PENMAN, City ttorney By: 2000-23 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA HEALTHY CITIES AND CO S FOOD SECURITY GRANT APPLICATION 2000-23 City of San Bernardino Food Security Project Abstract Target Population and Need The City of San Bernardino has been hit hard by defense downsizing, industrial flight, and business closures. A total of 31 % of the City's population receive some type of assistance. In the past year, 18 markets have closed within the City increasing the number of vacant markets to a total of 45. Currently, the City has only 15 full service markets to service 184, 986 residents. If funded, this project is just the first step in addressing the food security issue for the entire city. The City has identified a priority area within the City where a high level of the residents are low-income with poor access to fresh produce and less than adequate private and public transportation. The priority area encompasses 55% of the City's population, a total of 101,095 city residents. A total of 5,829 residents living in the priority area receive food stamps and 3,385 families participate in the WIC program. In addition, 40% of the school age children living in the priority area are below the poverty level. Solving the Problem The City will establish the San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project to enhance the quality of life for San Bernardino residents within the priority area by: I) incorporating a school garden program into three local elementary schools to increase the number of children that have a garden at home or are working on a community garden plot; 2) providing nutrition and food production education to community members to increase the healthy eating habits of the participants; and 3) creating a community food policy council that will develop at least one new policy promoting food security in San Bernardino. The School Garden and Nutritional Education Program will be established at three elementary school sites to increase the number of children gardening at home or working on a community garden plot. The gardens will give students the opportunity to learn the skills needed to establish gardens at home. Each school garden site will also serve as a community demonstration site for use in educating parents and community members. Education about nutrition and growing your own food will take place at the gardens, in the after-school programs, in the schools, and in the community centers. Free public workshops will be offered on a regular basis. These workshops will include nutrition education, gardening techniques, and composting. Emphasis will be placed on learning self-sufficiency and sustainability related to food security . A Food Policy Council will be developed to oversee long-term food policies, with a goal of developing at least one new policy promoting food security within the first year. The San Bernardino Food Policy Council will involve interested individuals. Representatives will include community members, youth, nutrition professionals, City staff, school district representatives, community college and University representatives. 2000-23 Needs Statement The City of San Bernardino, with a population of 184,986, is a city that has been hard hit in recent years by the effects of defense downsizing, industrial flight, and business closures. The City has a disproportionately high number of welfare-dependant citizens. Unfortunately, the City of San Bernardino ranks number one in San Bernardino County for the highest percent of welfare recipients. A total of 31 % of the City's population, 57,410 individuals, receive some type of assistance. In the past year, 18 markets have closed within the City increasing the number of vacant markets to a total of 45. Curremly, the City has only 15 full service markets to service 184, 986 residents. If funded, this project is just the first step in addressing the food security issue for the entire city. The City has identified a priority area that will be the stepping stone to securing fresh produce for our residents in need. The priority area is located within the heart of San Bernardino, with the geographic boundaries being south of Highland Ave. to Mill St., west of Tippecanoe to Mt. Vernon Ave. The priority area encompasses 55% of the City's population, a total of 101,095 city residents. A total of 5,829 residents living in the priority area receive food stamps and 3,385 families participate in the WIC program. In the past 18 months 828 caBs were made by residents in the priority area to the County Emergency Food Hotline. During the second quarter of 1999 (April-May-June), Frazee Community Center located in San Bernardino provided 28,600 emergency meals to community residents. Average per capita income for residents living in the priority area is between $6,551 and $10,529 per year. An overwhelming 40% of the school age children living in the priority area are below the poverty level. AB of the elementary school sites selected for the youth gardens are located in low- income areas with poor access to fresh produce and less than adequate private and public transportation. The schools in the priority area were identified to participate based on need. Lytle Creek Elementary School is 1.0 mile from the nearest fuB service market, Monterey Elementary School is 1.7 miles from the nearest fuB service market, and Roosevelt Elementary School is 1.1 miles from the nearest full service market. Total student population for the three schools is 2,261 students. Over 90% of the student population qualify for the free lunch program. The ethnic background of the student population is: 78% Hispanic, II % Black, 9% White. Transportation is limited for a large number of the low-income residents living in the priority area. Over 50% of the households in the priority area are without vehicles, leaving 5,273 residents to utilize the public transportation system. Residents with limited means for transportation are left to shop at stores that are located within walking distance or at loca1liquor stores and gas stations. Gas stations and liquor stores do not offer fresh produce and food prices tend to be considerably higher. Increased access to fresh produce and nutrition education would benefit the low-income residents located in the priority area and would put San Bernardino another step closer to ensuring food security for the community. 