10.5.3 - Other Types of Facilities Agencies Operate in Addition to Food Distribution

In addition to other services provided by their programs, agencies were asked whether they operate other facilities at the agency level for their clients. Table 10.5.3 summarizes the results.

This table was constructed based on usable responses to Question 29 of the agency survey.
Notes 
All usable responses were weighted as described in Chapter 3 and in the Technical Appendix volume to represent all emergency food programs of the A2H network. The sample sizes (N) also include missing data.

Missing, don't know, and refusal responses combined are 5.7%.

1. Multiple responses were accepted

2. The primary goal of the Kids Cafe program is to provide free and prepared food and nutrition education to hungry children. The Kids Cafe program also offers children a safe place where they can enjoy educational, recreational, and social activities under the supervision of the program staff. Kids Cafes utilize, as their program sites, existing community resources, such as Boys and Girls Clubs, or schools for instance where children already naturally congregate.

3. This includes learning centers, food delivery services, and day programs for mentally disabled adults.
