COMMUNITY FOOD & NUTRITION PROGRAM
1993 APPLICATION
Agency: Weld County Grant Amount: $3,650.00
Address: P.O. Box 758
Greeley, CO 80632
Contact Person: Judy A. Griego Telephone #: 352-1551 Ext. 6200
Federal Objective/s Grant Complies With:
X a: To improve the coordination of existing private and public
assistance resources to better serve low-income communities;
X b: To assist low-income communities to identify potential sponsors
of child nutrition programs and initiate programs in unserved and
under-served areas; and
X c: To develop innovative approaches at State and local levels to
meet nutritional needs of low-income individuals.
Applicant Program Description:
The Weld Food Bank, a not-for profit agency, accepts food donations
from various local producers and suppliers. Other sources of obtaining
food are food drives, second Harvest National Food Bank Network, TEFAP,
and purchasing food.
In operating an Emergency Food Box program for over six years, we have
noticed some low income hungry persons who seem to "slip through the
cracks" and are not being served by the food network. By working with
the Coordinated Food Box Committee, which is made up of 25 local agency
representatives, a Supplemental Mini Box was designed. This concept
has worked quite well during the past year. Based on the amount
requested, Weld Food Bank would serve 1,200 persons, or approximately
100 per month. The average cost per person is $3.00 per month.
Included in the Mini Box is a protein item such as dairy products, soup
and macaroni and cheese dinner. Extra food items are included such as
fresh eggs, vegetables, bread, sweets, as well as other food items
based on supply. All referrals are made through Weld Information and
Referral Service and the Salvation Army.
The goal of the Community Food and Nutrition Program is to feed hungry
people and prevent the waste of some sporadic large perishable
donations.
Weld County Department of Social Services will be responsible for the
administration of the program.

TO: Constance L. Harbert, Chairman, Board of County
Commissioners
FROM: Judy Griego, Director, Department of Social Services
SUBJECT: Housing Development Grant Contract
DATE: May 27, 1993
The State Department of Local Affairs has invited Weld County to subimt an
application for the Community Food and Nutrition Program. For the past three
years the County has been awarded funds through this program and has
contracted with Weld Food Bank for implementation of the program. This
arrangement has proved to be quite workable and is being recommended once
again this year. The amount available through the Community Food and
Nutrition program this year is $3,650.
We are therefore recommending that the County approve the application as
prepared. Upon Board approval, the application will be forwarded to the
Department of Local Affairs for processing.
If you have any questions, please telephone me at 352-1551, Extension 6200.
