We are requesting basic information about your organization’s racial equity work. <br />5. How has your organization incorporated racial equity goals into your organizational goals? <br />We believe racial equality begins with food equality. Every person should have access <br />to healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant foods. <br />We collaborate with the neighborhoods we serve by working with community organizers <br />in each of those communities with the goal to build relationships and self-sufficiency. <br />We build cross-cultural teams because we value diversity and inclusion, and to ensure <br />we’re addressing the needs of each community we serve. <br />We listen to and uplift the voices of participating community members by regularly <br />surveying recipients in the communities we serve. This real-time data lets us know how <br />we’re performing and how we can improve. <br />We engage through social media, our volunteer coordinator, and our neighborhood <br />coordinators, inviting all stakeholders to participate with the goal of full community <br />participation. <br /> <br />6. Please describe how you have involved the intended beneficiaries of the proposed project in the <br />planning and design process (in 100 words or less). <br />Beneficiaries are Hispanic, Black, and White members of our community. <br />Representatives from each of these communities, program recipients, are an integral <br />part of our FRESH Initiative and help guide us in procuring the right fresh foods. For <br />instance, through conversations and surveying, we learned that Hispanic families favor <br />pork over chicken and that sweet potato is not culturally appropriate. <br /> <br />7.
