Family & Youth Services Wesley’s programs serve a daily average of over 20 youth, ages 5 -15, who participate in one or more of the following activities: meals, homework assistance, games, weekly field trips, swimming at city pools, and enrichment activities provided by partner agencies. Two of our most important activities every year are the Back to School program, which provides over 100 of the children in our community with donated backpacks and school supplies, and the Christmas Adopt a Family program, in which volunteers from around the Valley donate Christmas presents for over 100 of the needy families served by Wesley. In 2010, the Christmas Adopt a Family program served 108 families, representing 371 senior women and children. Signups for the Adopt a Family Christmas program begin in September. Wesley continues to provide ongoing services to residents and clients in the form of an Exercise Class, Sewing Class, Senior Women’s Group, Senior Companion Program, and Emergency Food bags. Over 1,000 people benefit annually from these programs. |
