HELPING PEOPLE HELP THEMSELVES winter 2012 152 Joyce Seely touches the lives of O n December 5, Joyce Seely delivered 152 gift-filled shoeboxes to ACCESS to be delivered to our seniors and disabled clients during the holidays. She is busy all through the year assembling those boxes. A few of her friends and her sister help purchase items, put the boxes together and wrap them. She always includes items that she makes herself, such as lavender sachets, coffee mugs, gloves, puzzle books, pens and pencils, small stuffed animals, photo albums and frames, candy, and seniors & disabled other items. This year, her donation was in memory of her mother who recently passed away. always enjoyed the company of seniors and too often finds that they have become the forgotten. “I feel they should be honored for all they have gone through and survived. This is my way of letting them know someone is thinking of them.” Joyce’s original volunteer history was with animal organizations. She has volunteered at Jackson County Animal Care and Control and she and a friend even started Spay and Neuter Your Pet and Animals in Distress. “The last few years I shifted my focus to ACCESS after discovering how important they were to those caring for someone who is ill and realizing you can borrow medical equipment from them.” ACCESS wants to thank you Joyce! It’s people like you who make our efforts possible. “This is my way of letting them know someone is thinking of them.” “I actually started doing this a couple of years ago as my mother’s health was failing and I was taking care of her,” she says. “I often felt helpless to stop what was happening to her, but she loved the idea of the senior shoeboxes in this issue: and we shared • Brighten someone’s life with a shoebox • Special program to help feed seniors evey month. the idea • Message from our Executive Director. that we • Mark your calendar ACCESS • Letters to ACCESS SeniorFair coming up! could help • ACCESS senior “Gatekeepers” — who others.” • Dream$avers makes a Print Shop are they? buisness come true.

Greg Walden Senator Ron Wyden Real people. Real stories. Real help. As government leaders at all levels struggle to balance revenues with necessary services, our community is having many-layered conversations about human services. I recently heard a comment that “the safety net is not a hammock.” There is a common stereotype that people receiving certain forms of government help are lying about drinking beer and waiting for the unemployment or welfare check to come in the mail. But, the reality is often much different. As I wrote here recently, poverty has a job in Jackson County. Nearly three-fourths of the ACCESS clients last year work full or part time. This has taken on more meaning for me as I have gone about my daily life here in the Rogue Valley. I often wear my ACCESS jacket and these are some of the stories I have heard. The gentleman who came to repair my refrigerator shared with me that he was unemployed for months. Friends suggested that he come to ACCESS for help. He had never sought assistance before, but told me he was grateful that we were able to help him get by during a couple of tough months. Now that he is back at work, he intends to give back. The woman who served my breakfast at a local restaurant told me that when her husband left her with two young children, ACCESS helped her get into an apartment that she could afford. The man who waited on me at the paint store this weekend said that his hours had been cut back and he had an appointment the following week at ACCESS, hoping to get help with his utility bill. The grocery store, the dry cleaners, the gas station, the Wal-Mart are places where I hear these kinds of stories. It helps me remember that behind our statistics are men and women working hard to make ends meet. At ACCESS we are privileged to give them a hand. —Jackie Schad Letters Hello, ACCESS: The enclosed donation is a small way of saying thank you for the transfer bench which we borrowed from you and have now returned. The use of it was greatly appreciated. Thank you, — Cleve Dear Members of the Board, Please accept the enclosed small check in appreciation of the wonderful work you are doing to provide medical equipment for seniors and disabled people in the Rogue Valley. My dad was able to visit me recently, after my mom’s recent death, and we hope he’ll eventually move to be near me or my sister. We couldn’t have had such a successful, safe visit without the medical supplies you loaned us for the week he was here. Please use the enclosed check to buy parts for repairing the medical equipment so that more people may benefit, and more equipment can be recycled. Sincerely, —Jacqueline Ashland, OR —more letters on page 7 Housing Senior Outreach Service “Without the program, I would not be sitting here today.” ACCESS “Gatekeepers” watching out for seniors A CCESS Senior Outreach Service offers a Gatekeeper Program that is part of its community effort to identify seniors in need. The goal of this program is to have community members keep their eyes and ears alert for seniors at risk, particularly those who are isolated, living alone and potentially in need of some type of assistance to maintain their independence. The most common