It's a pity the 'game' wasn't over before Nov. 2.

I would have danced on the 'box' - in my
imagination if nowhere else ... I gave up playing
chess when my brain refused to consider any
longer that it was a 'game' and that I resented
losing ...

Readers' generosity has lifted proven programs since 1979



>From children's pennies to checks for thousands of dollars, the generosity
>of Seattle Times readers has been making a positive difference in the
>community for a quarter-century.



Since its inception in 1979, The Seattle Times Fund for the Needy has raised
$9,628,031, every dollar of which has gone to provide services by charitable
agencies.



The challenges presented by a difficult economy make the need especially
urgent, said Seattle Times Treasurer Will Blethen, director of the fund.



"We are continuing to try to help 12 outstanding agencies with proven
programs that help children, families and the elderly," Blethen said. The
drive begins today and will continue until early February.



Last year, donors gave more than $550,000. Here's how the receiving agencies
put it to use:



The Salvation Army: Helped provide 56,056 nights of lodging to homeless men,
women and children; 97,937 food bags or grocery vouchers to the hungry;
holiday gifts and toys to 29,298 low-income children, families and seniors;
and helped care for 243 women and children fleeing domestic violence.



Senior Services: Served 65,410 meals to seniors living at home.



Childhaven: Provided 20,878 hours of service to 29 drug-affected infants,
helped place 198 children in safe environments and responded to 1,531 Crisis
Line calls.



Hopelink: Helped support 12,515 people through Emergency Services and Family
Development Programs, including food banks and financial, shelter and utility
assistance.



Deaconess Children's Services: Helped 134 parents and 112 children in the
Teen Parent Advocacy Program and 335 parents and children through its
interactive parenting program. Elements of the programs include skills
development, peer support, advocacy and connecting families to vital
resources.



Family Services: Helped 91 homeless toddlers and preschoolers at Morningsong
Homeless Families Support Center. More than 1,000 homeless children, the
majority under age 5, received diapers, clothing and safety equipment (car
seats, high chairs, strollers) at the Baby Boutique. The Men's Domestic
Violence Intervention Program helped 49 men, more than 80 percent of whom
successfully changed their behavior, according to the agency.



Atlantic Street Center: Provided support for 427 children and youth enrolled
in the Youth Development Program, providing learning and leadership
opportunities for youth ages 5 to 18.



Youth Eastside Services: Provided services to more than 31,000 at-risk and
troubled children, young people and their families, including counseling,
mentoring, outreach and prevention services.



Treehouse: Provided support and educational opportunities for children living
in foster care, including sports, music and dance lessons through its Little
Wishes program. Many children received clothes, school supplies, books and
toys from the Treehouse Wearhouse, and five children in King County public
schools received a year of one-on-one professional tutoring.



Asian Counseling & Referral Service: Its Senior Nutrition / Emergency Feeding
Programs provided 45,230 meals to Asian / Pacific Islander elders. Provided
isolated seniors the opportunity for exercise, cultural celebrations and
English-as-a-second-language classes at its 12 sites. Its Children, Youth and
Family Program served 1,168 youth and their parents to promote safe and
healthy development of children with programs for self-esteem, leadership,
cultural identity development, youth / parent conflict resolution,
sexual-assault prevention, dating and healthy relationships, and
domestic-violence prevention / early intervention.



Kindering Center: Provided foster homes for disabled infants and children and
provided respite care (overnight stays up to two weeks in licensed foster
homes) for additional children.



Big Brothers Big Sisters: Supported 22 at-risk youth in one-to-one mentoring
relationships.
