On average 1,900 heads of househofds registered for food assistance per month,touching almost 5,000 people with 56%of them being children.The pantry operates with two full-time employees and over 60 regular volunteers and 200+occasional volunteers. 14.The OACP on average registers,1,900 heads of households per month reaching about 5,000 people, 56%being children.As part of our mission,we help registered guests connect to resources.W+th our assistance, 67%of our guests registered and receive SNAP bene�ts for 2013.All data has been compiled and coilected through a new regional pantry software call Salesforce.com. 16.a The OACP provides supplemental food resources for those in need. All registered guests have access to all pantry food resources.A point system is used for the distribution of food. Individuals receive a minimum of 20 points while larger families may receive 35 points providing 5-7 days of food. All folks walking in the pantry will walk out with food. Some folks use the pantry for emergency situations.Other folks use the pantry to fill in the gaps.These people come and go throughout the year. Using pantry resources allows them to perhaps pay a bill and not have to worry about food. For others,the pantry is becoming a consistent method of receiving food. As our clients are aging or become disabted,their ability to increase their financial status is decreased. They need the pantry ir�order to maintain the balance of paying bills and eating.Outcomes will be determined as the pantr�j starts identifying the percentage of clients that are in emergency situations, - filling in the gaps and those that will be using the pantry indefinitely. A strategy will be created around this information and outcomes developed. 21.There are no guarantees when it comes to fundraising. If we are unable to raise the amount needed to run the program at its current(evel, cutting services could be considered. 22.At this time,the pantry has no revenue stream.At this time the long-term funding plan is to continue to work with companies,foundations and individuals to support the services that we provide. 23.All pantries in the community are part of the Hunger Task Force. Meeting every other month, pantry representatives share information and resources as they become available. The OACP works very closely with Feeding America.As a partner, Feeding America is able to negotiate with area and national grocery chains for grocery products that in turn are sold to pantries for$.19 per pound.In 2013,the OACP leveraged over 600,000 pounds of food at this price. 1 , • '. The OACP also works with ADVOCAP to connect our registered clients with other resources that may help them gain their self-sufficiency and no longer need the pantry. We are also enrolled in the TEFAP program administered by ADVOCAP which provides the pantry with thousands af pounds of ineat, cereal,peanut butter and various other commodities. We partner with UW Extension to offer nutrition and cooking classes to our ctients.These classes not only teach how to eat healthier bu#how to create meals that will stretch their food dollar. 2
