Please also <br />explain how the program aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro's Human Services Program <br />Results Framework and/or Orange County's BOCC Goals and Priorities (250 words or less). <br />Target Population <br />The program target population demographics table is included as an <br />attachement on the application cover page. Please download the excel <br />spreadsheet and fill out the demographic data in the table and then upload it <br />with your application. Provide one copy per program that you are requesting <br />funding for. <br />TABLE@Home, our main food access program, aligns directly with both Chapel <br />Hill-Carrboro and Orange County's priorities: we seek to promote our youngest <br />neighbors' well-being and improve health outcomes. TABLE delivers healthy <br />nonperishables and fresh (often local & organic) produce to over 900 children's <br />(ages 0-20) homes weekly. Our nutritionist-reviewed menu includes healthy, <br />culturally-varied, kid-friendly foods. From 2008-2020, we delivered food to <br />schools where it was sent home in kids' backpacks. In 2020, we pivoted to door- <br />to-door, increasing the quantity of fresh food sent home, eliminating stigma, <br />encouraging more participation among food-insecure teens, & increasing family <br />engagement. One parent said, "I truly appreciate, look forward to, and enjoy the <br />"TABLE Delivery" knocks!" Through TABLE@Home, participants have improved <br />food security, healthy behaviors, and outcomes. <br />-84.3% of parents report that their children are willing to try more fruits and <br />vegetables than they did before participating in TABLE; <br />-82% of parents are encouraged to purchase more nutritious food options when <br />grocery shopping because of participation in TABLE; <br />-69.4% of families report eating more meals together because of food from <br />TABLE (family meals have been shown to improve children’s health - source); <br />-51% of children experience improved overall health (physical, mental, and <br />emotional). <br />TABLE would benefit greatly from continued Human Services funding for our <br />efforts to alleviate childhood hunger and help our kids experience better <br />nutrition, less illness, improved academics, & success for life! With your support <br />we can deliver to more homes so more families can "enjoy the "TABLE Delivery" <br />knocks!" <br />Docusign Envelope ID: D43192F0-F492-433D-8CDD-C94458BC2F9A
