Dear Friends,2015 was an exciting year of growth and development here at Growing Home. We began the year by creating six new staff positions to better serve families and strengthen internal operations. After months of planning, our Board of Directors adopted Growing Home’s 2015-2018 Strategic Plan, a document to guide program delivery and growth into the future. With the help of an extraordinary and generous group of volunteers, we renovated the Food Pantry over the summer, vastly improving how we serve families visiting our food pantry and participating in the shelter program. We launched a redesigned website and introduced a new logo to better tell the stories of Growing Home and the more than 5,000 families we served. Those are just a few of the things that kept us busy last year! Here are some more highlights:

Blocks of Hope – Growing Home’s initiative focused upon the Tennyson Knolls Elementary School community – successfully completed its initial year and began year two in August, 2015. Growing Home again gave away backpacks filled with school supplies to every Tennyson Knolls student who wanted one, along with other children living in our neighborhood – 1,300 in all. Our volunteer-led, after-school tutoring program expanded to serve both 1st and 2nd grade students in 2015.

We also published the results of our Blocks of Hope Community Survey, which we invite you to read in full on our website. The survey revealed both the shortcomings in available services which Blocks of Hope families navigate and the considerable strengths they display in family life, as they work hard to give their children every opportunity for success.

In May, I (Teva) was honored to receive the Livingston Fellowship award, allowing me to meet with and learn from innovative thinkers across the globe. I’m bringing those lessons and partnerships back to Growing Home where we can put them into practice. In the coming year, we will spend more time considering the underlying issues faced by many of the families we serve and working to become even better advocates in and for our community.

Each year, as we look back over everything we’ve accomplished, we are awed and humbled by the contributions of our 1,400 volunteers, our Building Homes Society members, our donors, our partners, our staff, and our community. If you haven’t visited Growing Home in a while, we’d love to reintroduce you to our work and hopefully inspire you to join us – as a volunteer, an Ambassador, or a donor. Check out our website at www.growinghome.org, and while you’re there, sign up for a tour!

Thank you all!

Sincerely,

Teva Sienicki, MA Leslie Gonzalez, MEdPresident and CEO Chair, Board of Directors

Blocks of Hope is Growing Home’s collective impact initiative, a strategy to align community resources within the Tennyson Knolls Elementary School attendance area. As we’ve gotten to know our neighbors we’ve seen firsthand their strength, compassion, and commitment, and we’re excited to join the community!

Growing Home is working to elevate the voices of community members and to offer families a rich pipeline of programs focused on school readiness, parent involvement, student achievement, attendance, and family stability. We are bolstering the momentum for change by increasing community resources to serve 60% of neighborhood families in the coming years.

COMMUNITY ADVOCACYConcerned residents notified Growing Home that part of 72nd Ave., between Sheridan and Lowell, would close for six months for construction in 2015, causing transportation and economic hardship for the community. Growing Home supported our community members with a phone, email, and Facebook outreach campaign to encourage residents, volunteers, and staff to share their concerns with local officials. The Westminster City Council heard those voices and changed the plans to accommodate area residences and businesses while still completing the necessary construction. The section of 72nd was closed for a handful of weeks throughout the year with a partial lane closure the rest of the time.

COMMUNITY SURVEYWith support from The Denver Foundation, Growing Home and Colorado Center on Law and Policy partnered in the fall of 2014 to conduct a community survey in the Blocks of Hope neighborhood surrounding Tennyson Knolls Elementary School. We completed more than 200 interviews so that we could learn about the neighborhood, collect baseline data and metrics from which to measure the progress of Blocks of Hope endeavors, and to hear directly from the community about strengths, challenges and desired services. The final report of the survey was published in 2015 and has shaped Growing Home’s plan of action for the future. We look to increase advocacy and community development, continue to grow Blocks of Hope programming, add staff to better meet families’ needs, and expand to additional nearby elementary schools in the coming years.

BLOCKS OF HOPEAs part of the Blocks of Hope initiative, Growing Home began a pilot tutoring program during the 2014-2015 school year at Tennyson Knolls Elementary. Volunteers worked with 1st grade students twice per week on reading and math lessons. The pilot program was a great success as students’ test scores improved and many of the children became more excited about learning. At the start of the 2015-2016 school year, Growing Home expanded the tutoring program to serve 1st and 2nd grade students.

