Program accomplishments
- U-Turn 180 Youth Program - family meals, homework help, recreation, and creative arts workshops, camps during the summer, and facilitated discussion groups for high school students. This program provided a safe and supportive environment for 268 unduplicated youth in grades K-12 during 25. This included 36 after-school sessions offering homework help and social/emotional skill-building, 40 K-5th graders, Sept-May. Evenings were also extended to offer music/children's choir activities. We also offered 30 "Chatterbox" facilitated discussions and academic support for high school students. --Reading program - as part of the youth program, we provide elementary students with before/after-school and 6-week summer reading support. 100% of students who attended 2025 Summer Reading Academy experienced an increase in literacy skills (and the rest maintained skills). This program is primarily supported by multi-year funding from Saint Paul Children's Collaborative. --Back to School event - provides free backpacks with school supplies and connects families to community partners. In 2025, Family Values for Life distributed 3,500 backpacks filled with supplies (in-kind value of $262,500). We also offered 1,500 hot meals, 15,015 pounds of produce, and 1,580 pounds of donated new clothes (socks, t-shirts, pants, pj's) at the event. In-kind value of clothing donations was $98,190.10. We served approximately 1050 families who had access to many community partners and other resources, including bike helmets from the St. Paul Police Bike Truck, Water Truck from SPRWS, bounce house and inflatable water slide, Double Dutch crew from 825 Arts, and more. More than 115 volunteers offering 450 volunteer hours helped make this event possible.Expenses $98,018

In partnership with Ramsey County, we provided Family-Centered Coaching/case management to 42 families during 2025. The family coach made 408 referrals to additional families for other community resources.

- Community outreach events and goals- help build community and counter the social isolation felt by so many in poverty. In 2025, personal development and support events included Women's Conference (~150 attendees +staff, volunteers and vendors, speakers, and children etc) and I Heart Mom Mother's Day event (~90 attendees). We also offered three family-focused events, including: Family Roller Skating, Trunk or Treat Halloween event (250 attendees), Christmas event (family meal + gifts to 100 children). To support family success, we have adopted specific basic needs program targets for the year: --4,000-5,000 families (20,000 individuals) will visit the food shelf and receive immediate basic needs support plus information about ongoing Family Values for Life programs that support financial stability. --2 million pounds of food will be distributed through our food assistance programs --200 families will access crisis financial assistance to improve short-term financial stability. --1,050 families visit school-based resource centers As part of our ongoing work to build family stability, we also anticipate the following results: --200 families will access crisis financial assistance to improve financial stability. --60 heads-of-household (mostly women) will participate in Jump Start to the New You workshops; 95% of regular attendees will have increased financial literacy and 60% will take at least one self-identified action step to improve family financial stability. --40 families will identify goals for family stability and will receive support in progressing toward those goals through the Family-Centered Coaching process. We anticipate that each family will achieve at least one of their goals.0
