Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Home Delivered Meal Program
A hot, nutritious meal is delivered to homebound clients in Franklin County, Monday through Friday, who have no one to cook for them. Eligible clients must be sixty years of age or older. An assessment will be completed for qualification. Our program not only provides a hot, nutritious meal to clients, but it also provides a way to check on the condition of the client and for them to have a friendly visit from our meals drivers.
Helping Hands Food Pantry
Our food pantry helps individuals 18+ who are in need of a food box. We also operate an emergency food pantry for seniors 60+ who need a food box, hygiene products and other miscellaneous items.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
