E. EVERETT WASHINGTON Year over year,our data indicates that children (34%)and seniors(23%)are the majority of consumers needing the services of VOAWW's Hunger Prevention Program. Everett residents may visit twice a month at any of the three food banks and pantries operated by VOAWW in Everett.Our current locations are spread out in South and Central Everett neighborhoods.We also provide residential food bank grocery delivery to home-bound individuals and weekend food packs for school children.Our current operating hours vary by day and location to allow for ample access.Early evening hours and one Saturday a month help accommodate the"working poor"to access the food bank.Hours vary from 9am-7pm on Monday- Thursday,depending on location,and 10am-lpm on Saturday.Guests who arrive outside of regular operations are provided with an emergency food bag and instructions on regular operating hours and locations.The hours and locations are on VOAWW's website(www.voaww.org);posted on the entrance of the main Everett food bank;and printed copies are available at the check-in desk.VOAWW operates food delivery approximately 50 weeks of the year.Weeks without services are calendared in advance with ample notice given to those potentially affected by a closure.Additionally,we have the emergency food bags prepared for guests who show up during planned closures. VOAWW staff provide the service and management with extensive support from trained volunteers,community groups,business groups,faith-based organizations,and schools from the Everett community and beyond. 2019 Human Needs Contracts 8
