DocuSign Envelope ID: 2AC82140 -8F6C- 4125 - 8743- OB8594E61466 EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION attending their schools were enrolled in the National School Lunch Program suggesting that nearly 1 in 3 local children are 1) at risk for hunger on weekends and other times of the year when schools meals are not available and 2) have limited access to fresh food because of expense and access issues. The breakdown of this statistic is as follows: • 32% of preschool and elementary school children • 25% of middle school students That's more than 2,500 kids that are likely going hungry on weekends and school holidays when they do not have access to their free school breakfasts and lunches. The Town and County priorities all have some focus on provision of healthy food for low- income residents and /or providing a home for residents to feel mutually respected. All priorities also seek infrastructure improvements for the town /county to be successful, reduce crime, improve economic growth, etc. Children not having enough food is directly related to the success of our towns and county. Our kids are not simply at risk for being hungry on weekends, but also low academic performance, inappropriate behavior, low self- esteem, and health problems. Kids cannot grow up to be successful, thriving adults under these conditions. They MUST have their basic needs fulfilled before they even stand a chance of performing well in school, behaving appropriately, having strong relationships, and strong, healthy bodies. The growth, prosperity, and success of our towns and county depend fully on the growth of our children into productive adults. Who is your target population of individuals to benefit from this program and how will they be identified and connected with the program? TABLE provides healthy food every week to preschool, elementary, and middle school children living in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. All children participating in our hunger relief programs live in local low- income communities. About 97% of the children we serve represent racial and ethnic minority populations. To reach local food - insecure children, TABLE partners with 35+ community organizations to provide healthy food to those kids through the WMBP. TABLE identifies the beneficiaries of our program by partnering with staff and faculty at our numerous partner locations. School social workers and after school staff help us identify children and families that are in need as well as distribute and gather permission forms. At public housing facilities, our staff and volunteers walk door -to -door to offer our services. At all of our locations, parents simply need to fill out a permission form for their child to receive healthy food every single week.
