Many <br /> families who participate in our food distribution program come not only for themselves, but <br /> also to collect vegetables for neighbors and friends. Diversity of diets is an issue for the <br /> community, as having a low budget makes it much more difficult to access healthy foods, <br /> including fruits and vegetables. <br /> Stated Program Activities Anticipated Results Evaluation <br /> Program Method <br /> Goals <br /> Increase access Saturday food We expect 25% more Farmer Foodshare <br /> to healthy local distribution and the people will receive collected data on <br /> produce from number of community healthy local produce in the amount and <br /> an initial 20 gatherings. the new year. client satisfaction <br /> families to 25 with distribution <br /> methods. <br /> Increase Bi-weekly potluck Establish bi-weekly Collect attendance <br /> solidarity among gatherings of families gatherings of at least 15 data.- <br /> program families from various <br /> participants. ethnic groups, to share <br /> food. <br /> English as a Second Language Classes: The mission of the English as a Second Language classes <br /> is to help ease the transition of immigrants to the United States through interactions with <br /> volunteers and through an enhanced level of community awareness. Furthermore, we observe <br /> that a new generation of bilingual children is being raised within our immigrant communities. <br /> Bilingual children often must act as translators for their families. We want to empower adults <br /> and older members of the community by equipping them with tools that can sustain their <br /> language development. <br /> Through conversations with volunteers, community members gain a proficiency in the language <br /> that enables them to seek additional employment opportunities, communicate with fellow <br /> citizens freely, and take a more active part in the education of their children. The majority of <br /> students in the ESL classes have limited English proficiency. Our program includes people from <br /> all over the world, including a growing number of Burmese refugees who live in Chapel Hill and <br /> Carrboro. <br />
