Agency Presentations: TreeHouse. Andy Swanda, VP of Advancement, presented the mission of TreeHouse. Started in 1984 by a Robbinsdale teacher, the program has grown to nine locations. The mission is to bring living hope to youth and families leading to life transformation through three programs: support groups, going deeper and mentoring one-to-one. Funds would be used for transportation and programming for Golden Valley residents. Crisis Nursery. Joel Bergstrom, Development and Communications Director, presented the mission of Crisis Nursery. The mission of the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery is to end child abuse and neglect and create strong, healthy families. Twenty seven children from twenty families in Golden valley accesses the Crisis Nursery services in 2015. Funds would be used to support programming including the 24-hour crisis line, overnight shelter and the home visiting program. PRISM. Eleanor Trenary, Volunteer and Thrift Shop Manager, presented the mission of PRISM. Started as a grassroots effort in 1972 to walk alongside families, offering support -based programs that encourage self-sufficiency, PRISM was incorporated as a 501c 3 in 1973. PRISM's programs and services offer dignity with accountability as the families, volunteers, and staff work together toward solutions. PRISM collaborates with area helping agencies to avoid duplication of services and our programs serve specific geographic areas. The increase in requested funding is due to the increased number of people asking for services. Over 900 Golden Valley residents have accessed PRISM services on an average of three times over the year. Funds would be used to support the program expenses, including Golden valley residents.
