Evaluation The purpose of the proposed evaluation is to implement an approach to evaluate the amount of low-income individuals provided with goods, evaluate the perceived food scarcity in their low-income homes that receive goods, and provide data of the low-income residents served to community partners to promote ongoing community support. The intention of the Russell County Coalition is to provide food and clothing resources to low-income individuals, assess the monthly expenses of housing, electric, and other necessities to gather data on needs. Along with providing food and clothing to low-income individuals, the coalition will provide the LCAA with data and referrals of those individuals that need help with energy assistance, …show more content…
This evaluation is to assess the cost and the hours that are provided monthly to the Coalition.
Stakeholders The Russell County Coalition’s stakeholders are the partners, individuals, and groups within Russell County that take interest in the results and actions of the Coalition. The evaluation process is to grant these individuals with the reported needs within Russell County, the effectiveness of the program, the cost analysis, and overall results of the Coalition. The stakeholders will include the program director, the part time and full time staff, local churches, board of directors, and local volunteers. The program director/social worker will perform team management, program developer, help with the data collection and oversee data collection. The secretaries will assist with team meetings as needed, perform data collection, and oversee the inventory of goods. Local churches will help with the transportation of goods to low-income individuals that are home bound. The local churches will also provide support, donation of goods, build social support for the coalition. Board of directors, which will be the same board that oversees the LCAA, this board will provide employee support, offer help with community involvement, program development, and provide support with fund building and financial responsibilities.
All resources meet the 4-A’s, which include accessible, acceptability, affordability, and availability. Due to the increased amount of homelessness within Savannah, the limits of availability are usually filled to capacity, therefore leaving people on the street. This overflow is a likely culprit for the small group observed during the window survey. Furthermore, the advertising of available resources does not meet the needs of those who do not have access to television, radio, newspaper, or internet. Regardless, of the advertisement, within the community there are many resources for those in need. There are locations and specific times when the homeless can shower and do laundry at local churches. Also, there are food stamps or soup kitchens available to people throughout the day. There are also assistance programs within medical practices that cover healthcare, prescription assistance, counseling, mental health, and substance abuse treatment. A noted gap within the healthcare coverage, is the fact that often those in need must show proof of homelessness. Obtaining proof of homelessness may be difficult. That fact leads the likelihood of many homeless people being refused
In Fred Stenson’s “In Search of a Modest Proposal” the author states, using his daughter’s first essay assignment as an example, that essays are inherently personal and should reflect the author’s own ideas, and that essay curriculums are flawed in their formulaic approach to teaching what is supposed to be a creative form of writing. Stenson’s essay uses a liberal amount of sarcasm to get his point across, and coupled with a reliance on personal examples his overall argument loses some efficacy. However, most of his irony and sarcasm are effective in their emotional appeals, and when coupled with more convincing examples and reference to authority that directly support his claim, they make for a compelling debate that is hard to refute.
Introduction Dayton, Ohio has many current food issues. An especially large issue is food access. Low income families cannot provide food for their children on a regular basis. According to the USDA Food Access Atlas, Montgomery County has a large issue regarding food access. Much of the county is considered to have low income, the US Census Bureau states that 13.5% of the county’s population lives in poverty, so people are less able to provide themselves with food. Many people also have low access, so accessing food is difficult because in low income areas grocery stores and markets are scarce. The USDA Food Atlas states that 29.56% of the population in Montgomery county have low access to a store, which is 158,183.23 people (USDA Food
“The developed world deprives children of a basic and inalienable right: unstructured outdoor play. Children today have substantially less access to nature, less free range, and less time for independent play than previous generations had.” This quote is from the research based paper titled, “Where the Wild Things Should Be: Healing Nature Deficit Disorder through the Schoolyard." This article touches many aspects of how children now a days need more exposure to nature like it was on the older days. Currently, there are many playgrounds around the United States and even more the world. This article is trying to bring awareness to the problem of if playgrounds do not have enough nature or is too safe then it is
Thesis: The United Way of Champaign County utilizes their resources to provide aid to the local homeless population.
When Swift is describing the use of children as commodities, it is ironic because his intentions are to actually explain that the English view the whole Irish population as commodities. The English landlords are the ones responsible for Ireland’s poverty. The essay shows, through sarcasm, that the English have purposely took everything from the Irish because they view them as commodities. One example of sarcasm used to portray that idea is that the utilization of infants will be “proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children” (804). It is very apparent that Swift blames the English for Ireland’s problems. He also blames the Irish Catholics that allowed English policy to break down Ireland.
