions were and how they changed the family dynamics for the better during this challenging time. When we made the decision to suspend activities at our Pennsylvania Community
Participation programs, we had no idea that in a few months we’d be using those centers as sites for Rite Aid to come in and administer COVID-19 vaccinations to residents, staff

members, and other human service provider agencies in the region. KenCrest leadership worked closely with the Office of Developmental Programs and the Philadelphia
Department of Public Health to make the vaccines available to all staff and residents
who wished to receive it. More than 850 people received vaccinations at KenCrest hosted
clinics in Pennsylvania in the spring of 2021. We also found vaccination sites for our employees and clients in Delaware and Connecticut through their government health
services, and teamed up with Walgreen’s to do several mobile vaccination clinics for homebound people.
No matter what service people received this past year, KenCrest made every effort possible to maintain their health and safety.

The pandemic forced the cancellation of many daily activities this past year. However, KenCrest found ways to bring happiness to those we support to keep spirits up and put smiles on faces.
Happiness at KenCrest
S
everal people supported in our Employment program had to learn new safety protocols as well as a few new responsibilities, especially those
working in grocery stores like ACME and Giant. Despite the changes that the pandemic brought to their jobs, all of them had one thing in common: they were happy to be working, especially when so many were not as fortunate. Billy, a store associate at Walmart since September 2020, was thrilled to be working, earning a paycheck, and socializing with his peers.
When milestone birthdays, like Wayne’s 50th, came around for our residents,
KenCrest staff formed drive-by caravans with balloons and signs hanging from their cars and honked horns. Drivers sang “Happy Birthday” or shouted well
wishes to the honorees who sat at the end of driveways. Staff made sure that each person in our care who celebrated a milestone birthday received some
extra-special love this year. We also made “happiness deliveries” to those who needed a little pick-me-up with balloons, flowers, or a basket of treats. (continued on next page)

P When Wayne celebrated his 50th birthday, KenCrest staff formed a caravan to drive by his residence, sing, honk, and wish him well.
Because those we support could not go out into the community as they had before the pandemic, KenCrest invented new ways for them to
enjoy their days. Through a private website, staff created new weekly activities including bingo, drawing classes, dance parties, cooking
lessons, chair yoga, and sing-a-longs, to name a few. Our Enabling
Technology department purchased four sets of virtual reality goggles that allow people to take “virtual vacations” from the comfort of their homes. They also delivered convertible laptops (which are both a
laptop and a tablet in one device) to many of our homes so that more residents could connect with others online when in-person visits were not possible. Family members were able to visit their loved one at a
hugging booth that KenCrest built in one of our Pennsylvania Community Participation locations. Families, like KenCrest resident Drew and his
parents, could safely give hugs through a plexiglass wall with hugging sleeves built into it, bringing smiles and happy tears to many faces. After several months of not having in-person education, our Early
Learning Centers opened up again in January 2021, allowing children to come back to the classrooms if they desired. The little learners
were thrilled to be able to see their friends and teachers again. Even
through the masks, their smiles lit up the rooms that had been empty for many months.
Although we faced countless limitations this past year, KenCrest continued to deliver the happiness that our clients deserve. 15

Advocacy
at KenCrest
Not even a pandemic could slow down KenCrest’s crucial advocacy efforts on behalf of children, families, and people with disabilities. Despite the challenging environment, the advocacy department supported our constituency with their usual zeal — testifying before legislators; hosting virtual program tours; attending advocacy events; and meeting with elected officials in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.
T
his year, the agency’s advocacy efforts focused on COVID-19 relief funding
and raising awareness for the nonprofit
provider community. KenCrest advocated passionately and successfully for policies and funding that support community
inclusion and high-quality early learning and child care. To position our priorities
and messaging, KenCrest worked closely
with advocacy partners and membership
associations to communicate the pandemic’s impact with Congressional and statewide leaders.
KenCrest’s Executive Directors testified before multiple bodies of government,
including Philadelphia City Council,
the Delaware General Assembly, and the Connecticut General Assembly. These leaders advocated for policies that
promote accessibility and inclusion, and for family-sustaining wages for direct
support professionals (DSPs). Additionally,

legislators could see how the programs
safely adapted and hear directly from child care staff on their experiences working through the pandemic.
KenCrest actively empowers staff and families to participate in the agency’s
advocacy efforts, whether through
registering to vote or contacting legislators, we remain committed to using our voice
and influence to make the world a better — and more inclusive — place for all.

Masters
115th anniversary with a special KenCrest Masters through a variety of virtual videos honoring our history of home, health, and happiness.
I
n a year of so much uncertainty, the support of this year’s KenCrest Masters ensured that 2020 was a
success for all of the KenCrest Family. We are beyond
grateful to see how our community rallied to support those who depend on KenCrest so that they can
continue to live inclusive, meaningful lives. This
year’s event raised $161,623 to explore possibilities, mobilize resources, and empower dreams.
Thanks to all of our amazing sponsors, and a special thanks to NFP, Marie Becker, and Angela and Colin
Dougherty for their peerless leadership as part of our
event committee. We had a blast showing off all that’s going on in KenCrest’s programs through our videos,
which can still be seen on our YouTube channel under the “KenCrest Masters 2020” playlist.

At KenCrest, we offer a variety of ways for our donors to invest in our mission. Gifts designated for “where it’s needed most” will allow KenCrest to address our most critical needs. You are also welcome to restrict your gift for a specific program or need, such as improvements to a community living home, transportation needs, supplies for our Early Learning Centers, or employment opportunities.
Ways to Give Checks Please make checks payable to KenCrest.
Credit Cards We accept credit cards over the phone or online at: www.kencrest.org/donate
United Way You can designate KenCrest through Donor Choice #00839.
Matching Gifts Check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching gift program. The doubling of your gift has a huge impact on those we serve.
Legacy Gifts Many donors choose to fulfill their philanthropic wishes in coordination with their financial and estate
plans. You may also choose to name KenCrest as a beneficiary of your will, trust, retirement plan, or insurance policy. You may also choose to establish a gift that pays an income to you, the donor, before ultimately benefitting KenCrest.
To learn more about giving opportunities, contact Jeff Dubnow, Chief Development Officer, at 610-825-9360, ext. 1023. 32 | KenCrest 2021 Annual Report
