In 2013, as we emerged from several years of difficult economic conditions in a solid position, our emphasis at KIDS Center has focused on Witness to resources Domestic the future direction of the organization and our ability to continue to expand supporting the most vulnerable members of our community. To establish new avenues through which we can pursue courses of action to solidify our long-term sustainability, we asked Violence ourselves three general questions: “What is it we do?” “For whom do we do it?” “How do we excel?” To answer these questions, KIDS Center’s Board of Directors worked with local facilitator, Moe Carrick, to update strategic statements that speak to the heart of KIDS Center. Our new strategic statements, along with some of my observations of how we’ve integrated them into our organization, include: Cultivate a vibrant and innovative culture that inspires the best. Ensuring that staff, volunteers, and Board members are well supported and resourced so they can bring their best to the children and families we serve. This includes more funding for staff trainings, creative appreciation and a balanced workload. Embrace a collaborative and intentional approach to fundraising that provides financial stability. Cultivation and development of donor relationships on multiple levels, throughout the year, to create, plan, and implement a successful Healing Hearts Luncheon, the first annual Cork & Barrel Fundraiser, and our annual holiday card donor appeal. The community response was generous and no doubt reflects their will and determination to help children and their families who are impacted by abuse. Utilize trusted and creative strategies to engage the community in celebrating the history, optimizing services, and fulfilling the mission of KIDS Center. Dedicated Central Oregonians built KIDS Center 20 years ago and this unique beginning has enabled us to be flexible and creative in engaging the community. This year, founding members of our organization came together and brainstormed ways to celebrate our upcoming anniversary. Those tremendous individuals had a phenomenal vision and because of their commitment, dedication, and perseverance, KIDS Center continues to be creative and responsive to the needs of children. Refine and strengthen the current service model to allow flexibility in meeting the needs of the region as resources are available. As a nonprofit mindful of the vital community resources entrusted to us, KIDS Center strives to stretch every dollar into meaningful service. This year, programs were directly allocated 90 cents of every dollar received. New services included collaboration with community partners to launch a 24-hour response for children who witness adult interpersonal violence and expanding services for non-offending caregivers. Unfortunately, with all of the successes over the past 20 years and a well-defined strategy for the future, our work at KIDS Center is not finished. As the numbers presented above attest, child abuse still occurs on a regular basis in Central Oregon and KIDS Center will continue to provide abuse prevention services; relief to victims of child abuse; and assistance to County District Attorney’s Offices, local law enforcement agencies, the medical community, and DHS Child Welfare to ensure we are ready and prepared to welcome every child and their family, when they need us the most. We count you, our community, as the heartbeat that inspires the work we do each and every day. Thank you for the steps you’ve taken over the past year to support children and families in our community!

“The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has had a long-standing partnership with KIDS Center since they launched their vital services in the early 1990’s. Every year we invest in KIDS Center by providing necessary and significant financial support so they can serve every child that needs a child abuse evaluation. We feel that this support is well spent as the quality of their services and reports ensure that our team can make the best decision when it comes to arrests and keeping our community safe.” -Sheriff Larry Blanton, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office
Cork & Barrel is a Huge Success!
July 11th launched our first annual Cork & Barrel Event Series presented by Avion Water Company that culminated with our gala event at Tetherow Golf Club on July 13th. With the heartfelt generosity of corporate and individual sponsors, the best of Walla Walla winemakers, local and guest chefs, The Maybelle Clark MacDonald Fund and the many friends who joined us, we raised over $250,000 to help fund child abuse evaluations, treatment and prevention throughout the tri-county area. In recent years, KIDS Center has experienced fluctuating and declining revenue from various sources including a drastic reduction in insurance reimbursement rates for medical exams, resulting in an approximate $80,000 shortfall in each of the last four years. Thanks to community support, we hope to eliminate that yearly financial crisis with the inception of the Cork & Barrel wine event series.

Healing From Domestic Violence
In the Fall of 2013, KIDS Center helped launch a new Forensic Interview Pilot Project in partnership with the Deschutes County Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), modeled after the successful Lane County Child Witness Project. In the early stages of the program, KIDS Center worked with the Bend Police Department to respond within 24 hours when there was an incident with any minor child in a household where one adult (parent) is arrested for a violent crime against another adult (parent) or against another child in the home. Over the course of 2014, additional law enforcement agencies including the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office will join the program. KIDS Center will provide an immediate appointment for the non-offending parent or caregiver and any children ages 4-18 years who may be emotionally or physically injured during the altercation. The response team will include DHS/Child Welfare, the District Attorney’s Office (DDA and Victim Advocate), Saving Grace, Parole and Probation staff member, KIDS Center Forensic Interviewer and family support as needed.
