DocuSign Envelope ID: D3ADCOFO-560B-45AA-A3EA-B65E3A3A06DE XHIBIT A PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION academic performance, inappropriate behavior, low self-esteem, and health problems. Kids cannot grow up to be successful, productive 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 and success of our children. 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 needy children, TABLE partners with 26 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. Describe the credentials of the program manager and other key staff. (Ex. Identify Program Manager and credentials, describe training provided to volunteers, etc.) The Program Director of our WMBP graduated from UNC-CH in 2012 with her B.A. in Sociology. She served as a Volunteer Coordinator for UNC Hospitals preparing her for her work at TABLE. She has been serving as TABLE's Program Director since April 2013. Since that time she has grown the number of children served from 170 to 500 children weekly. Our Team Leaders lead volunteer shifts for all volunteers every week. Traditionally, they are trained individually by our Program Director. Starting in February 2017, all Team Leaders will undergo an orientation about TABLE, specifically, so they better understand TABLE's programs and goals, the kids we serve, and are able to speak knowledgeably about hunger in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County. New Team Leaders will also undergo an individual training session about their volunteer shift. Additionally, we will have bi-annual or quarterly opportunities for our volunteers to attend an orientation to learn about hunger, TABLE, and how they can get involved in helping us feed kids! Describe the specific period over which the activities will be carried out and include an implementation timeline. Planning for our WMBP begins in mid-August. Delivery of food will be carried out from mid- September 2017 until the first week of June 2018. We will be delivering bags of healthy food to kids at their school, after school center, or apartment home every week. This program has been executed for nine years. We begin reaching out to new and current partner agencies in August/early September. By mid-September we make our first delivery. We continue to add new children to our roster and increase the number of children served throughout the school year.
