Board Chairman
Dear Friend,
This past year was another
amazing one for Completely KIDS.
The agency continued its quest to
empower kids and families and to
create a safe, healthy, successful and
connected community. Here’s how!
• HEALTHY KIDS – In 2014,
Completely KIDS provided more
than 17,000 nutritious meals
through its Weekend Food Program.
Keeping the children in our
community nourished and healthy
throughout the weekend so that they can return to school each week energized and
ready to learn is critical to their success.
• SAFE KIDS – Basic swimming and water safety skills are often lacking in
children living in poverty. Last year, nearly 290 children learned how to swim
through the Charles E. Lakin Learn to Swim Program.
• SUCCESSFUL KIDS – Completely KIDS revised its curriculum to reinforce
academic concepts through project-based learning, centering on a theme of
interest to the children, for upper elementary youth and hands-on group learning
for lower elementary youth.
• CONNECTED KIDS – Throughout 2014, Completely KIDS continued its
focus on strengthening families by providing family-centered activities to engage
parents with their children and by connecting families to local resources.
We ended 2014 fiscally strong due to the phenomenal support of all our donors,
so thank you for all you do for Completely KIDS. Thanks, also, for the countless hours
provided by our board of directors, advisory board, guild board, staff and volunteers.
What Completely KIDS does for our community, its families and kids matters, and it
has been an honor for me to serve as Board Chair.
Sincerely yours,
Margaret C. Hershiser
Dear Friend,
As an agency last year, we made
a commitment to center our efforts
on the strength of our organization:
assisting children and families in
overcoming barriers to their success. By
fixing our focus on this area, we were
able to expand services to more children
and enhance our program offerings for
the children and families we serve.
Let’s take a closer look at some
of the highlights of 2014. Because of
the charitableness of numerous loyal
donors, volunteers, board and guild
members, and community partners, Completely KIDS:
• Served an additional 220 children who were on our waiting list in our after-
school programs. Specifically, several private donors generously stepped up to
meet this need.
• Extended community partnerships to better address the needs of the families
served through our parent program.
• Realigned our programs to reflect our new vision and mission.
• Revamped our program curriculum to incorporate a more extensive and
project-based group learning approach.
• Magnified community awareness resulting in additional volunteers and
budget-relieving in-kind donations.
• Increased the number of children served in our Weekend Food Program while
refining the menu to be more nutritious.
• Observed record attendance at our special events.
We look forward to what the remainder of 2015 brings, and as always, take
pleasure in knowing we have such dedicated supporters to back the mission of
Completely KIDS.
Sincerely,
Penny Parker

Outcomes

Homeless
Completely KIDS provides after-school
programming to youth living with their families
in three area shelters – Phoenix House, The
Salvation Army and Stephen Center. Due to high
mobility, children living in a shelter are often
even more behind academically and socially
than other children living in poverty.
All youth who have participated in Completely
KIDS for 30 days or more are evaluated upon
entering and exiting the program based on
their ability to relate to peers and accomplish
tasks, their confidence level and their conflict
resolution skills. Because the social-emotional
development of the youth is vital to the agency’s
mission, the goal is for 70 percent of youth in
the Completely KIDS shelter program to show
improvement in these areas.