SERVING MORE FAMILIESGrowing Home is growing! In 2015, we hired three additional full-time bilingual Parent Educators to support our award winning Parents as Teachers program. Growing Home served 65 additional children in 2015, totaling 454 children who participated in Parents as Teachers. An additional Family Support Specialist joined our team to support our growing Blocks of Hope program and to work directly with neighborhood families. As our programs grow so does the work within in our administrative offices. Growing Home hired an Operations Manager to ensure our office runs smoothly and effectively, and a Development Coordinator to expand fundraising efforts.

As Growing Home expanded to serve more families with additional staff and program expansion we also needed to expand physically. Growing Home’s Day Center, utilized by families staying in our shelter program, received an upgrade by relocating to the Rocky Mountain Lutheran Synod. Families now have more privacy and additional amenities. Meanwhile, our Feeding Families Food Pantry received a major renovation by utilizing the space vacated by the Day Center. This project spanned five months and was almost entirely performed by our incredible volunteers. The food pantry now includes a larger shopping area and a waiting area with activities for children, nearby storage and food preparation rooms, and a streamlined process to better serve the more than 300 families who visit the food pantry each month.

STRATEGIC PLANNINGGrowing Home’s Board of Directors adopted a new strategic plan to guide Growing Home’s development over the next three years. The 2015-2018 Growing Home Strategic Plan focuses on four critical issues to strengthen Growing Home’s services and position the organization for future growth: Programs, Financial and Human Resources, Marketing and Communications, and Space.

PAY FOR SUCCESSPay for Success is an innovative approach to addressing com-plex social issues by advancing high-performing programs. The model supports mutually beneficial partnerships between private funders, service providers such as Growing Home, evaluators, and government entities.

Growing Home was a part of a collaborative partnership with Adams County School District 50 and the Early Childhood Partnership of Adams County (ECPAC) to hire an Innovation Fellow through the University of Utah to conduct a feasibility study for its Pay For Success program.

Westminster Public Schools hosted Governor Hickenlooper’s signing ceremony for House Bill 1317 at the Early Childhood Center. This bill allows the state to invest CO dollars into Pay for Success project to support early childhood education. District 50 is leading the way with an innovative Pay for Success model. The bipartisan bill recognizes the importance of early education and the understanding that when kids come to school ready to learn, they succeed.

LIVINGSTON FELLOWSHIPTeva Sienicki, Growing Home’s President and CEO, along with other recipients was selected for the prestigious Livingston Fellowship Program by the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation. Teva was selected based on her exceptional leadership ability and her commitment to Colorado’s nonprofit sector. The fellowship program acknowledges aspiring nonprofit leaders by providing advanced learning and professional development through a $25,000 award. Recipients use their fellowships for professional development activities that may include study, research, travel, executive coaching and peer learning.

“I’m so excited to join this group of energetic and creative leaders,” said Teva. “I see this award less as a recognition of what I have been able to accomplish with my team, and more as a challenge to do better. Every child deserves to reach their potential, and I look forward to developing as a leader in order to bring better solutions to Colorado communities.”

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHTKathy Marquez has been involved with Growing Home since 2010, when she began collecting holiday gifts for Growing Home families through her church. Kathy has volunteered in Growing Home’s food pantry, but when she received her degree in Project Management in 2015, she knew she could help Growing Home in a new and exciting way. Kathy volunteered to serve as Project Manager of Growing Home’s Feeding Families Food Pantry renovation. As a food pantry volunteer, she was well aware of the constraints the existing space and was eager to improve the operation.

Now complete, the food pantry renovation was a tremendous success and completely opened up the once cramped space. Kathy loves being a part of the Growing Home community, working closely with families, staff, and other volunteers. Kathy lives in Thornton with her husband William. They are the proud parents of three children who come and volunteer with Kathy occasionally.

Growing Home would like to thank Kathy for her skills and dedication throughout the renovation project! You truly made an impact with Growing Home and the families we serve.

