) c Run For Improvement Page 8 April 12,1985 planned for May 18 A desire to help low income people help themselves drew Í3 tri-courity social service agen cies together recently in M ad ras, to plan a . R un F or Im provem ent scheduled for S atur day, M ay 18. “This is the first time I’ve seen a tri-county gathering at the grassroots level. This kind of meeting bridges a lot of gaps,” noted R on M elver of Friends In Service To H um anity (F.I.S.H .) in Redm ond. The idea for the run was sparked by. a group of M adras residents concerned over , the R ajneesh street people brought to and bussed out of M adras last sum m er. “We began to ask: W hy are we just moving these people around, and when are we going to start dealing with the real issues,” recalled Jim Coppedge, pastor of the M ad ras U nited M ethodist Church. Coppedge had an idea for a possible way to begin tackling the problem . “W hen our Son was in high school he did a ‘W alk fo r Im p ro v e m e n t.’ I tho u g h t th a t was really creative and I knew we had a lot of runners here, related Coppedge. The group form ed the non profit association of A W TEP (A lternative Ways to Elim inate Poverty), and proceeded to orga nize the relay run. They address the massive need that already exists, they chose to assist social- services agencies which were already serving low income fam ilies but are also in need of addi tional funds. Because of the distance in volved (approximately 100 miles) there will be two starting points, one in W arm Springs, and the o th er at Sun River and wiM converge at the Deschutes C oun ty F a ir g r o u n d s in R edm ond. There will be á celebration at the fairgrounds. A W TEP hopes the run will generate $200,000 from donations by individuals, civic groups, businesses and churches sponsoring the r un. The money will be presented the day of the run to 13 tri county agencies which are also participating in and helping or ganize the event. Bend area agen cies include the Bend Rescue M ission which is in need of roof repair and expanded bathroom facilities; C entral O regon Bat te r in g a n d R a p e A llia n c e (C.O .B .R .A ) and Low Income Families Together (L. I. F.T) both which need perm anent build ings; and Bend Aid which d is - , tributes food com m odities but needs extras such as perishable foods and money to help low income people buy prescription medications. “ In Janu ary we helped 241 people, but the riioriey runs out so fast it’s unbelievea- ble,” Commented N aom i Jack- son fiom Bend Aid. In Sisters, the Food Bank is in good shape, but money is needed to help people purchase tem porary lodging and gasoline, F.I.S.H in Redm ond would pos sibly be able to get m atching funds with R un proceeds, and would like to develop a Compu terized resource bank to coor dinate the various resources and referral services in the Redmond area. Serving the Prinville area are Lutheran Family Services, a coun seling and educational service, requesting aid with emergency hospitalizations and medications f o t clients; arid N azaren Child Care director W arren Powell. In M adras, a new mission, the Blanche Fraley Lighthouse fpr W om en, due to open in late April, is in need of everything from bunk beds to playpens to renovate a large house for wo men and children. Likewise, the H arvest Field M ission, which also houses the Jefferson County Food Bank, is m oving into a new, larger building and needs to refurbish the room s, b ath room s and fire escape. M oney to subsidize day care for low income families is a request o f the M adras. Child Care Center which served 400 families in 1984—60 of which w ere low in c o m e. D ire c to r S haron Bell feels, “the low in come children are often disad vantaged over their other class mates due to health and nutri- tional problem s. We offer a com prehensive child develop ment program with p ro p er nu trition.” The T ribal Assistance and G roup Home of W arm Springs, which aided 380 people last year, has funds to 1 assist tribal; members, but would like funds to help those who are not eft-i rolled in the tribe b u t live on the reservation. Spokesm an Robert M iller explained funds would be used to ,help “elderly who need Life Line support, help with utility bills or emergency medical travel. ” The agency also provides special counseling and assistance to children and youth aged 12-18. “W e’re approaching this as an an n u al ev en t,” explained Coppedge, noting th at agencies, must show full accountability for funds received, which Will also help assess needs for the following year’s run. Vickie Allen, a C.O.B.RiA. counselor, summ ed up the feel ings of the 13 service agencies busily organizing the event along with A W TEP. Citing th at the difference of having a,collective, run over raising funds individ^ ually was, beggings “we’re rais ing 100 percent of the funds. I d o n ’t see the com petition be tween agericies fOr funds, it’s noncompetitive, shared commu nity ru n .” Anyone interested in helping with the run should contact M artha Hill at 475-7366. 509-J Art Fair April 13 1-4:00 p.m. Madras Junior High Show includes exhibits demonstrations, cake walks, concessions and a talent program We have been having winners right along and they have been having their subeription sent to friends.
