This program <br />addresses Orange County's Goal 1: i=nsure a community network of basic human <br />services and infrastructure that maintains, protects, and promotes the well -being of <br />all county residents. <br />The Meals on Wheels program ensures the people it serves are receiving a <br />nutritious meal, five days a week. The volunteers are able to make a quick <br />assessment of each recipient's physical and cognitive condition; if there appears to <br />be a change in condition, it is reported to the program coordinator who follows <br />through with the recipient's emergency contact or Orange County agencies as <br />appropriate. This network maintains consistent contact with the most fragile <br />members of this community, as well as promoting well - being, by providing at least <br />one nutritious meal a day, five days a week. <br />e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in rotation to the Ch del Hrll <br />Human Services Needs Assessment, Crane County B ©CC Goals and Priorities, Town of <br />Camel bill Council Goals, Carrboro Boars" Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. <br />Council /Board Goals). Reference local data (using the provided links, i.e. Chapel Hill <br />Kumar? Services Needs Assessment) to support the need for this program. <br />According to Change County's Master Aging Plan, the number of adults age 65+ is <br />estimated to increase by 31% between 2012 -2017. By 2030, this population will <br />more than double from its size in 2012, reaching an estimated 31,063 people and <br />making up 17.6% of all Orange County individuals. Orange Congregations In <br />Mission's Meals on Wheels program desires to make sure the most fragile <br />members of the northern Grange County communities receive a home - delivered <br />lunch and accompanying visit by the delivery volunteer.. Extra effort is being made <br />to serve people in the very northern part of Grange County, which is currently out of <br />reasonable driving range for volunteers. By partnering with Orange County and <br />utilizing the Cedar Grove Community Center as a drop -off location for meals, the <br />driving distance and time will be greatly reduced for volunteers. <br />FRnr.'
