If our bid is approved, we will use the funds to expand, and doubling our capacities to serve <br />more communities throughout Santa Ana. <br />- The addition of additional infrastructure like a forklift and refrigerated storage will <br />increase our ability to leverage existing donations. Freed from time pressures associated <br />with perishable items like dairy or meat products, we will be able to distribute donations <br />at the locations where they are most needed. Having a forklift will not only speed up our <br />pickups and deliveries and reduce our need for manpower, but it will also enable us to <br />do simultaneous deliveries and pickups at two different locations. <br />Our biggest innovation is the creation of our UABF Dispensa Delivery program. This will <br />be a program similar to Meals on Wheels that will allow us to deliver food directly to hard <br />hit community members that are part of Palanca program through individual food <br />deliveries or localized, smaller food distributions that take less manpower than our larger <br />events. Not only will the Palanca program help us target the communities and individuals <br />most in need, but it specifically accommodates the needs of individuals who continue to <br />be most affected by the pandemic (including seniors, immunocompromised people, <br />disabled people, caregivers, and young families). <br />
