The Exchange Clubs of Salem / Keizer have began a campaign to bring to Salem & Oregon a new concept called The Forever Families Program.  Our goal within the next five years is to raise the approximately $8,000,000 it will require to operate four Forever Family Centers in Oregon.  The four centers will be placed strategically throughout Oregon to maximize their value.

The funds raised will be placed into a trust fund managed by our ESCAPE board, which will place them into ultra safe investments that will provide the $100,000 revenue that is required to operate each center.   The Exchange Clubs other fundraising activities will provide any additional or unforeseen inflation increases.  This plan ensures that the Forever Family Centers will have adequate funding indefinitely.

The Forever Family Centers will follow the National Exchange Clubs guidelines for a Child Abuse Prevention Center, (Cap Center) which provide for the proper training of Volunteers and a proven track record of success in Child Abuse Prevention.

Today Marks an Historic Step Toward Giving To Oregon!
The Forever Family Center and Program are here!

The Forever Family Center however, expands the program to offer services to families with children who have special needs, including respite care.  The program includes a focus on reducing the load on the foster family programs.  With a goal on reducing the number of children in foster care by at least 33%.  Please visit our Child Abuse Prevention page for more statistics and details.

Our society claims that it cares for the family so lets step up and prove it!
