Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it <br />aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange <br />County BOCC Goals and Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the <br />program. (100 words or less) <br /> <br />Farmer Foodshare (FF) seeks to increase consumption of fresh food <br />(CH/Carrboro) and create a balanced, dynamic local economy and promote <br />well-being (OC) by collecting and donating fresh, local food at four Orange <br />County farmers markets. This food is either purchased from farmers with funds <br />donated by shoppers or gleaned from farmers at the end of market. <br /> <br />All food is delivered to partner agencies in Orange County the day it is collected <br />and then distributed to the individuals that agency serves. The agencies <br />(Refugee Community Partnership, IFC, IFC-Homestart, Club Nova, Friends of <br />the DSS, and Central Elementary) are selected in conjunction with the farmers <br />markets to ensure that the community’s most urgent hunger needs are being <br />addressed through fresh food. <br /> <br />This program helps build a healthy, sustainable food system by supporting the <br />livelihoods of our local farmers while creating community through the practice of <br />healthy eating. <br /> <br />7. Target Population: Please complete the table below with numbers (not <br />percentages) of individuals served and projected to be served. <br />Note: Our partner agencies report the number of individuals served through the <br />Donation Station program. Because they do not provide consistent demographic <br />information, we have not included this level of detail; however, all are considered <br />low-income. The number of participants dropped after 2018-19 because TABLE, <br />PORCH and CASA discontinued using produce donated through the Donation <br />Stations. They instead purchase food through our Wholesale Market. This means <br />that more food went to the remaining recipient agencies. <br /> <br />Program Target Population Demographics <br /> <br />Projected <br />2018-19 <br />Actual <br />2018-19 <br /> Projected <br />2019-20 <br />Projected <br />2020-21 <br />Gender <br />Men <br />Women <br />Nonbinary/Genderqueer <br />Self-Describe <br />Total 5243 5243 3936 3936 <br />Race and Ethnicity <br />Black or African-American <br />American Indian or Alaska Native <br />Asian <br />White <br />EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 8C888F46-91B5-4337-8927-E87F20B28ADC
