PIECE
• During the 2014, 8 week, Summer Lunch Program we
delivered 447 books with enrichment activities to preschool
children and paid for 312 lunches so parents could eat with
their preschooler.
• Books arrived in the mailboxes of over 1,200 Saline County
preschoolers from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library
Project.
• Kindergarten Readiness materials were given to 10
Kindergarten Round-up events for 500 new kindergarteners.
• Vacation Bible Schools received 282 Kindergarten
Readiness packets with books and enrichment materials.
Education
• Simmons First Bank employees assemble
Kindergarten readiness packets for PIECE.
• The Salina Family YMCA, Salina Child Care
Association, and MLKJ Child Development
Center all have several of the same goals
regarding early education. Their focus on
school readiness skills enables children at
their programs to enter Kindergarten on
track developmentally, and ready to
succeed.
Income
• A Circle Leader and her family wait to hear from CAPS
on the topic of bullying prevention in youth.
• Circles of the Heartland helps members of the Salina
area community and in turn they help Circles. Staff from
organizations such as Ashby House, Department of
Children & Families, USD 305, Churches, The
Volunteer Connection, PIECE, Salina Area Technical
College, the City Commission, and many more
volunteer their time and services to the staff and
participants of the Circles program. Partnerships with
others help Circles to expand, establish committees,
provide services for participants, learn, and share their
mission.
Health
•
Salina Family Healthcare Center collaborated with K-State
Research & Extension, Salina Area United Way, and many
other community agencies to ensure everyone in their
service area had an opportunity to sign up for health
insurance during the open enrollment period early in 2014.
•
SFHC partners with many organizations throughout the
Salina area community to ensure patients receive the best
possible care. Working with Central Kansas Foundation
has made it possible for a Substance Abuse Counselor to
be at the clinic full-time. Partnering with Child Advocacy
and Parenting Services provides free daycare services for
children of OB patients enrolled in monthly prenatal
classes. Collaborating with the Saline County Health
Department allows a Nurse Educator to conduct prenatal
classes for patients.

“Thanks so much to the Salina community for
all the work being done on a daily basis that
impacts the United Way Campaign so
positively. From the large number of
community members who participated in the
50,000 meals packaged, to the increased
giving in some large business campaigns,
and to the continued individual giving that is
currently going on. I could not be more
excited and proud of our community.”
