V. PROJECT NARRATIVE:
Provide a detailed Project Description of the project/program (and its objectives) that the City of Lake Elsinore grant funding will be used to support.
ALTV's 5 Points program serves the Lake Elsinore community in the areas of clothing, food, health, literacy and supplies. We expect to expand our services to the SAFER (Student and Family Essential Resources) program through the Lake Elsinore Unified School District. The SAFER program works with foster, homeless and at-risk children and families under the direction of the Social Services Resource Specialist and her staff to ensure that the children are able to attend and stay in school.
Describe how your organization will use the funding awarded? Include equipment or services that would be purchased and why.
Working with the SAFER team, grant funds will be used to purchase supplies and/or services that are unduplicated by other organizations or funds. The SAFER team makes visits to families to assess their needs. ALTV will purchase gasoline cards so that families can get to school, work, the grocery store or appointments. We will also purchase ALDI "food only" gift cards for families in need to have healthy food at a lower cost than traditional grocery stores, reducing food insecurity. Cards will be distributed on an as needed basis and tracked by the SAFER team.
Explain how the grant funding will specifically benefit City of Lake Elsinore residents. Also, who is the target population and provide the estimated number of people expected to benefit from this project/program plus the number of volunteers involved.
Services provided and supplies purchased directly benefit Lake Elsinore residents.
Services and supplies have been, and will continue to be, distributed to residents through the Lake Elsinore Unified School District personnel to address basic needs.
We estimate being able to assist approximately 200 Lake Elsinore residents/families.
Approximately 6 ALTV volunteers will be involved in this program.
What methods will be used for community involvement to assure that all who might benefit from the project are provided an opportunity to participate? ALTV volunteers continue to reach out to school districts, government agencies, food pantries, and foster family agencies to obtain access to extremely low to moderate income parents/guardians and children/youth in need.
What evidence is there of a long-term commitment to the proposal? Describe how you plan to continue the work (project) after the Community Support funds are expended? ALTV is currently celebrating its 35th year of operation. ALTV's Thrift Shop provides a stable and reliable source of revenue from thrift shop sales. This revenue, combined with grant funds, as well as funding from private foundations, corporate sponsors and private donations, provides diversified income to support the 5 Points program.
