Funding for this program would support initiatives that address childhood obesity, food insecurity, and economic instability in Orange County. These issues adversely affect the refugee and immigrant communities in Orange County, specifically in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. North Carolina resettles some of the highest numbers of refugees each year. Although the population of Chapel Hill /Carrboro makes up less than 1 % of the total population of N.C., over 10% of the total refugee population from Burma lives in this area. The TTC Farm focuses on serving low- income families in the refugee and immigrant community. Services proposed include the continued access to land to grow healthy traditional foods, weekly translated workshops focused on agricultural topics and small farm business development; youth programming focused on nutrition, active living and leadership development; implementation of a "Share a Share" program in collaboration with PORCH, which provides traditional vegetables for 125 refugee families in need on a monthly basis while providing economic support for TTCF farmers; and outreach to support Farm to Pre -K activities, which will link the farm to the broader community and promote healthy growth and development of our young children. e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill Human Services Needs Assessment, Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, Town of Chapel Hill Council Goals, Carrboro Board Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. Council /Board Goals).
