DocuSign Envelope ID:AA509FB2-A0C3-456C-9F67-9DDC0879C15B t A - continued Provider's Outside Agency Application MAIN APPLICATION c) Describe the local need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Consolidated Plan or other community priorities (i.e. Council/Board Goals). Cite local data to support the need for this program and the population being served. In a state where life bursts through the cracks in the sidewalks, it is appalling that our state has consistently ranked in the top 10 states for citizens experiencing food shortage. One in four children under the age of 18 faces food insecurity. While highly processed foods are cheaper and typically line the shelves of agencies designed to help the hungry, they are shown to lead to higher rates of obesity and obesity related diseases. Farmer Foodshare attacks this problem by helping agencies provide healthy choices, and when desired Farmer Foodshare offers recipes and food demonstrations to help both agencies and the people they deserve enjoy using fresh produce. d) Describe the population to be served or the area to benefit and indicate how you will identify beneficiaries. Farmer Foodshare partners with agencies that serve populations in need: children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities or who are food insecure. Agencies are selected in conjunction with the Farmers Market in Orange County with a focus on urgent hunger and persistent need. Diverse groups are intentionally chosen. e) Who specifically will carry out the activities and in what location will they be carried out?
