Every one of our supply drives brought in more
donations than ever before.
• Our Back to School Supply Drive tripled the
previous year with 300+ backpacks filled and
given to kids in need.
• The Winter Wear Drive collected boxes of hats,
mittens, and scarves for clients to take from
“mitten trees” at all four branch locations.
• The Holiday Drive was a huge success with 20
companies, organizations and individuals
either adopting families or contributing gifts
from our “Wish List” for a grand total of $5,000
in donations.
• The Play Therapy Toy Drive brought in much
needed items worth $500.
• Our Camp Supply Drive provided sleeping
bags, flashlights, bug spray and other supplies to
send 20 kids to camp for the first time.
Thank you Deloitte volunteers!

make the project a success. Thanks to Board

encouraged us to apply for this opportunity.

2008 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends,
Like most of our country,
Family & Children’s
Service experienced
some pretty rough
weather in 2008.
While the families we
serve struggle with the
mounting economic
woes, many changes in
—PROVERB
nonprofit funding have
also put pressure on our
organization’s budget. Even as
the election of the country’s first AfricanAmerican president evokes great hope and
prospects for the upcoming years,
uneasiness about the near future remains.
“Smooth seas do
not make skillful
sailors.”
Family & Children’s Service faced this
challenge as we have every other storm in
our 130-year history – by bringing together
the “heads, hands, and hearts” of our board,
staff, volunteers, friends, and participants to
find creative ways to deliver
programs and services, while
trimming costs. The result?
We helped over
27,000 people
lead safer,
healthier,
and more
productive lives!
Heads focused on delivering
quality services
• We adopted new best practices in mental
health and violence prevention and
intervention, and served 12,734 people.
• Both locally and nationally, we continue to
lead the way in community building and
civic engagement. We brought together
more than 8,000 local residents to work on
projects that improved conditions for kids
and families. And, for the second straight
year, we were invited to host a national civic
engagement institute to share our strategies
with others from across the country.
• We redesigned our school success services
to meet changing community needs and
served 6,011 kids and families.
Hands worked to maintain a
balanced budget
• 551 people gave over 9,000 hours of
service – a 57% increase in volunteers.
• 583 donors gave generously – 13% of
returning donors increased their gift
from the previous year, and we added
39% more new donors/friends.
• 13 new revenue sources were added
to our list of funders.

friends know us; in
adversity, we know

Gloria, a single mother of three
children, was having a difficult time
thinking of even one thing positive to write
down during a family gathering at her children’s
school. After some encouragement from Vicki, our staff
facilitator and the other parents, Gloria revealed how she
promised her children that she will read to them every
night. She has never broken her promise, despite working
two jobs. The other parents were amazed and wanted to
know how she managed it.

One spring morning, 40 families,
many of them Somali and Russian
immigrants, learned they were about to lose their
homes when the management at their St. Louis Park
apartment complex decided to no longer accept Section
8 housing vouchers. Tenants were given 60 days’ notice to
find new places to live.
The residents turned to Family & Children's Service for help.
Amina, one of our community organizers, helped the residents to
form a tenants’ association. Through this association, the
residents were able to negotiate with the property
firm and avoided having to move. The company
allowed the tenants to stay, and the tenants agreed
to pay a supplement toward the rent.
The demand for rental apartments has risen
considerably due to the current economic
downturn. This leaves many low-income families
at great risk to lose their homes and is why our
community building work is so important.
As one tenant said, “I couldn’t afford to
pay moving expenses again, and now
my children won’t need to transfer
to new schools. My family
thanks you!”
Tommy was withdrawn and not doing well in school. He and his
baby sister had been placed in a foster home when their mom lost
parental rights due to her drug habit and physical abuse of the children.
Tommy’s foster parents brought him to see Robin, one of our therapists with
expertise in children’s mental health issues.

Everyone was impressed when Gloria arrived with
library applications, a whole library cart of books,
and talked about all the resources at the library.
Through this experience using the “Heads,
Hands and Hearts” activity, Gloria gained
confidence in herself and said, “The best
part is, now my kids see me as a
role model and a leader in their
school!”
• We maintained our focus on children and
they became the core population of our
clientele. Now nearly 60% of our clients are
children, a 45% increase since 2006.
• We continued our mission to give help to
those less fortunate: 75% of our clients who
sought us out for help live in poverty. We
provided them with services like low-cost
mental health care, which they otherwise
couldn’t afford.

Gloria told them she went to the local library and made friends
with the librarian, who now sometimes gets books ready for
Gloria’s family when they’re in a hurry. Gloria said, “Reading
together gives me the best feeling in the world.” As she
began talking, her body posture changed; she became
confident and even agreed to make a presentation at our
next meeting.
At first, Tommy couldn’t even say whether he’d like something to
drink when Robin asked him at the beginning of each session.
Through play therapy, Tommy began to learn to say how he felt and
what he wanted. When he was living with his mother, he had no
control over her moods or his young life. Robin also taught him
yoga movements and breathing techniques to use if he started to
feel anxious or angry.

In many of our programs, we do an activity

The goal for Tommy was to reunite with his dad. Together,
they participated in counseling with Robin. After nearly a
year, the dad regained custody of the children. Tommy
had become a gregarious little boy who now
asked Robin for something to drink when
they met. His dad was happy to be a
part of their lives again and said,
“I can’t thank you enough
for bringing our family
together – now
we’ve got
hope.”
