Attachment 1 Amendments to Scope of Services . Orange County Food Council 2017 - 2018 Fiscal Year Amendments to Scope of Services • The only change to the Scope of Services agreement for the Orange County Food Council ' s 2017- 2018 fiscal year is applied to Goal area 3 . The original version of this goal is highlighted and the amended version is written in black text below. This goal area had to be amended due to a lack of funding for the Healthy Corner Store initiative . Goal 1 . Action Plan development The Action Plan will be developed in 2 parts . Part one will be an internal document that helps guide the council ' s priorities , task and action timelines , and works within the council ' s existing by- laws and decision making structure . The second part of this Action Plan will function as a public document that incorporates some of the data from the quantitative and qualitative Baseline Community Food Assessment the council conducted with the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention . This Action Plan will be a working document that is updated and reviewed by the council on a continual basis . The plan will include four main steps 1 ) Identified issues in the county/ regional food system 2 ) method for prioritizing issues and actions 3 ) Identify and list strategic partners , stakeholders , and decision makers 4 ) List tactics for addressing priority issues . Goal 2 . Strategic Outreach & Engagement The Orange County Food Council will continue to work with the Family Success Alliance to convene organizations located in or around Zones 4 and 6 that are addressing food access , childhood nutrition , and other food related issues and services . FSA hosts regular meetings with Zone Navigators , which serve as a direct connection between families and resources . The council will create opportunities for Zone Navigators from Zones 4 and 6 to learn more about food - related organizations and food resources in the region . We will expand on and update the " Orange County Food Access Map " created by a food access working group assembled by the Inter- Faith Council for Social Services in 2016 ( attached in appendix) . The updated version will have three new components that include 1 ) Summer meal sites for students eligible for or participating in the free breakfast and free and reduced lunch program 2 ) Updated list of emergency food pick up locations and services 3 ) List of corner stores with healthy retail options -this item is being developed along with Goal 3 . Goal 3 . We will convene a workgroup to develop and implement a health reprogram working in corner stores in Family Success Alliance Zones 4 and 6 to address food insecurity in food deserts where our most vulnerable residents live by providing equipment , signage , and marketing to increase access to healthy foods . We will base the program on the North Carolina State Healthy Food Small Retailer Program recently funded by the North Carolina General Assembly ( one current OCFC member, Dr. Molly De Marco is an advisor to that program ) .
