4. We will identify and deliver meals to 1,500 seniors (over the age of 65), <br />immunocompromised individuals, caretakers of people with disabilities who are living <br />alone or unable to leave their home due to illness, lack of transportation, or difficulty with <br />mobility. <br />5. We will provide diapers, formula, wipes or any other item that is donated from our <br />sponsor Baby2Baby and serve 1000 infants per month or 12,000 infants at 1 year <br />ending <br />Over the years and particularly during the 2020-21 pandemic, we have developed relationships <br />with various grocery stores, food banks, and corporations with surplus products. Our partners <br />include Amazon Fresh, Northgate, Walmart, Giving Children Hope, and Food Finders. We are <br />also in the process of establishing a partnership with the Second Harvest Bank as well as <br />additional food donors. Our process for gathering donations, and the type and condition of <br />donated products, varies from company to company. For example, Amazon Fresh reaches out <br />to us when they have excess food that is fresh, not expired, and unopened, but for whatever <br />reason was sent back or rejected by the consumer. We then go pick up the food, put it in <br />storage or take it to a food distribution site. If we do not have storage but we have a place to do <br />a food distribution, we distribute the goods right away. This in particular means meat, dairy, and <br />other perishable products, which can be challenging to distribute rapidly Grant funding from <br />Revive Santa Ana will allow us to buy a used forklift, and a large storage space, removing time <br />pressures and ensuring that we can distribute all the donations we receive at locations where <br />they will have the greatest positive impact. <br />The tasks that will go in place for food distribution events are as follows: <br />1. Identify and map low-income communities in Santa Ana to target for food distribution <br />events. <br />2. Partner with the City of Santa Ana, allied nonprofits, the Mexican consulate, and <br />neighborhood leaders to help us secure locations, dates, and volunteers. <br />3. Collect food supply with our trucks on a continuous basis, including both scheduled <br />pickups and the ability to provide short -notice pickups. <br />4. Deliver perishable food items to refrigerated storage location and non-perishable and <br />other items to our other storage locations. <br />1. <br />At each food distribution event, key leadership positions will be staffed by experienced Directors <br />of Special Events named in our Organizational Structure Chart. These Directors will delegate <br />staff and volunteers to the following roles: <br />- Traffic Control Coordinator <br />Guides traffic to parking areas and facilitates quick drop-off and pickup for <br />participants of vendors. <br />