indicators that a senior may be in need are listed below. Gatekeepers could directly observe any one factor or combination of the following: • Unkempt appearance • Strong odors on person and/ or in home • Depression, confusion, forgetfulness • Substance abuse • Caregiver stress • Financial and social problems • Physical losses • Yard and/or pets neglected • Home needs repair • Newspapers and/or mail left untouched These individuals do not self-refer. Early identification of at-risk elders can prevent premature institutionalization, abuse and neglect. Whenever possible, Gatekeepers are asked to provide the following information when they call ACCESS: • Elder’s name and phone number • Age, if known • Address or directions to Elder’s residence or whereabouts • A brief description of concerns • Gatekeeper’s name, telephone number and address The role of the gatekeeper ends here. They have provided an important first step: identifying the vulnerable adult and calling ACCESS. At this point, the Senior Outreach lead, Barbara, follows through by contacting Senior and Disability Services or doing a home visit to assess the situation and then follows through with appropriate referrals to address the need or concern. We all have an obligation to help those most in need. Forcing assistance is not our goal, but the elderly deserve to be informed of alternatives and options that will preserve their independence and enhance their quality of life. Serving as a Gatekeeper is an excellent way to establish good public relations. In addition, taking part in a cooperative effort to maintain the dignity and independence of at-risk elders can be a personally rewarding and satisfying experience. For more information about the Gatekeeper Program, please contact Barbara at 541-774-4324. “Y ears ago, this house was a sort of oasis in the middle of orchards and farm fields,” said Katy. “It certainly wasn’t a Medford, suburban neighborhood like it is now.” Katy has lived in her house since she was five years old and she now owns it. “This house is my sanctuary,” she says contentedly. Last year, Katy almost lost her home. After losing a roommate who paid rent, her income was just enough to pay her mortgage with nothing left over to pay bills, heat her home or even buy food. “I knew that I needed to bring down my payment in order to be able to live by myself,” she said. Katy heard about ACCESS on television. She came in, and after some counseling and paperwork, she qualified for a loan modification. A few problems came up during the process, but Katy says ACCESS employees Gary and Lorena helped out tremendously. “When I got that letter that told me my mortgage had been lowered, I could not have been happier,” smiled Katy. “Then I knew I could take care of myself. I was in such danger of losing my house. And without the program, I would not be sitting here today.” Katy said she tells anyone who needs help about ACCESS. I call ACCESS the “angel organization,” she says smiling. “They helped me get back on my feet and keep the most important thing I own. I can’t thank them enough.” Katy in front of her house, which she has lived in since age 5 3 Holiday Season Brings Out the Best in Donors FOOD FOR HOPE The Food for Hope Grocery Bag collection effort by ACCESS, Sherm’s Thunderbird, and The Mail Tribune brought in just over $29,103 and 28,285 pounds of food. GREYSTONE COURT HOLIDAY LIGHT FOOD DRIVE WAS A BIG SUCCESS! The community donated over 10,000 pounds of food from Dec 20-24. Cash donations were just over $103,165 with much thanks to the Kimmel Family Foundation and especially Schnitzer Steel. JOE RAYBURN’S FARMER’S INSURANCE AGENCY 2nd ANNUAL CHILI FEED Provided chili and drinks for anyone who brought in at least 2 cans of food. Donated 604 pounds of food and $50 cash. OLSRUD FAMILY DONATED TRUCKLOAD OF FOOD The Olsrud family, including Sherm and Wanda, and Steve and Linda Olsrud, donated 20,000 pounds of food in a large semi-truck to the ACCESS warehouse. 6TH ANNUAL TURKEY TROT BY THE SOUTHERN OREGON RUNNERS On Thanksgiving Day, over 1,000 people participated and donated 761 pounds of food. The Southern Oregon Runners presented ACCESS with a check for just over $12,000. Jamie Wilson of Schnitzer Steel Industries presents food drive organizer Doug Rush a check during the Greystone Court Food Drive CONIFER GARDENS CHRISTMAS LIGHT TOUR 2012 25 residents of Conifer Gardens went on a holiday light tour throughout Medford, Phoenix and Jacksonville. The tour was deemed a delightful success. Help in the garden; help feed the hungry R eady to express your “inner gardener?” You’ll have ample opportunity this year at one of our six production gardens. Jacksonville residents now can look to our new ACCESS Food Share Garden hosted by Oregon State University Research & Extension Center. The garden site was previously managed by Rotary First Rogue Valley Adventist Academy 8th grade students helping out the community at the Rogue River Food Share Garden. 