Homelessness is a problem in many communities across the United States. It is particularly sad when one sees women and children that are homeless. The Cornerstone Rescue Mission Women and Children Home in Rapid City, South Dakota addresses this need in this particular community. They serve pregnant women, single women, Veteran women, girls under the age of 18 with their mother, and boys under the age of 16 with their mother. A community assessment was completed on this population to identify strengths and their particular needs; interventions were then done based on these needs.
Just a reminder that our first practice is tomorrow at Rice School field from 5:30-6:30PM. The league requested that I ask all parents for clarification about kids' interests. It would be best to know which players would like to pitch and play catcher. I certainly do not want to have a child pitch or catch if he/she is not comfortable. Please let me know if your child has an interest in either position. If your child wants to catch, please ensure that he/she attends practice with a protective cup. Remember that Saturday is our parade day. Each child should be dropped at the "Industrial Park" at Honey Farms by 8:15 (at the latest). The entire parade begins moving by 8:30. I will be there by 8:00 to ensure our kids are chaperoned. Tomorrow
Jonathan Swift, the writer of the satirical essay A Modest Proposal, grew up and lived in Ireland during times of famine and economic struggles (Conditions). Growing up with a single mother and no father, Swift knew what hard times and struggles were like (Jonathan Swift: Biography). His essay proposes an easy solution to the economic problems going on in Ireland for both the wealthy ruling classes and the poorer classes, although his intentions and the meaning behind his words are not what would be originally thought when initially reading the essay. Through his word choices and the description of specific events of his time, Swift uses satire to grab his audience’s attention and get his own personal ideas and opinions out about all the
Since this isn’t a large population in the county it is easily overlooked and not too many things are done in efforts so support or help this population. The response this population gets from the community is not much, but there are a few things to help tem out. Isanti County has a Refuge Network for abused and battered women, homeless shelter, and food shelves to ease the hardships of poverty (Isanti County Gov. Center). These resources help to support this population in Isanti County as well. In dealing constructively with this issue Isanti County also has been making efforts toward making affordable housing for low income families and seniors (Isanti County Public Health 2015). This is in efforts to help people escape poverty. The effort to help people out of poverty in this community could be greater. The county may not have a huge problem with people in poverty but it is still there and should not be over looked. There could be more resources available to people in need, one being job assistance programs to help people in poverty to get jobs. The efforts do seem to be growing in support of people in poverty but there still is plenty of room to grow

The second rhetorical appeal, pathos, is used in this commercial. Teen violence is becoming the norm of young ladies. People look at young ladies as angels. As they can do no wrong. But that was back in the day of our mothers and their mothers. Times have changed in the twenty first century. The mass media has increase the context of violence throughout the years. More than ever, young ladies are dreaming of becoming the next reality star. Shows like “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” and the “Bad Girls Club” promotes violence and the lavish life of money. Sex and drugs also play out on these shows. According to Eugene V. Beresin, Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean Hospital,
A. The current mission of the Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless is to provide assistance to vulnerable populations in the city of Elizabeth and throughout Union county. The coalition breaks this larger mission among smaller sections that all play a role in helping the Coalition provide advocacy and education for those peoples in need. Since 1981 the Coalition has been housed in a converted church. There have been few noticeable changes outside of the grey security door that allows entrance from the side. Even if one wasn’t sure that this place used to serve as a church there is still the religious sign of the large sloping roof that is commonly associated with certain Christian houses of
The homeless and low-income families have numerous resources available like the Interfaith Church that offers a Soup Kitchen Supplemental Nutrition program that is made up of these sources: commodity supplemental food program, emergency food program, food assistance, and USDA commodity program. The number of soup kitchen meals served peaked in July to just over 50,000, and were the lowest in April at just under 40,000. Majority of their clientele is homeless adults. Another good resource is Social services that can assist with charitable healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or S.N.A.P. These programs help to provide access to health care and proper food and nutrition. The Affordable Housing Project offers studio apartments, 1-bedroom
Greetings, this is Anne Sinead; a concerned and outraged mother from the countryside south of Dublin. I'm writing this letter to inform you on why Mr. Swifts "Modest Proposal" is a completely appalling a disgusting idea that only Hades could come up with. How can he even have the audacity to even suggest something like this is beyond me, and in all honesty; he should be hanged. No normal, caring woman would every give up their baby for money, or for food. It against our laws, it is against our way of life, and it is against god. Our children our the future, and we must support them, because they are our future. Other surrounding countries also will be concerned about this to, and could perhaps create political tension in Europe.
