2 Emerald City Community Economic Development Corporation (ECCED) Board Memo To: Pauline L. Blank, Board President From: Kylie Ferland, Executive Director Subject: New Program Proposal Date: February 13, 2024 Dear Ms. Blank, Since 2012, Emerald City Community Economic Development Corporation (ECCED) has been a large part of the community. We know that many of our low-income residents face adversity that others do not. As such, I am proposing that we open food pantries and home delivery service for those in our communities. According to research, in 2022 12.8 households faced food insecurity (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 2023). In 2022, 11.5% of all households fell below the poverty rate in the United States (Center for American Progress, 2024). Many of those in our communities have to choose between housing, food, medication, and transportation. I feel like the issue of food security needs to be addressed. For this to be accomplished, we should establish 3 food pantries. One should be located at Charter Elementary School, one at our 50-unit business, and one at the senior living complex. We should also offer grocery delivery for those that are unable to go themselves. This can make sure that those of our clients that are the most vulnerable are able to eat healthily and will not have to worry about the barriers to food. A program such as this aligns with ECCED’s mission, which is to provide a way for people to improve their quality of life. Food is a necessity to survive and should be a basic

3 human right. With food prices increasing, it is becoming harder for people to afford quality, healthy food. The three food pantry and home delivery service can be implemented easily. By utilizing spaces that we already have such as the communities that we have built and the school, we can save money. We can also utilize staff that is available in those locations. The budget for this project should be $300,000. This project will help 250 families and individuals. The cost will be about $100 per person/family per month. Those that struggle the most to get the services that they need will be able to get back into the swing of things and back on their feet. We do not need to purchase additional space. We would need to purchase 2 passenger vans which will cost $750 per month, food for delivery as well as for the pantries at about $6000, and additional staff including a Program Director and a Nutritionist. This program will help to grow ECCED as it is going to allow for additional funding to be available for the organization as well as giving the organization a better opportunity to serve our clients. With the financial concerns that we are facing, the additional funding opportunities is important for the success of this program and the organization. Staff will have a change to increase their leadership skills and their ability to communicate as the new program is implemented. ECCED will be able to expand the team by hiring new staff to help fill positions. These staff members should be passionate about the program and what ECCED does overall. They should also bring fresh ideas to the table which can help the program grow over time. Sincerely, Kylie Ferland, Executive Director