4 Harvest of Southern Oregon. Their contributions over the last five years filled ACCESS food pantries with many tons—over 76,300 pounds— of fresh onions, green beans, tomatoes and more. Beginning this year, the garden will be managed by ACCESS Food Share. Extra hands will be needed this March to plant onion starts at the OSU Extension Service site and Medford garden. You also may sign on to be part of a regular corps of helpers at any one of our gardens this season. No gardening experience or green thumb required. We’ll teach you. Many folks find being in the garden is a healthy way to de-stress and get in some exercise. In appreciation, helpers are encouraged to take home vegetables for their own consumption, because all of us can benefit from eating more veggies— especially those that are organically grown. Our garden locations are listed below. To help out or get more information, contact: Nan King, Food Share Garden Developer, 541-779-6691 ext. 309, [email protected] Central Point 456 W Pine Street at First Presbyterian Church Gold Hill 100 Lampman Road at Lampman Road Baptist Church OSU Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center 569 Hanley Road Medford 1440 S. Oakdale at Rogue Valley Christian Church Rogue River 935 W Evans Creek VA-SORCC 8495 Crater Lake Hwy Rogue Print Shop owner Chris Local Marriott Hotel managers during a food repack Marriott Displays the Giving “Spirit” O n a recent Friday in early November, seven managers from the local Marriott hotels came together to volunteer at ACCESS. In two hours, this group repacked 3,200 pounds of food from food drives and boxed and sorted 4,900 pounds of squash (donated from Seven Oaks Farms) and 1,000 pounds of cabbage. They were participating in Marriott’s annual “Spirit to Serve Day,” in which Marriott associates from across the world take a day to give back to their respective local communities. The four local hotels choose to exhibit a spirit of giving throughout the year by donating their time and resources to Rogue Valley charities, including ACCESS. Over the last two years, they have donated over 2,000 pounds of food, 229 pounds of soap, and $225 to ACCESS. Many of these donations come from the generosity of the hotel’s staff. These volunteers were helping out with what is called a “food repack.” They assist with the most basic part of our mission — getting food to the people who need it most. Many donations need sorting, repacking, labeling or other types of processing before they are ready to be sent to hunger-relief agencies. That’s where this Marriott group came in! Thank you Marriott! Another ACCESS Dream$avers Program Success Story: Rogue Print Shop A fter a few minutes with Rogue Print Shop owner Chris, you feel like the world isn’t such a bad place. Sure, you’ll see lots of machinery and paper stacked around, rolls of plastic hanging on the walls, and scraps strewn on the floor. But you’ll also see Chris’s great smile and hear his enthusiasm for what he does. He’s very smart, too. He has worked in the printing industry for quite a few years and opened Rogue Print Shop last March. Now he has a thriving business on his hands, and it suits him just fine. Chris is one of ACCESS’s first business goal graduates in the Dream$avers Program. He found out about the program through the Southern Oregon University Small Business Development Center. Dream$avers is an Individual Development Account Program. The accounts are matched savings accounts that enable lower income families to save money, build assets, and improve their lives. When you make deposits in your account, three times the amount you deposit is set aside for you in a separate account. This money can be used for a down payment or other costs of a first time home purchase, or to pay for costs of higher education or skill training. With an Education IDA or Homeownership IDA, you can save up to $2,000 and receive $6,000 in matched money for a total of $8,000. With the funding Chris secured, he was able to buy quite a few necessary pieces of equipment that the shop required. “It definitely helped my business,” he says. He also received assistance in coming up with a realistic business plan. Chris worked with Elisha, who works at ACCESS in the Southern Oregon Housing Resource Center. “She was very knowledgeable and helpful,” Chris says. Rogue Print Shop is doing so well, that Chris is moving the business from his current 600-squarefoot building to a 3,000-squarefoot facility on South Central in Medford. 5 Special Program Helps Feed Seniors Did you know ACCESS feeds seniors every month? Each month, Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) boxes filled with canned fruits, canned vegetables, cereal, milk, pastas, beans and juice are distributed to local seniors in need. It’s everything a senior needs to supplement foods that are already in their home. Lola Smart and Shane Voris packing food boxes for seniors. The boxes help more than 345 seniors in the Rogue of us have just doesn’t leave us Valley in a big way each month. enough by the end of the month. One client says, “The income many People don’t have the kind of money they thought they were going to have to pull them through their senior years. It’s a real help. I don’t know what we would do without it.” You must be over 60 years old with an income of $1,180 or less, per person each month. The food isn’t taken to your home, but instead dropped off at various locations within the Rogue Valley. For more information, or to get on the waiting list, please call ACCESS at 541-779-6691.

