It is also provided in "Welcome Packets" (provided to new participants) and is available to participants during the intake process. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983519143 2024-05-07 14:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983519143 The nutrition information consists of flyers, calendars, postcards and QR codes that led to recipes. Nutrition education is also provided on the food bank website. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983521342 2024-05-07 14:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983521342 Food insecurity maps are used. New distributions are added if they are at least 5-10 miles from an existing one. Information is gathered to determine the number of seniors that frequent the location, the size of the facility, size of the parking lot and the capacity to hold the number of participants are all taken in consideration. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983527131 2024-05-07 14:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983527131 If the organization has volunteers, the public space, restrooms, parking lot, location, the need for the CSFP in the area. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983529493 2024-05-07 14:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983529493 -The number of seniors they will be able to assist, how heavily involved do they have to be, how will the distribution affect their ongoing programs. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983531454 2024-05-07 14:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983531454 Coordinating the CSFP with their other activities. Crowd control can also be an issue. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983532623 2024-05-07 14:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983532623 Getting participants to understand it is a federally funded program, managing caseload, determining which client should receive home delivery services. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983535383 2024-05-07 14:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983535383 Food is to be collected and returned to the food bank to be placed back into inventory. tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983536641 2024-05-07 14:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983536641 SNAP application assistance, insurance vendors tracyc19 https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983538367 2024-05-07 14:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983538367 CSFP policies will be the same but that set up and procedures will vary (including whether supplemental nutrition programs are offered at the same time). https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983594654 2024-05-07 15:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983594654 Yes https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983594938 2024-05-07 15:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983594938 Nutrition education is indirect education provided in the box (usually recipes but may also include other nutrition information). We also offer nutrition education in the terms of flyers or posters at select distributions. On occasion, we may offer taste testing but that is rare. https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983597736 2024-05-07 15:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983597736 We use a GIS map of distribution points overlayed with census poverty data https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983598707 2024-05-07 15:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983598707 Does the organization have capacity to run a CSFP distribution - senior population in need, staff/volunteers to facilitate the program, reporting/tracking capability, space, cold storage, and an area that meets all food safety and accessibility requirements. https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983601498 2024-05-07 15:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983601498 Time, people power, and space https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983602576 2024-05-07 15:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983602576 The additional requirements that CSFP has compared to other programs like TEFAP. It is a much more labor/time intensive program and the administrative reimbursement does not cover the full expense of the program. https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983604738 2024-05-07 15:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983604738 The fact that inventory has to be tracked by unit until given to the client (e.g., we are moving pre-packed boxes to distribution sites but the product that leaves are warehouse and inventory system still needs to be tracked by unit until it goes to the client). https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983606904 2024-05-07 15:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983606904 Participants are provided a full CSFP prescription each month. What they do with that product after they receive it is up to them. Some may choose to share select items with others at the distribution as part of a share table. https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983611577 2024-05-07 15:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983611577 Some sites have other food programs running concurrently. This allows seniors to get fresh foods they are seeking and allows us to serve caregivers or others who do not qualify for the program. https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983613360 2024-05-07 15:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983613360 There is a lot of unnecessary paperwork and requirements (e.g., the need to provide clients with a notice of action when their application expires despite how easy it is to recertify them on the spot the next time they come to distribution). https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983620118 2024-05-07 15:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/CSFP_TWG_Meeting_1/LocalAgencySurvey/wish/2983620118
