DocuSign Envelope ID: EB294A71-C7D1-4EE4-8287-60A6149320D4 <br /> j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br /> allocation is recommended. <br /> IFC would need to consider reducing hours of service, number of meals provided at <br /> the Community Kitchen, or number of households that receive groceries. The worst <br /> case scenario would be that IFC would have to close one program completely. <br /> k) What percentage of your target population is low-moderate income? <br /> 100 percent <br /> l) What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your target <br /> population (e.g. survey, evaluations, etc.?) <br /> IFC has a suggestion box in its waiting area at the Pantry, and suggestions are <br /> reviewed monthly at staff meetings. IFC has also conducted periodic surveys to <br /> secure input about current services, unmet needs and future plans. IFC also has a <br /> more formal process by which members can voice serious complaints. <br /> m) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> IFC is in the quiet phase of our capital campaign to construct a new building at our <br /> Carrboro location, which will house both the Community Kitchen and the Food <br /> Pantry. This new site will provide more residents with food security and do so in a <br /> more dignified and equipped setting that allows for a client choice pantry. <br /> Operations will also be more efficient. Food donations and volunteers will report to <br /> one site, enabling better coordination, preparation and distribution. Provided we <br /> reach our fundraising goal on time, we hope to open the new building by fall 2020. <br /> Additional Program Information <br /> n) Target Population <br /> Complete the following tables, with numbers (not percentages) of individuals served and to <br /> be served, to the best of your ability.. <br /> The data in the following table is only for Food Pantry members, as we do not collect <br /> demographics on Community Kitchen diners. The Kitchen provides lunch to 75 and <br /> dinner to 50 diners each day—an estimated 103 unduplicated diners per year. Diners <br /> represent a diverse group in terms of ethnicity, age, and geographic location. The <br /> program currently serves more men due to its history of being co-located with the <br /> men's shelter until two years ago. <br /> DO NOT SUBMIT THIS PAGE 112312018 '2:00:13 PM Page 34 of 37 <br />
