Program Description (3 pages OR LESS) Please provide the following information about the proposed program: d) Summarize the program services proposed and how the program will address a Town /County priority /goal? Diaper Bank of North Carolina is committed to not only providing diapers to families in need, but also to producing broader outcomes for families and children. Within Orange County, Town of Carrboro, and Town of Chapel Hill, Diaper Bank of North Carolina partners with organizations that offer services focused on children health and wellbeing. Through these organizations, diapers are provided directly to families and also serve as a gateway to other services such as home visits, health screenings, and job training. We aim to distribute 85,000 diapers over the course of 1 year, serving roughly 1,500 --- 1,700 children in Orange County, Town of Carrboro, and Town of Chapel Hill. We will be developing specific outcomes with each community partner agency but our overarching goal is to help agencies improve their connection to families with young children. For example, an outcome of our work may be helping a partner agency to experience a 25% increase in program retention or completion rates, or a 25% decrease in missed appointments. While our focus will be outcome -based programs, we will also continue our already established output programs which are vital for families who are not enrolled with one of our partner agencies. e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill PROGRAM INFORMATION 2/12/2018 7:53:03 PM P a g e 1 6 o f 2 8
