Latino Health Access Weekly Food Distribution Program RFP 22-009A REVIVE Santa Ana: Food Supply/Distribution Programs EXHIBIT A 1. Proposal shall include details of food supply and/or food distribution services to be provided, the tasks to be accomplished, duration of the program (proposals may be up to two years) and the deliverables to be provided. The Goal of Latino Health Access' Weekly Food Distribution Program is to mitigate food insecurity among working-class, Latinx residents of Santa Ana. Objectives: Within a two-year grant period, Latino Health Access will accomplish the following objectives: 1. Conduct 4,500 outreach contacts annually in working-class neighborhoods of Santa Ana to promote food distribution. 2. Provide a minimum of 46 food distribution events annually for City of Santa Ana residents. 3. Provide food supply to 800 Santa Ana residents per month through food distribution events. 4. Distribute at least 3,000 diapers per month to Santa Ana families. Program Description: Latino Health Access (LHA) promotores will continue to organize a weekly food distribution with a diaper distribution once a month at LHA's main facility (450 W. 4a' Street, Santa Ana, CA, 92701). This location is central to the city and has ease of access through public transportation, although a majority of residents are from the 92701 Zip Code. The weekly distribution will accommodate a walk-thru and drive-thru format to make it accessible for Santa Ana communities without a car. Activities: ® Outreach (Timeline: Ongoing, during the duration of the grant) —Occurring via door-to-door, in shopping centers and other community -based locations, through outreach, LHA Promotores are able to inform community members of the food distribution resource, as well as answer any questions or concerns (e.g. assure community members that LHA will not require legal immigration status, payment, or other requirement that may dissuade members of the community from utilizing this resource). During the COVID-19 pandemic, LHA expanded its presence in neighborhoods that lack infrastructure to deploy services and successfully reached and trained community leaders to assist in building such infrastructure for communication and action. LHA will continue to leverage these networks to conduct ongoing outreach to promote the food distribution and to informally assess needs related to food insecurity in these neighborhoods. LHA will also disseminate information via social media channels on Facebook and Instagram to widen our reach. Food (and Diaper) Distribution Events the food distribution begins at 12 noon with the first hour designed to accommodate walk-ins who do not have access to a car. From 2PM-4PM, the food distribution is set-up to accommodate distribution to individuals in vehicles. Registration occurs onsite for individuals attending the food distribution, and those who have previously attended other food distribution events are provided a voucher
