D1. W ho will directly <br />or indirectly benefit <br />from your project? <br />Please be as <br />specific as possible <br />on the <br />characteristics of <br />those who will benefit <br />including, gender, <br />race, age, income <br />level and geographic <br />location. (200 word <br />limit) <br />All residents of our neighborhood partners will be encouraged to participate <br />in sorting and delivering food waste from young children to the elderly. <br />Households and congregations not familiar with the role of composting in <br />preventing GHG emissions would learn about this climate action strategy. <br />Some of our current neighborhoods are more diverse than the average <br />Carrboro neighborhood, including the 22 unit townhome community of Twin <br />Magnolias on Jones Ferry; the W hispering Hills community, where median <br />home prices are only $250,000; and the W ebbwood community that is <br />considered among the most affordable neighborhoods in Carrboro. <br />Designated community gardens like Baldwin Park in Northside, a low- <br />income neighborhood in Chapel Hill, will benefit by receiving deliveries of <br />free, high quality compost from CompostNow. The 5,000 square foot Giving <br />Garden on Umstead Road in Chapel Hill will receive compost from the <br />University United Methodist Church of Chapel Hill. Most of the produce <br />grown at the Giving Garden is donated to TABLE, which provides healthy <br />food and nutrition education to 1,100 low-income children in Orange <br />County. <br />All Orange County citizens will benefit from collecting and processing food <br />waste into compost because methane, a potent GHG, will be kept out of <br />the atmosphere. <br />D2.
