EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Term of Contract: July 1, 2014—June 30, 2015 Agency: Spectrum Community Services Address: 2621 Barrington Court Hayward, CA 94545 Contact Person: Lara Calvert, Executive Director Phone: 510-881-0300 Project Name: Senior Meal Program PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Based on the funds granted, Spectrum Community Services will serve 322 San Leandro seniors--7,384 hot, nutritious meals per year at San Leandro Senior Community Center and Fargo Senior Apartments. MAJOR ACTIVITIES Senior Meal Program lunches will be served five (5) days a week, 248 days per year, at the San Leandro Senior Community Center, the Fargo Senior Center, and Ashland Community Center. Each site schedule is customized to the needs of the sponsoring facility and the senior clients. Each day, hot, nutritious lunch-time meals will be prepared at Spectrum Community Services' newly renovated commercial kitchen located at Josephine Lum Lodge in Hayward. The meals are carefully planned and prepared to be delicious, low salt, low fat, and nutritionally balanced to supply 1/3rd of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for older adults. After preparation, meals will be packed in bulk containers and delivered by Spectrum's Van Driver to the two San Leandro dining sites. A Spectrum Site Coordinator will work with Senior Meal Program staff, facility staff and volunteers at each site to portion the food and serve the meals restaurant style to the seniors. The Senior Meal Program staff or volunteers welcome each participant for lunch, log participants, register new participants, and receive voluntary donations. No senior is ever turned away for lack of money. To keep participants voluntary donations confidential, Spectrum will maintain records of donation amounts received at each site, not by each participant. Our fundraising is done to help cover the costs for seniors who cannot give the suggested $3.75 donation. As part of Spectrum's Senior Meal Program, Senior Meal Program staff make regular nutrition presentations on healthy living and eating and take questions from program participants. We include nutrition information and tips on the backs of Senior Meal Program menus, and Senior Meal Program staff and volunteers are trained to reinforce connections between nutrition, physical activity and health. - 13- CDBG Agreement with Spectrum Community Services FY14-15
