a letteR fROm OUR leadeRshipDear Friends,

There’s a problem. But we’ve got a solution…YOU!

From 2010 to 2011, the Center for Children and Families, Inc. (CCFI) experienced incredible growth in demand for our services. We served 58% more children and youth at our neighborhood Centers and 37% more children in services designed to heal and prevent child abuse and neglect. even our Baby pantry experienced this boom. By the end of 2011, we had twice the number of people obtaining diapers and formula each month compared to 2010.

some might say this is a good problem to have - that our services are valued and desired by families in the community. But, the demand for services remains greater than we can accommodate. this means we still have children on a waiting list for the therapeutic services they desperately need, and we still have to limit the number

of times individual children can attend neighborhood Centers each week due to staff and space constraints.

one could easily get overwhelmed and discouraged by these challenges, but not us, because we have You!

All of you - donors, partners, and volunteers - made 2011 a historic year for the Center for Children and Families, Inc. through you, history was made in 2011 as we raised more money from individual donors than we have ever raised in a single year. We also increased our volunteer hours by 21% with 439 volunteers giving 8,957 hours of service in 2011. What we witnessed is no less than a miracle – as the needs of children and families increased in our community, so did your support.

We hope this is evidence to you that when we say we need you, the need is real! As we move through 2012, we do so with great confidence and comfort, knowing that our community will provide. It is because of community advocates like You that we continue to advance our steadfast mission to ensure that every boy and girl grows up safe, nurtured, and loved.

Thank you for your abundant love of children, and thank you for being the solution.

With Gratitude,

mis

siOn To improve the lives of children through partnerships with families and communities because every boy and girl deserves to grow up safe, nurtured, and loved.

CCfi’s sYstem Of CaRe

Healing ChildrenA range of therapeutic services are provided to children and youth who have suffered from abuse or neglect. CCFI’s therapeutic approaches with children involve the entire family - including a child’s biological, adoptive or foster parents and other caregivers. services include children’s play therapy, family therapy, and parent support groups.

Empowering YouthHundreds of children and youth access weekly out-of-school time opportunities at CCFI’s neighborhood Centers. neighborhood Centers’ afterschool, evening, and summer enrichment opportunities include a low child to adult ratio, one-on-one and gender-specific mentoring, and family-oriented events.

Strengthening FamiliesCCFI’s goal is to help families establish positive, parent-child relationships through a variety of services, including home visits for parents of newborns, support groups for pregnant or parenting teens, support for families struggling with abuse and/or neglect issues, respite child care, classes and support for families dealing with a divorce or high conflict, supervised visits and exchanges, and a public Baby pantry with essential baby care items for families in need to access once per month.

CCFI serves children and youth (0-18) and their families (biological, foster, and adoptive) in the following three ways:

with the university of oklahoma’s Anne and Henry Zarrow school of social Work and a grant from the university of oklahoma’s school of Medicine. the project enabled Girl power participants to learn about and develop skills in photography, to engage in social action, and to share their work and views on health with community leaders.