2 2000-23 Project Description The San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project is a partnership of schools, community agencies and organizations, City staff, youth, parents, and community members. The purpose of this collaboration is to utilize current and new resources to address food security issues in a priority area. Neighborhood organizations are invited to particIpate in the program by attending workshops, working with the students, and/or becoming a member of the Food Policy Councilor project Steering Committee. Representatives of the neighborhood organizations will be encouraged to regularly attend meetings and work closely with the schools to assist in the implementation of the program. Additionally, parents and local residents will be recruited for involvement through the Parks and Recreation volunteer program, the school volunteer program, and the Inland Empire Volunteer Center. Interested volunteers will have an opportunity to: assist in the construction of the gardens sites and ongoing maintenance; teach or assist with community workshops; work with the students; assist with the distribution of program flyers and literature; and/or be a member of the Food Policy Councilor project Steering Committee. The goal of the San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project is to enhance the quality of life for San Bernardino residents within the priority area by: 1) incorporating a school garden program into three local elementary schools to increase the number of children indicating that they have a garden at home or are working on a community garden plot; 2) providing nutrition and food production education to community members to increase the healthy eating habits of the participants; and 3) creating a community food policy council that will develop at least one new policy promoting food security in San Bernardino. School Garden and Nutritional Education Program The School Garden and Nutritional Education Program will be established at three elementary school sites to increase the number of children gardening at home or working on a community garden plot. The gardens will give students the opportunity to learn the skills needed to establish gardens at home. The School Garden program will be modeled after the City's Blight Buster Program. The approach to incorporating this program will be similar to the Blight Busters program in that teachers at participating schools will have the opportunity to incorporate the program into their curriculum for added enrichment and reinforcement. This program will also be incorporated into an existing after-school enrichment program. Two of the schools selected to participate have been active in the Blight Buster program for the past two years. The City's pre-established after-school program will be used as the foundation for the school gardens. The school district contracts with the city to provide after-school recreation programs at these sites through the state-funded After Schools Leaming and Safe Neighborhoods Partnerships Program. The collaboration involves school district personnel, parks and recreation staff, employment and training departments and parents. The University of California Cooperative Extension and the City Public Services Department will be added partners for the implementation of this program component. 3 2000-23 An effort will be made to recruit volunteers to assist with the construction of the school garden sites, ongoing maintenance of the gardens, and working with the students participating in the program. To ensure proper screening of volunteers, recruitment will be through the Parks and Recreation Volunteer Program, the school volunteer program and the Inland Empire Volunteer Center. With the assistance of the University of California Cooperative Extension Master Gardener, students will construct and cultivate group gardens. Students at participating school sites will have the opportunity to participate in the garden project by participating in the after-school program. Students will be exposed to nutritional information, food preparation techniques, soil preparation techniques, planting and garden maintenance, beneficial insect use, composting and vermi-composting. As the students learn gardening techniques, printed information will be provided to take home so that home gardens can also be started. Parents will also be invited to the schools on key instruction days to observe and learn gardening skills. Produce grown in the garden will supplement the youth's family food supply. In addition to participating in the after-school program, students will also receive enrichment in the classroom. Administration and staff at each site are enthusiastic about the program. Teachers at each site will be encouraged, not required, to incorporate the concept and activities into the classroom. Students will have an opportunity to participate in the San Bernardino Community Garden Harvest. At the beginning of each harvest season students at each school site will have the opportunity to enter the Garden Harvest Contest. The Garden Harvest Contest will serve as an incentive for students by awarding achievement in areas such as attendance, plot organization, productivity, variety and cooperation. Awards will consist of items that further the involvement of the students and their families in healthy eating. These awards may include a coupon for fresh produce, gardening tools, cookbook, etc... To encourage participation, efforts will be made to award and recognize a maximum number of students. Judges for the contest will be recruited from local businesses and school staff so each school will have a panel of judges with varied backgrounds. Potential judges for the contest include after-school staff, master gardener, local farmers, and produce