We have developed and incorporated operation <br />policies and procedures that hopefully limit/account for potential bias that may impact <br />service decisions and are very aware of how and when bias may play a role or impact <br />service. Since we’ve recognized we do have barriers for those in the Hispanic/Latinx and <br />Asian communities potentially based on language and food, MOWOCNC has translated <br />brochures about our program into Spanish, Mandarin, Burmese, and Karen. One of the four <br />goals of our current strategic plan focuses on ensuring our volunteers, staff, board, and <br />recipients better reflect the diversity of the communities in which we serve. <br />6. Please describe how you have involved the intended beneficiaries of the proposed <br />project in the planning and design process (in 100 words or less). <br /> <br />We do an in-depth intake interview for all potential clients that focusses on food insecurity, <br />health and wellness, social isolation, and loneliness, and offers all the options MOWOCNC <br />currently has the capacity to offer which enables the client to have choice/input into the <br />services received. We also work collaboratively with partners to better understand the needs <br />of current and potential recipients and the challenges some older adults may face in learning <br />about or accessing services. <br /> <br />7.
