FY 2014: 7/1/13 – 6/30/14 Activities & Accomplishments Brief History In 1974, a small group of women, neighbors, and friends set out to find alternatives for a woman in their group, a mother of three whose husband had suddenly decided he no longer wanted to be married. He had cleared out the family bank accounts, liquidated many of their joint assets, and moved to California. The Community Crisis Center opened its doors July 29, 1975. In the beginning, none of the staff knew or even suspected the existence of the problem of domestic violence. They were simply meeting the needs of individuals and families in crisis. After one week, however, they met the first “battered woman”. Looking back, the Crisis Center owes much to that first woman. She quickly and effectively pointed out all that they didn’t know. What began with staff’s frustration with a system for a lack of services to meet the needs of this woman, ended in an agency’s diligent search for appropriate answers. Ultimately, those answers were translated into a service program for victims of domestic violence. In a similar manner, all programs offered today by the Crisis Center emerged from the original hotline and shelter experience. Being the only agency available 24 hours a day, every day; sharing a home with clients helped Crisis Center staff to learn first-hand about the many needs of families in crises. And, when it was determined that an appropriate service response did not exist, the Crisis Center went to work to discover or develop that response. Services During FY 2014 (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014), we provided 40,509 hours of service to 5,298 adults (1,570 male and 3,728 female) and 460 children. These 5,758 individuals contacted us for reasons related to domestic violence, sexual assault, economic crisis or other life crises, including thoughts of suicide, relationship or family problems, depression or other mental health issues. 73% resided in Kane County, 14% in Cook County, 3% in DuPage County, and 2% in McHenry County, and the remainder from elsewhere in Illinois or from out-of-state. 295 women and 230 children spent 8,894 safe nights in our Shelter Program. 1,564 families received 26,104 meals for our Emergency Food Pantry; 36,836 diapers were provided to 814 households; holiday food baskets were distributed to 389 families in November and 237 families in December; 971 winter coats, 1,021 hats and 1,243 pairs of gloves were provided to those in need. Community Crisis Center provides the following programs and services: Domestic Violence Program Sexual Assault Program Economic Crisis Program Abuse Intervention Program Children’s Program Community Education & Outreach
