  3. What we did • Observed a puzzle: low income people eating very healthy, but reporting to shop at convenience stores. • What was missing?  Non-profit food providers • Partnered with NTFB to identify non-profit providers and developed new survey questions to understand food acquisition from both commercial and non-profit sources

  4. Charitable Food Providers • 38 Charitable Food Providers serving the Fair Park Neighborhood • 33.5% of respondents received food from at least one pantry in the last 6 months

  5. Charitable Food Providers • 65% of those who received food from a charitable food source within the last 6 months visited: • Community Baptist Church • Child Care Group MLK • Peoples Missionary Baptist Church • Cornerstone Baptist Church • Good Street Baptist Church • Exline Park • Mt. Olive Lutheran Church • St. Luke United Methodist Church • Dallas Bethlehem Center • YMCA NTFB Member Agencies

  6. Some Considerations… • What’s next: • How do the results inform what is being done locally? • How can we leverage our joint expertise to inform.. • New questions? • Better interpretation of current results? • New solutions coupled with robust analysis?