retailers. This partnership will give students the opportunity to learn from professionals in the field. All participating students will be provided with feedback from the judges so they have an opportunity to improve their crops before the next contest. The schools that have agreed to participate in this program have already incorporated the after-school program at each school site. Each of the participating schools have agreed to allocate space for the youth garden, incorporate the garden program into the after-school program, encourage teachers to incorporate gardening into the classroom curricula when appropriate, encourage parent and community participation, and are willing to use the school site for community workshops. To evaluate the effectiveness of the school garden program, students will complete pre- program and post-program questionnaires to determine knowledge of gardening, 4 2000-23 shopping and nutrition habits. The results will determine necessary changes to the program before expansion to other sites. Commllnity Workshops Each school garden site will also serve as a community demonstration site for use in educating parents and community members. Education about nutrition and growing your own food will take place at the gardens, in the after-school programs, in the schools, and in the community centers. Free public workshops will be offered on a regular basis. These workshops will include nutrition education, gardening techniques, and composting. Emphasis will be placed on learning self-sufficiency and sustainability related to food security. The master gardener and other experts in the field will conduct the initial workshops. Volunteers from the workshops will be identified and recruited to become peer trainers. Using the "train the trainer" methodology, participants will receive intensive training in basic gardening and nutritional education and in turn will train both incoming participants and other members of the community in those areas. The Community Workshops will be held to educate the public about a variety of topics that will contribute to healthy eating. Topics may include back-yard gardening, food preparation and cooking, composting, food handling, and food preservation. Incentives will be provided to attendees to induce them to attend workshops. These incentives may include cookbooks, gardening implements, composting material, coupons for fresh produce, etc... Peer trainers will receive additional incentives of this type to keep them involved. Workshops will be conducted at school sites or community centers. Backyards may also be considered as possible training sites. Workshops will be advertised in the Parks and Recreation Community Guide, school newsletters, and local newspapers. Flyers with workshop dates and information will be posted in City Hall, libraries, distributed to community gardeners, neighborhood associations, and churches. Volunteers will be utilized to teach or assist with the community workshops and assist with the distribution of program flyers and educational materials. Volunteers will be recruited using the Parks and Recreation Volunteer Program, the School Volunteer Program and the Inland Empire Volunteer Center to ensure proper screening of applicants. Workshop participants will be asked to fill out a pre-program questionnaire prior to attendance to gauge gardening, shopping, and nutrition habits. To determine habit change and increase of knowledge, the participants will asked to also fill out a post- program questionnaire upon completion of the workshop. Survey data will be utilized to determine effectiveness of workshops and to measure change in participants eating habits. San Bemardino Commllnity Garden The San Bernardino Community Garden is a ten-acre site that provides 120 plots for personal vegetable gardening. This City-owned property is dedicated exclusively to gardening and is administered by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services 5 2000-23 Department. The community garden is located within the priority area and is within walking distance of one of the school sites that will be incorporating the School Garden and Nutritional Education component of this grant. This is the second site for the community garden. Approximately three years ago the garden was relocated from its original site to the current site, approximately 10 miles away, to make room for a multi-field soccer complex. Many gardeners chose not to relocate because of the distance from their homes, while others did not want to start over again. Some gardeners did relocate and, because the new site was also located in a low to moderate-income area, many new gardeners had an opportunity to take advantage of the new site. Instead of remaining empty, the garden has flourished. Gardeners lease plots for a l2-month period, at a rate of$80 (22 cents per day). A reduced rate of $40 per year is offered for senior gardeners. Because of the low cost, the Community Garden generally has a waiting list of 20 -25 gardeners waiting for an open plot. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. The garden has an advisory board that works with department staff and oversees the garden operations and acts as the first link to the gardeners. The advisory board conducts the annual Harvest Festival, enforces rules and policies and handles garden registration. The advisory board also provides tips and instruction to new gardeners and special needs gardeners. These include special garden plots that are operated for a low income area "co-op" and another for handicapped gardeners. Participants in the San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project will be made aware of the Community Garden Program, however, workshop attendees will learn a variety of gardening methods to encourage the establishment of gardens at home. The community garden site will serve as a workshop site and as a resource for the students. The advisory board as well as the gardeners will serve as technical advisors, volunteers, and instructors for the school site gardens and the community workshops. Food Policy