RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Memorandum of Understanding #23-623 with Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, a non-financial agreement, to collaborate with Contra Costa Health Services Department in the coordination of the Community Produce Program for Contra Costa County low-income residents for the period from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Produce Program enables the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano to distribute fresh produce directly to low-income County residents. Fresh produce is available at distribution sites in areas that are determined to be high need, assuring access to people who are in need of high-nutrition and fresh produce.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this Memorandum of Understanding will allow Contra Costa Health Services to assist the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano with recruiting volunteers, distributing informational materials and providing a safe, clean designated area for the produce truck through August 31, 2019. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, low-income residents will not have access to free and fresh produce through the Community Produce Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale.
