Also,the food pantry is located in the 7hrft,Shop(the oily space <br /> we have available),and clients rrutst carry their food orders out past Thrift Shop customers. <br /> The new hciky will allow us to provide direct intake service to our clients with the <br /> addition of inuke/interview rooms and volunteers. We currently depend on other agencies to <br /> conduct detailed interviews,as we do not have the space required for this task. <br /> OCIM's bimonthly worship services could be held at one,handicapped-accessible location <br /> at the new facility,rather than constantly having to search for new places to hold service. <br /> Wonderful donations dance into our T hih Shop every day from all over the county. <br /> Because of space,donations of large items have to be kept to a mires and our safes suffer. <br /> The Thrift Shop offers the most consistent revenue for OCUW With additional space,furniture <br /> and other large items could generate additional dollars for our Meals on Wheels ministry and <br /> Samaritan Relief Mimsdy. <br /> Our volunteers have also been impacted by the lack of space at our current location. <br /> Dedicated volunteers have to adjust their schedules,as we can only accommodate so many people <br /> on the premises. Committees crust now find meeting places in other buildings and churches across <br /> town, and space for volunteers who have to work in the office is minimal. With a new facility,we <br /> can vastly bxmise our vohunter base. <br /> The effectiveness of this additional space will be measured by the quantity and quality of <br /> our service to clients. An anticipated 50 percent increase m demand for services to families in our <br /> Samaritan Relief Ministries will be reflected in our monthly financial statements. <br /> ANTICIPATED GRANT SUPPORT: <br /> A.