Council The San Bernardino Food Policy Council will involve interested individuals with a commitment to improving the availability of healthy food for the residents of San Bernardino. The objective of the Food Policy Council will be to develop at least one new policy promoting food security in San Bernardino. Our goal is to bring together a dynamic, creative group of individuals to serve on the Food Policy Council. A program package will be developed by staff to encourage individuals to become involved in the Food Policy Council. The City will recruit representatives from a variety of organizations. Potential collaborators and contributors for the project include Home Depot, Home Base, San Bernardino County Grants for Teachers, San Bernardino Community Gardeners, Stater Brother's Markets, Valley Community College, California State University, local Neighborhood Association members, nutrition and dietetic professionals from local hospitals, and interested residents. The goal is to recruit 10-15 active members to ensure the Food Policy Council remains at a workable size. The Food Policy Council will report to the Parks and Recreation Commission to ensure the lines of communication will be maintained between the Food Policy Council and the Mayor and Common Council. Our goal is to convene the Food Policy Council within the first four months of the grant cycle. The first goal of the Food Policy Council will be to 6 2000-23 take an inventory of existing programs and projects within the City that address food security. Next, the Food Policy Council will review the existing projects and develop a needs assessment to determine the long and short term goals of the Council. The Food Policy Council will hold a visioning and goal setting workshop to develop a work plan and determine project responsibilities. The objective of the Food Policy Council will be develop at least one new policy promoting food security in San Bernardino. The long term goals of the Food Policy Council will be promoting policy change related to food security for the City of San Bernardino, including development of Farmer's Markets in low-income areas and reviewing the need for school gardens on additional sites. Geographic Location The three elementary schools selected for garden sites are located in the heart of San Bernardino. The schools in the priority area were selected to participate based on need and interest. Lytle Creek Elementary School is 1.0 mile from the nearest full service market, Monterey Elementary School is 1.7 miles from the nearest full service market, and Roosevelt Elementary School is l.l miles from the nearest full service market. Lytle Creek Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary are located in the City of San Bernardino. Monterey Elementary is located in the County unincorporated area. Boundaries for the priority area are south of Highland Avenue to Mill Street, west of Tippecanoe to Mt. V ernon Avenue. Project Time Frame The School Garden and Nutrition Education component will be implemented at the beginning of the grant period by the City's Parks and Recreation staff and the DC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners, with assistance from the City's Public Services Department. Incorporation into the after school program and classrooms will continue throughout the grant term. Community Workshops will be developed by Parks and Recreation staff and the DC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners within the first two months of the grant term. Workshops will be offered to the community during the remainder of the grant term. Food Policy Council recruitment will take place during the first two months of the grant. The Food Policy Council meetings will convene in April 2000. Recruitment and meetings for the Food Policy Council will be under the guidance of the Parks and Recreation Department. Organizational Capability The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department will administer the Food Security Grant. Designated to oversee this project is Senior Recreation Supervisor, Oscar J. Perrier. Mr. Perrier is a twenty-nine year employee of the City of San Bernardino, responsible for both senior citizen and youth programs. Oscar was the department's representative in the collaborative to establish after-school programs for at-risk youth. In working to help initiate the C.A.P.S. (Children's After-School Programs for Success), Oscar has built strong relationships with community educators 7 2000-23 and education administrators. These assets will prove invaluable in coordinating the School Garden and Nutrition Education component in conjunction with C.A.P.S. The City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is the second largest public recreation agency in the County of San Bernardino being surpassed only by the County itself. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has a long and successful history of operating nutrition and feeding programs. This department has established itself as collaborator, partner, contractor, and contracts with the city school district. The Parks and Recreation Department works closely with the School District Nutrition Services Department to ensure that all policy guidelines that are required by the state are being met. This includes meal content, menu planning, temperature control, and deliveries. Senior Nutrition Program - The City's Senior Nutrition Program provides seniors that are 60 years and over with eight senior nutrition sites throughout the City of San Bernardino. Since 1977, an average of 80,000 meals per year have been prepared and served at no cost or low cost to seniors. From July 1, 1998 - June 30, 1999 the City's kitchens prepared over 86,000 senior meals for consumption. Summer Lunch Program - The Summer Food Service Program began in 1977 with 12 sites. Of these 12 sites, 6 were community centers and 6 were elementary school playground programs. The program has expanded to include a total of 45 sites that include churches, apartment complexes, community centers, elementary and middle schools, park sites and