We also talk to them <br /> about specific clients for additional services (vision care, Sec 8 housing challenges) <br /> • Farmer Foodshare—we purchase fruit every Tuesday <br /> • Book Harvest NC —we deliver books that are like new to our clients (they serve children, so <br /> we take donations that are suitable for adults) <br /> • HomeStart, Ronald McDonald House, SECU —we donate extra food that we can't <br /> distribute ourselves in a timely fashion. <br /> • Department on Aging —we distribute the Senior Times quarterly and refer clients who <br /> need more services to the Department <br /> • CHCCS —we provide service hour opportunities for high school students. In 2014 we started <br /> a new partnership with the Carrboro High School Exceptional Students program to have <br /> them come in every month and help us pack our snack bags. <br /> • Harris Teeter and Starbucks at University Mall, Trader Joe's, Panera —we "glean" food <br /> that is pulled from the shelves because of sell by date restrictions and deliver it the same <br /> day for our clients benefit <br /> • Orange County Executive Directors Board of the United Way and Food Security Work <br /> group —our Director served for three years as the representative to the UW Board and <br /> works on a subcommittee currently that addresses how to collaborate and make an impact <br /> on the problem of food security in our area. <br /> • The American Red Cross —we are the designated source for their meals in emergency <br /> situations <br /> • UNC School of Government, UNC School of Public Health, UNC School of Nursing, <br /> UNC School of Social Work, Kenan-Flagler MBA program UNC Journalism students— <br /> we have hosted and advised several volunteers and interns from these organizations.

Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a <br /> reduced allocation is recommended. If our request is denied, we would be compelled <br /> to search for funding from other sources. We try to maintain a very diverse income stream <br /> so that we aren't vulnerable should one entity stop supporting us. If we were unable to <br /> cover our expenses we would be forced to prioritize our clients and start a waiting list, <br /> serving those only as funds become available. <br /> i. Include any other pertinent information. In 2015 we started our strategic process of <br /> building infrastructure with two additional part time staff who help run operations and <br /> manage the volunteers. For almost 40 years we managed with 2 part time employees, but <br /> as we have tripled the number of meals served in the last 7 years (from 60 meals to 170) <br /> we knew this was no longer sustainable, nor best practices. We are excited about the <br /> growth and ready to meet the future with very dedicated and enthusiastic staff and <br /> volunteers. <br /> Program/Project Information <br /> j.