IN 2015,

GROWING HOME SERVED MORE THAN 17,000 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN 5,000 FAMILIES. KEEPING WITH OUR MISSION, 60% OF THOSE WE SERVED WERE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18.

GROWING HOME RELIES ON 1,400 VOLUNTEERS EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU TO OUR 2015 VOLUNTEERS.

MIKE AND MARY ELLEN LITZAUMike and Mary Ellen Litzau became Building Homes Society members in 2015. Mike and Mary Ellen are active members of their church – Spirit of Christ – and volunteer widely in the community.

“Our initial contact was through adopt-a-family. Mike and I wanted to show our children a way of giving back. And, of course, our church is a shelter site, so we learned more about Growing Home through that. Mike and I believe that everyone has a basic right to food and shelter,” explained Mary Ellen.

Mike continued, “Then our prayer group – people already volunteering for Growing Home – involved us in food pick-ups from the farmers markets, during the summer. And, we do that to this day.”“What keeps us involved, though, is Growing Home’s mission,” said Mary Ellen. “Growing Home gives its families the tools to succeed. We can’t do what we don’t know. Growing Home’s classes and programs help families who are determined and enthusiastic to learn new skills and change their lives around. In addition, Growing Home operates where we live. It’s very local. And, Growing Home makes our volunteering feel very important to their mission.”

Mike agreed, “Growing Home quietly goes about its business, doing what it needs to do to make a difference in peoples’ lives. Growing Home makes a large impact on the people it touches.”

BUILDING HOMES SOCIETY The Building Homes Society is composed of individuals who pledge to contribute $1,000 or more each year for five years. Building Homes Society members partner with Growing Home and sustain the programs that serve families in Adams County – with food, shelter, rent and mortgage assistance, and essential classes to support parenting skills and prepare children for school.

The gifts and pledges of Building Homes Society members make it possible to budget into the future, maintain existing services, and plan new avenues of assistance. Knowing that we can count on continued support from this special group, Growing Home staff can operate strategically and focus its work and its resources on better serving children and families.

GROWING HOME AMBASSADORSGrowing Home Ambassadors are friends who open doors for our organization in the community by spreading the word about Growing Home: hosting a tour, or bringing 10 guests to a tour at least once. This can be in someone’s home or office, or here at the Growing Home office. Consider becoming an Ambassador and help us build momentum and “buzz” in our community about the many ways Growing Home helps families – so that we are no longer the best-kept secret in our community.

1. WE RESPECT AND CARE FOR THOSE WE SERVE AND FOR ONE ANOTHER. WE WELCOME DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND BACKGROUNDS.

2. WE FOCUS ON EFFECTIVENESS. WE EXPECT RESULTS, EVALUATE WHAT WE DO, AND RELY ON THE RESULTING DATA AND OUTCOMES FOR DECISION MAKING. WE DO WHAT WORKS AND DO IT WELL.

3. WE CREATE SPACE FOR LEARNING. WE ALWAYS STRIVE FOR OUR BEST AND EXPECT THE BEST FROM THOSE WITH WHOM WE WORK. ALONG THE WAY, WE HONOR MISTAKES AND IMPERFECTION AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH.

4. WE ENCOURAGE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP. WE NURTURE COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP OF OUR MISSION AND WE WORK TO FOSTER CONFIDENCE IN EVERYONE WE TOUCH. WE WANT TO SHARE THE TOOLS FOR SUCCESS.

5. WE OPERATE WITH PROFESSIONALISM. WE DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENCE, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESOURCEFULNESS, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPETENCE.

6. WE CULTIVATE INCLUSIVENESS IN ALL WE DO. WE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN, AND TO WELCOME AND VALUE THE RICHNESS OF DIVERSE COMMUNITY. WE COMMIT TO WORKING THROUGH THE TENSIONS THAT ARISE IN THE MIDST OF GENUINE COMMUNITY.

THE GROW CODE

OUR MISSION IS TO GUIDE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES ON THE PATH TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE. THIS MISSION LIES AT THE HEART OF ALL WE DO.