missions. During 1998, 76,469 lunches and 11,797 snacks were served. San Bernardino Community Garden - Sponsored by the City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department, the community garden has been in existence for over twenty-nine years, and during those twenty-nine years, has served over 3,000 families. The project has aided the needy and disabled, has brought life to seniors who would have otherwise been sitting at home, and has made a significant difference in the lifestyle of many at-risk youth and their families. The City of San Bernardino Public Services Department The City of San Bernardino Public Services Department staff will be assisting in the implementation of the Food Security Grant. The City of San Bernardino Public Services Department has coordinated Environmental and Recycling education programs within the City since 1994. One of the most successful programs has been the "San Bernardino, You Could Use An Oil Change!" used oil recycling education program. For the past five years students from the San Bernardino City Unified School District have participated in the annual used oil recycling education program and poster contest. The program also offers education for adults at Neighborhood Association meetings and various community events, including the annual Route 66 Rendezvous held in downtown San Bernardino. The City's used oil program is funded by grants from the California Integrated Waste Management Board. In 1995 the "San Bernardino, You Could Use An Oil Change!" program received national recognition from Keep America Beautiful as the first place winner in the field ofrecycling and waste reduction. 8 2000-23 In 1997 funding from California Healthy Cities allowed the City of San Bernardino Public Services Department to implement the "Blight Buster" blight education program for elementary school children in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The "Blight Buster" program currently includes 14 elementary schools and local Neighborhood Associations. The project involves partners from the City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino City Unified School District, staff from participating schools, and representatives from participating Neighborhood Cluster Associations. The University of California Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program The California Master Gardener program is a volunteer program by which the University of California Cooperative Extension extends infornlation in home horticulture and pest management to the citizens of our state. The local Master Gardener Program is administered through the University's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources as a team with county-based advisors and campus-based specialists. The Cooperative Extension also sponsors the Master Food Preserver Program and the 4-H Youth Development Program. Volunteers from the program staff booths at county fairs, home shows, and local farmers' markets, host plant clinics at community centers, appear on public access television and conduct workshops at garden clubs and elementary schools. In addition, program participants develop community gardens, write advice columns in local newspapers, coordinate speakers' bureaus, staff hotlines at county offices, and have worked successfully with local schools in developing gardens and composting sites. Collaborating Organizations The San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project will consist of two committees that will oversee different aspects of the project: the Steering Committee and the Food Policy Council. Both groups will report to the Parks and Recreation Department. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for the overall administration of the Food Security Grant that encompasses the San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project. The Steering Committee will be responsible for the guidance of the grant, ensuring all components are incorporated and completed during tbe grant term. The Steering Committee will consist of representatives from the organizations that are responsible for incorporation of this grant-funded project: the San Bernardino City Unified School District, the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners, the City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department, and the City of San Bernardino Public Services Department. The Food Policy Council will be responsible for forward planning for the San Bernardino Garden Collaborative Project and policies related to food security for the City. The San Bernardino Food Policy Council will involve interested individuals with a commitment to improving the availability of healthy food for the residents of San Bernardino. 9 2000-23 Steering Committee The Steering Committee will consist of representatives from the organizations that are responsible for incorporation of this grant-funded project. The purpose of the Steering Committee is to guide the program and ensure all components are incorporated and completed during the grant tenn.

Lytle Creek Elementary School is an inner city school In the San . Bernardino City Unified School District Lytle Creek School has a very high percentage of low-income families, 96%-of the students at Lytle Creek School participate in the free lunch program. In contrast. only 45% of the families are on AFDC. we have "WOrking poor" families, very few families own automobiles. We also have a high mobility rate (102%). These characteristics makes our school a very good site for the School Garden Project. The philosophy at Lytle Creek School is, "Come Home to School". we work hard to meet the needs of our Lytle Creek School families. We have a strong parent education component ~nd have done extensive work with nutrition, the School Garden project would be a nice complement to this. The Lytle Creek community, like 80 many other inner city communities does not have supermarkets In the neIghborhood and therefore does not have an Immediate source for fresh produce. The School Garden project would fill a big need In our Lytle Creek School Community.
