Program Name: Fresh Food Purchasing (with TABLE) <br /> <br /> Program Primary Contact and Title: Carlo Wright, Client Relations Coordinator <br /> <br /> Telephone Number: 919.925.2651 E-Mail: carlo@farmerfoodshare.org <br /> <br />7. Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns with <br />the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County BOCC Goals <br />and Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program. (250 words or less) <br />Farmer Foodshare uses funds from a variety of sources to source exclusively NC-grown <br />produce through our Wholesale Market. We then deliver the food to our partner <br />organizations, who provide it to individuals in need. In this way, local farmers (including <br />those located in Orange County) receive an economic boost because we’re paying <br />them for what they grow, and residents receive and consume the fresh food they need <br />to improve their health outcomes (in alignment with Chapel Hill/Carrboro Strategic <br />Objective 3 and Orange County Goals/Priorities 1-2). <br />Through our proposed partnership with TABLE, human services funding would be used <br />to purchase and distribute pallets of fresh, seasonal food to be incorporated into the <br />TABLE@Home program. TABLE@Home provides healthy non-perishables and fresh <br />produce to children attending Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Orange County schools year- <br />round. This extra food ensures children have plenty to eat when they do not have <br />access to school meals on the weekends, during the holidays, and over the summer. <br />TABLE anticipates ordering approximately $10 worth of produce per participant to <br />include in weekly distributions to children participating in the program. The full amount <br />of funding would provide 22 kids with 50 distributions of food over the course of 12 <br />months (1,100 individual distributions). Each participant will also receive nutrition/usage <br />information with each distribution to encourage consumption of the food. <br /> <br />8. Target Population: Please complete the table below with numbers (not percentages) of <br />individuals served and projected to be served. <br /> <br />Note: The following demographics reflect information provided to us by TABLE. TABLE <br />anticipates serving 800 kids over the course of 2022-2023. Our figures anticipate <br />providing food to 22 of those children 50 times each (for a total of 1,100 individuals <br />served), provided our proposal is funded in full. We have scaled our demographics to <br />maintain the percentages reflected in TABLE’s overall population. <br />EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: BC021861-30DF-4F8A-9FA3-8AE2B71D28D0
