USDA OBJECTIVES
1.
Each set of objectives is separated by a piece of paper with a number on it. This number
corresponds to the number in the far left column of the first four pieces of paper which
lists the projects and their budgets.
2.
You will find instances where there are several groups of objectives with the same
number. Project number 25 - Appalachia for example has several because within that
project different USDA agencies have responsibility for certain areas and each agency
and each state for which they have responsibility is grouped individually.
3.
In the case of project 33, there are several packages because although one USDA agency
is responsible for the work, it is being done in different states and each state has a
different set of objectives.
4.
The upper right hand corner of each page contains the number of the project in case the
sheets become separated.

Community Service Objectives
DC Service Corps
AmeriCorps/USDA Anti-Hunger Team
02-01
I.
Food Stamp Program Outreach and Enrollment Assistance to
Senior Citizens
1.
What work will be done? What service activities will your
participants engage in?
In a project coordinated by DC Hunger Action, members will
work to help senior citizens sign up for the Food Stamp
Program. Members will also hold cooking and nutrition
education demonstrations at senior citizens' housing
complexes, as well as teach seniors how to improve the
nutritional value and cost-effectiveness of their grocery
shopping on a limited budget.
2.
What is the hoped-for result of the work/activities
described above?
Low-income senior citizens, a particularly vulnerable
population in terms of adequate nutrition, will be able to
improve their basic diets through the expanded food dollars
available to them as Food Stamp Program recipients, thereby
reducing the incidence of nutritionally-related medical
conditions among the elderly population in the District of
Columbia.
3.
How will you measure the quality of your product or impact
of your service?
The number of elderly individuals/households who apply for
and are enrolled in the Food Stamp Program will be carefully
tracked and attributed specifically to DC Hunger Action's
Client Enrollment Assistance Project. Improvements in
senior citizens' food shopping choices will be documented
through follow-up interviews with those who attend the
presentations (shopping instruction, cooking demonstrations)
offered.
4.
By what standard will you gauge success?
[Insert responses from Colleen Fee when received]
5.
How many individuals will receive the benefit of the work
your participants perform?
[Insert responses from Colleen Fee when received]
II. Nutrition Work in Local Schools
02-02
1.
What work will be done? What service activities will your
participants engage in?
In a project coordinated by the DC Public Schools' Food
Services office, members will design and perform skits on
nutrition education for children in grades 1-3 and will
provide more advanced nutrition workshops for children in
grades 4-6. Members will also work on school-based
gardening projects, tentatively planned to start in January,
that will be coordinated by the University of the District
of Columbia.
2.
What is the hoped-for result of the work/activities
described above?
Young children will be made more aware of the importance of
good nutrition to their overall health and performance in
school, sports, and everyday events. This expanded
awareness will be enable them to develop the habit of making
wise food choices early in life. This objective also
directly supports the Children's Nutrition Campaign that is
currently being launched by USDA's Food and Consumer
Services (FCS) agency (formerly the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS))
3.
How will you measure the quality of your product or impact
of your service?
The students will be tested on their nutrition knowledge
before and after they participate in the presentations.
4.
By what standard will you gauge success?
The number of children who receive the nutrition education
will be documented. FCS will work with the School Food
Services office to observe and document (as much as
possible) the eating habits of the elementary school
children who participate in the School Breakfast and Lunch
Programs, to see if, for example, they are eating more
vegetables and fruits as a regular part of their meals.
5.
How many individuals will receive the benefit of the work
your participants perform?
This objective will be deemed successful if the students'
nutrition knowledge increases by
percent in the post-
instruction test. We also hope to create
gardens,
on
acres, that should be able to be provide fresh fruits
and vegetables to hungry people.
III. Work with Homeless Citizens
02-03
1.
What work will be done? What service activities will your
participants engage in?
Members will provide outreach at homeless shelters, soup
kitchens, and on the street to homeless people in order to
help them enroll in the Food Stamp and other food assistance
programs, visit job placement services, open bank accounts,
utilize community gardens and farmers' markets, and obtain
substance abuse counseling.
2.
What is the hoped-for result of the work/activities
described above?
Homeless persons in the District of Columbia will be able to
access basic services essential to their continued
existence. Many homeless persons are not aware that these
services and benefits are indeed available to them, or do
not know how to go about applying for and obtaining them;
the anti-hunger team, in cooperation with the DC Coalition
for the Homeless, will provide this information to homeless
persons in a variety of settings: shelters, family housing
centers, streets, etc.
3.
How will you measure the quality of your product or impact
of your service?
The quality of this effort will be measured by the number of
homeless persons who are able to improve their situations by
