D4. Please list any <br />data sources used in <br />reference to D1, D2, <br />and D3 and show the <br />steps of any <br />calculations. (300 <br />word limit) <br />CHCCS and OCS free/reduced meal participation numbers obtained from <br />their Child Nutrition departments in Fall 2024. <br />Income data of TABLE families is self-reported and compared with data <br />here: https://www.orangecountync.gov/1083/Affordable-Housing-101 <br />Orange County race data https://www.orangecountync.gov/2777/Facts- <br />Demographics <br />D4a. Optional file <br />upload to show the <br />steps of any <br />calculations. <br />D5. Please describe <br />any ways in which <br />low-income or <br />marginalized <br />communities/households <br />were engaged in the <br />creation of this <br />project proposal. <br />(150 word limit) <br />Each year, TABLE distributes our annual survey to all participating parents. <br />This includes questions about food preferences, impact on health and well- <br />being, enjoyment of programming, culturally-relevant food needs, and more. <br />Based on 2024-25’s survey, we know that families want both more fresh <br />food than canned, processed food AND want more nutrition education. By <br />expanding our partnerships with local farms such as W ildflower Lane/Twin <br />Creeks, we are able to increase the amount of fresh food we are <br />distributing and also open up opportunities to take our monthly Family Fun <br />Day program out to the nearby farm for fun educational events. <br />D6. Please describe <br />any potential <br />negative side effects <br />of the project and <br />describe the steps <br />you are taking/will <br />take to eliminate or <br />minimize these <br />impacts to any low- <br />income or <br />marginalized <br />communities/households. <br />(200 word limit) <br />There are no foreseeable negative side effects to low-income or <br />marginalized communities or households. The intention is that they will only <br />benefit (see D17). <br />D7. Are the impacted <br />residents already <br />aware of the <br />potential positive and <br />negative impacts of <br />your project and the <br />steps you are <br />taking? If not, please <br />describe your plan to <br />engage with them <br />and how you will act <br />based on their input. <br />(200 word limit) <br />There are no foreseeable negative impacts to nearby residents. This <br />project has already been approved by Orange County DEAPR. The main <br />positive/neutral impact is that residents in the area will now have a farm <br />instead of an empty field nearby, improving the local air quality and bringing <br />pollinators to the area. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 607995AB-FD72-4B81-91C2-2C0A73A91963
