Extractions: Rationale Case management and coordination of family services are vital in providing comprehensive services to pregnant and parenting teens and their children. The benefits of school-based case management include the provision of a single point of contact for the student in the coordination of services (child day care, preventive health care, prenatal care, attendance monitoring, etc.). The case manager should be a liaison between home and school and help students develop skills to access community services, as well as build confidence and capacity to be self-sufficient. Case management services may be provided by school personnel or through a community program. An effective case management approach coordinates the various social service agencies serving teen parents and their families, helping to reduce duplication of services and increasing the likelihood of adherence to individual service plans.
How We Help At The Food Bank Of Delaware the union of the Food Bank of delaware and its This program provides individuals andfamilies vital foods for 3 so they may use their limited resources on other http://www.fbd.org/howwehelp.htm
Extractions: Making the Connection The Food Bank of Delaware and its 242 member agencies work together to improve people's lives. We alleviate hunger by distributing food to our member agencies and by relentlessly asking what we can do to get to the real or root cause of hunger. What would truly enable people to improve their lives and depend on public assistance and programs less? When people have the opportunity to earn a stable and growing income, the cycle of poverty and the need for emergency and ongoing assistance from agencies like ours and those that provide assistance in healthcare, food, and housing can be broken. The old adage about teaching a person to fish for a lifetime instead of feeding that person for one day has helped us to develop the premises used to develop the curriculum for the training and life skills courses. Community Training Kitchen classes are small (15-20 adults) twelve week training opportunities for under/unemployed adults. Students enrolled in our program continue to acquire and maintain high-quality jobs that lift them out of poverty, and pay them at rates higher than they would receive without our training program. Our graduates' entry wages are averaging $8.50 to $9.50 per hour, which is far above the minimum hourly wage of $6.45. In addition to improving the employability of our students, our community training kitchen also prepares nutritious meals for hungry children through our Summer Feeding Program and our Kid's Cafe initiatives.

Families have growing needs related to issues such as managing personal finances, finding and affording child care, and understanding and constructively dealing with family stressors. Increases in parenting outside of marriage continue to create difficult consequences for women, children, and taxpayers. Thirty-four of every 1,000 teenage girls between ages 15 and 17 gave birth in Maryland in 1995; 85 percent of these young mothers were unmarried. There are indications that the basic needs of some children are not being met. The Centers for Disease Control report that 22 percent of two-year-olds in Maryland were not fully immunized in 1995.
