Please describe one to three key partnerships/collaborations that add the most value to <br />the success of the proposed programs. <br /> <br /> Meals on Wheels America: Resource for studies, research, data, program <br />development, and implementation strategies. Collective knowledge and practice from <br />MOW’s across the US. <br /> Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County: provide consistent funding through human <br />service grants <br /> UNC Student Groups – research projects, evaluation, program development and <br />recipient informational updates <br /> <br />5. If you are not awarded a Community Impact Award, what would your agency’s funding <br />request be? <br />As much funding as possible to enable MOWOCNC to sustain meal delivery service in <br />Chapel Hill. In August of 2022, meal prices increased by $1.60 per meal, adding an <br />additional $100,000 to meal expense annually, just to maintain current delivery levels. <br />We are projecting significant budget deficits in 2023 which suppress our ability to roll <br />recipients off the waitlist or reach out to the unserved or underserved. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: E701E49A-4289-4810-AE30-AED24F19182B
