WE OFFER A CHOICE MODEL, ALLOWING CLIENTS TO SHOP FOR THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS AND FAMILY PREFERENCES. WE ALSO EMBRACE NUTRITIOUS OPTIONS, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON INCREASED AMOUNT OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND WHOLE GRAINS. WE DISTRIBUTED ENOUGH FOOD FOR 646,187 MEALS IN THE LAST YEAR, A 4% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. ON A MONTHLY BASIS, WE SERVE NEARLY 600 UNIQUE HOUSEHOLDS WITH ENOUGH FOOD FOR APPROXIMATELY 7-10 DAYS, WHICH IS NEARLY TWO TIMES THE STATE AVERAGE. WE ALSO OFFER A SNACK PACK PROGRAM IN EVERY STILLWATER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A CHARTER SCHOOL AND A PRIVATE SCHOOL. SNACK PACKS CONTAIN BREAKFAST AND LUNCH ITEMS FOR THE WEEKEND, WHEN CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO FREE OR REDUCED MEALS AT SCHOOL. IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, MOBILE CHOICE, A HOME DELIVERY SERVICE, WAS LAUNCHED, SERVING CLIENTS WITH LIMITED MOBILITY DUE TO AGE, HEALTH AND/OR DISABILITY. CLIENTS ARE CONTACTED BY VALLEY OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS WHO REVIEW A SHOPPING LIST, FILL THE ORDER FROM THE WAREHOUSE AND DELIVER THE FOOD DIRECTLY TO CLIENT HOMES. 365893 298103 CLOTHING CLOSET: THE CLOTHING CLOSET PROVIDES CLOTHING FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY FROM INFANTS TO ADULTS. IN 2015-16, WE GAVE 51,669 ITEMS TO CLIENTS. THIS IS A 36% INCRASE, BUT KNOW THAT WE ALLOW MONTHLY VISITS NOW, A CHANGE FROM A TWICE-YEARLY OPTION. THE SELECTION OF FREE CLOTHING GIVES CLIENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRESS CONFIDENTLY FOR AN INTERVIEW OR FOR THE WORKPLACE, AND TO BE WARM AND COMFORTABLE IN THE WINTER MONTHS, AS WELL AS HAVE ACCESS TO NEW SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR. 111350 43066 EMERGENCY FUND: THE EMERGENCY FUND HAS BEEN OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE CLIENTS SINCE 2005. IN PRIOR YEARS, WE HIGHLIGHTED OUR EMERGENCY FUND AS A STAND-ALONE PROGRAM. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO OFFER SPECIFIC FUNDS FOR REQUESTS MEETING OUR CRITERIA, WE HAVE WRAPPED THIS FUNDING INTO A BROADER CLIENT SERVICES AREA. ACROSS CLIENT SERVICES (RESOURCE ADVISING AND EMERGENCY FUND), WE SERVED 2,709 INDIVIDUALS. ASSISTANCE COMES IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. WE SUPPORT THOSE FACING FINANCIAL ADVERSITY BY PROVIDING FUNDS FOR RENTAL AND MORTGAGE EXPENSES, HEAT AND UTILITY COSTS AND CAR REPAIR THAT MAINTAINS RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. SUPPORT FROM THE EMERGENCY FUND CREATES STABILITY FOR CLIENTS IN THEIR CURRENT LIVING SITUATION, OR MOVES THEM TOWARDS SELF-SUFFICIENCY. CLIENTS GO THROUGH AN IN-PERSON INTERVIEW TO ASSESS ELIGIBILITY AND NEED. 77901 VALLEY OUTREACH ALSO MAINTAINS A FULL-TIME, STAFF POSITION FOR A RESOURCE LIAISON.
