D33. Please <br />describe any other <br />aspect of your <br />project that is <br />relevant to local <br />economic <br />development. (100 <br />word limit) <br />Sourcing food locally is always best for the local economy! Our dollars, <br />donor dollars, are not going toward another state or country but are staying <br />right here in Orange County to source food for local kids. W e are <br />reinvesting back into our own community. <br />Criterion 6 - Amount and Duration of Engagement This criterion has a <br />maximum score of 3 pts (out of a total of 26 pts). <br />D34. Please <br />describe the target <br />population to benefit <br />from the project. (200 <br />word limit) <br />TABLE began by feeding 12 elementary-school children in 2008 and has <br />grown to now feeding 1,125+ children every week across Orange County - <br />with a waitlist. W e anticipate growing to feed 1,250 children in the coming <br />year. TABLE’s participating children are all ages 0-20. W hile only 26% of <br />our county’s residents are people of color, disproportionately over 85% of <br />our participants are children of color and almost half speak a language <br />other than English at home. Nearly every one of their families live at or <br />below 80% AMI (a standard measurement for low-income) and experienced <br />low food security prior to participating in TABLE. Poor health outcomes <br />disproportionately affect children of color, and TABLE seeks to improve the <br />equitable distribution of healthy food in our community among children of all <br />backgrounds. <br />D35a. How many <br />people will benefit <br />from your project in <br />one year? (This is <br />the same number <br />from row 8 in the <br />D16 table above) <br />1250 <br />D35b. Please <br />describe how you <br />arrived at this <br />number. (200 word <br />limit) <br />TABLE delivers food to over 1,125 kids weekly currently. W e have a <br />waitlist of around 200 children and anticipate feeding 1,250 children weekly <br />in the coming year (we will still have a waitlist). W e include fresh, local <br />produce in all standard bags of food we deliver to kids. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 607995AB-FD72-4B81-91C2-2C0A73A91963
