BUILDING HEALTHY FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES Holly Towers, LCSW Executive Director New Growth for Lilyfield This season has been very busy for Lilyfield as an organization! Lilyfield is growing, and with the growth, we are expanding our capacity to serve more and more children and families in need in Oklahoma. One of the most exciting parts of our growth includes a grant Lilyfield received with Americorps. With the grant, we have sent 14 AmeriCorps members to serve at-risk children and their families, primarily in South OKC. We will add more AmeriCorps members throughout the year, bringing that total to 41! We have also added 9 new Empower staff positions to support at-risk children and families as the result of a new contract with OKDHS. One of these is Donna Walker, our new EmpowerTulsa Coordinator. We are thrilled to bring our community of hope model to Tulsa as well as South OKC! So far this year we have served 1,089 clients across all of our programs, far exceeding the number of clients we have ever served in a single year at Lilyfield. This substantial growth is only possible because of your generous help and support. Both the AmeriCorps grant and the new DHS contract are only possible with private matching donations. Would you consider joining us as a monthly donor to support these ongoing programs? A donation of $25 per month provides services to children and families impacted by or at-risk for foster care . Thank you for your continued prayers as we serve and care for the most vulnerable Oklahomans. AmeriCorps members from the University of Oklahoma FALL 2019
