1 Our mission is to assure that the voices of children and adolescents are you for supporting our mission! Donor DispatchNEWS FOR CORNERHOUSE DONORSSUMMER 2016 Moren Finds Multiple Ways to Help CornerHouseBusiness Woman s Goal is to Support Staff, Advance Most Vital Mission Shawn Moren has been a CornerHouse Donor and volunteer for many years. She was first introduced to CornerHouse years ago, by another Donor and friend. Since then, she has danced as a competitor in the Let s Dance gala; volunteered as an auctioneer at the Twins Event; contributed as a Donor ; and been steadfastly committed to helping the kids, vulnerable adults, and families CornerHouse serves in whatever way she is a business woman.

2 But I can support that work by dancing, auctioneering, volunteering my time, raising money, and donating funds so that the people who DO have those skills can do that work. Her heart is with the staff members and with the clients they serve. When I first visited CornerHouse, I was struck by how difficult it is for children and families affected by abuse. You can t just bring an innocent child into a police station and have her give a report, or expect that she has the words to describe her experience to a doctor during a medical examination. Sometimes children are caught in the middle between parents, too. There are so many complications in these types of situations. Knowing that, she says, I am so glad CornerHouse exists. What is more compelling than helping children who ve been potential victims of abuse? I can t think of anything that is more important than that. Who would not want to help those kids out? CornerHouse is the most vital mission I can think of.

9 First, I got the news that our agency had received an incredibly generous gift from an anonymous Donor , $60,000 of which will be designated for Family Services programming. In addition to supporting our direct services, this gift will allow us to update our Family Meeting Room at CornerHouse, to make it more welcoming and comfortable for families who walk through our doors. Then, I received the news that our grant proposal to the Minnesota Office of Justice Programs was approved for $206,702. This funding is available for renewal for the next five years, which gives the Family Services Department the stability we have been seeking to sustain our current staffing level, and it also provides funding for an additional Family Services Specialist. Looking back over the past years, it is incredible how far the Family Services program has come, and I am humbled by the dedication of our staff, partners, Board, and donors to ensuring that kids, vulnerable adults, and families impacted by abuse receive the comprehensive support services they need to move forward and heal.

10 Thank you for your continued support! LIKE US ON FACEBOOK! Raised: $110,000 Attendance: Over 600 Plus, the Twins won!You are receiving this newsletter because you have donated to CornerHouse one or more times in the last few years. THANK YOU! We value your friendship and support so much. Why? Because you make help and healing for kids and families possible. In particular, our Family Services program is supported entirely via charitable donations. What does that mean?Families with kids who have experienced abuse and/or violence are often reeling, lacking the information, resources, or support they need to move forward. Our team of experienced professionals steps in to support them, providing them help they couldn t find elsewhere. Support, resources, advocacy. Someone to talk to when no one else is available or qualified. Someone to foster hope, to help them begin the healing process. These are the things the families we serve have thanked us for. These are the things YOU you for caring for kids.
