Rescue Funds To Saving Grace, Redmond Sr Ctr

The Deschutes County Commission has approved $700,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to support Saving Grace and the Redmond Senior Center. Funding includes $450,000 for Saving Grace to increase capacity to provide mental health support and case management services to survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. Funding will also increase food access and provide safe emergency shelter for survivors through short term motel stays. "Saving Grace is beyond grateful for the generous ARPA Funds allocated to us by the Deschutes County Commissioners," said Saving Grace Executive Director Cassi MacQueen. "Our organization and survivors in Deschutes County have seen tremendous impacts from COVID-19 including increased intimate partner violence, limited community resources for those fleeing abuse, and decreased federal funding. Not only will these funds ensure that we can continue providing safety to those in greatest need, they allow us to expand on our mission and work to help all survivors in Central Oregon find safety, hope, and healing." Funds allocated by the commissioners also includes $250,000 for the Redmond Senior Center to repair and update their kitchen and add a food storage space so that they can meet the increased demand for food assistance due to the pandemic. "The Redmond Senior Center is overjoyed and humbled by this commitment from Deschutes County," said Redmond Senior Center Executive Director Todd Dickerson. "Using our 30-year-old kitchen, we prep, serve, and deliver nearly 40,000 meals per year to members of the greater Redmond community. Much of the equipment we have does not operate properly and what does work is old and antiquated. The additional funds from the county will fill the gap between what the generous Redmond community provided, and the budget needed to complete this remodel. It will allow us to better serve our current needs, allow us to increase the capacity of those we serve, and be a revenue source for our Center so we can reach and support more older adults in our community." Deschutes County will receive more than $38 million in ARPA funds. To learn more about the County's ARPA investments, visit www.deschutes.org/arpa.

Take A Stand Against Domestic Violence

Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and power of individuals, families, institutions, and systems all choosing to "Take A Stand." Making that choice and sharing your voice adds a valuable and powerful component to transforming our community. That is why this October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), Saving Grace is asking you to "Take A Stand." "Many people care and understand that domestic violence is a serious public health problem. They want to do something but believe their actions won't make a difference," said Cassi MacQueen, Executive Director of Saving Grace. "It feels overwhelming. But change can start by even one person choosing to "Take A Stand". Imagine if all 200,000+ individuals in Deschutes County each committed to taking a stand to stop intimate partner violence. Well, we could really see some serious social transformation." According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. "Right here in Central Oregon, Saving Grace has served over 1000+ survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault in this year alone," added Ashby Rodriguez, Direct Service Project Manager for Saving Grace. "That is why we need everyone - advocates, medical professionals, educators, survivors, researchers, policy makers, law enforcement officers, business owners, students, and more, to "Take a Stand" to stop domestic violence here in Central Oregon. How you can "Take A Stand": • Be a caring and consistent adult in the life of a child • Talk to loved ones about violence and oppression • Create a culture of consent in your home • Use social media to raise awareness among your peers • Reach out to Saving Grace to learn how you can help or visit Saving-Grace.org to learn more about how to support survivors • Listen to and validate a survivor of trauma • Take the "I Will Take a Stand" Pledge to end domestic violence This October join Saving Grace as we remember those whose lives were taken by intimate partner violence, celebrate the tremendous progress survivor advocates have made over the years, and connect with one another with a true sense of unity to end domestic violence. "Take a Stand" unites our individual voices while highlighting the power of our collective action. Saving Grace has been serving Central Oregon since 1977 with offices in Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville and La Pine. 24 Hour Helpline: 541-389-7021 www.saving-grace.org