June 25 (Monday) ACCESS Golf Tournament n Monday, June 25th, the 9th Annual ACCESS Golf Tournament takes place at the beautiful Rogue Valley Country Club. For those of you who are unfamiliar with our tournament, it is a four-person scramble with a double shotgun start—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This event is not only exciting and a lot of fun, but it also supports ACCESS by raising money to provide services to low-income seniors, families, and persons with disabilities right here in our own Rogue Valley. Get your clubs ready and mark your calendars for June 25, 2012! The Quilting Challenge: Donate quilt batting to help keep people warm We featured a story on Stan Stromberg in our Winter 2010 newsletter. He is the man in his 80’s who continues to create and donate his handmade quilts to ACCESS to help keep our local residents warm. We’d like to keep those beautiful quilts coming, but Stan needs quilt batting to continue sewing them. If you would like to donate batting for Stan, please bring it to the ACCESS front desk, and we will make sure he gets it. Stan—and our chilly clients—would sure appreciate it. Stan Stromberg with one of the countless quilts he has made and donated to ACCESS Website helps determine eligibility for help Letters Dear Access, It’s a wonderful thing that you do in giving out medical equipment to those in need. My friend who has ALS has been blessed each time that he has gone to see that mighty fine gentleman who is always funny and generous to loan out what ever my friend may need. OregonHelps.org is a free and easy program pre-screener. It is basically an online tool for determining social service eligibility. Answer questions about people in your house, income and expenses, and the site will estimate your potential eligibility for 33 different programs such as Medicare, TANF, WIC, Oregon Health Plan and more. All the answers are anonymous and can never be linked to you. The typical session lasts 5 to 15 minutes. Oregon Helps also has a Facebook page.

That’s right—45 chickens of multiple varieties. forty-one are hens and four are roosters. “I have more eggs than I know what to do with. I don’t know what I was thinking!” she laughs. She says a friend told her she should really keep some chickens. So she went down to the local feed store and bought 20 chicks. The rest is history. Lewella loves her chickens. “But,” she laments, “they really are a lot of work.” Dutch Bros. Raises Over howling at night.” She also said that hawks are always on the prowl during the day.

The women actually put in approximately 3,000 hours of sewing time every six months. This past December, they were at ACCESS in the Olsrud Nutrition Center filling up 98 beautiful handmade bags to the brim with all kinds of supplies. The ladies donated all the bags to ACCESS which delivers them to our senior and disabled clients. They also gave 27 quilts, 15 armchair caddies, 15 bed organizers, and 13 neck rolls. The ladies have also offered to make ACCESS not one, but two new Santa Claus suits for next year’s Greystone Christmas event. “These ladies are amazing,” said Barbara Bieg, senior and disabled outreach lead for ACCESS Support Services. “They have been donating items to us for more than a decade. It’s one of the sweetest things they do.” id you know that sixty percent of Americans die without a valid will— leaving their family and friends to deal with the frustrating probate process? Without a Will (or Trust), state laws will determine the distribution of your estate according to “their” formula—not your wishes. Don’t let that happen to you or your family. Estate Planning or having a Will is not just for seniors or wealthy people—it’s an important process we all need to do to protect those we care about and for specifying your charitable interests. A Will confirms your desires on how you want your estate distributed and who will represent your wishes. It should also include a Power of Attorney and Health care Directives to protect you under special circumstances. Writing a Will can be a simple process, depending on your assets and distributions. It is best to get the advice of a professional when making your estate plans. Here are some GOOD reasons for having a Will: • Having someone know and represent your wishes • Securing the financial future of your spouse or significant other • Providing support for family, friends or those with special needs—especially minors • Providing continuing financial support to your favorite charities • Making your intentions clear—avoiding lawsuits, misrepresentation and confusion • Preserving your privacy Reasons to update your Will/ Trust: • Marriage/divorce/deaths • Health issues for you or your loved ones • Change in beneficiaries of retirement plans (i.e. change jobs) • Business partnerships (new or change) • Keeping up with changes in state/federal laws I would like more information on leaving ACCESS in my Will/Estate Plans I have already designated ACCESS in my Estate Plans Name(s) Please print Address Phone No. Email 8 Please return in the envelope provided, or call (541) 690-3974 for more information.
