resources in an honest, open and caring manner.
Vision: A community moving forward collaboratively to improve the lives of all residents while still honoring

Provide an overview of a recent program that your organization has led*
Provide an overview of a current or recent program that your organization has led. Include your evaluation of
outcomes/indicator data (results) to affirm your efforts.
The Franklin County Area Agency on Aging (FCAAA) has successfully led many programs throughout the
County. The FCAAA is committed to serving the older adult population, despite funding struggles. One
program the FCAAA currently leads is the OPTIONS in-home care program. Through this program, care
management is available for individuals 60+ who do not qualify for Medicaid programs and who do not have
the resources to pay privately for help at home. There is a sliding copay scale based on an older adult’s assets
and income. Services may include: personal care, adult day care and/or emergency response units. This
program successfully provides options for an older adult to remain safely in their home with additional
supports. Each month, approximately 415 seniors are served through this program.

Home-Delivered Meals to Homebound Seniors
What is the specific need/problem you want to address?*
Describe the evidence of this need/problem by providing data and exact detailed information to support this
statement.
Food insecurity is a critical national crisis, with millions of seniors experiencing a consistent lack of access to
sufficient food. Seniors face higher risk for many reasons, such as, fixed-incomes traps, food vs medicine
dilemmas, social and physical barriers and demographic vulnerabilities. Franklin County Area Agency on
Aging (FCAAA) is committed to ensuring our homebound seniors are served home-delivered meals at least 5
days per week to fight this food insecurity crisis amongst our senior population.

Provide a full overview of this program/project*
Be sure to fully describe your project. Explain what it is and how it will be implemented. Use this space to explain

The Home Delivered Meal program consists of nutritional meals delivered to the doorstep of homebound
individuals who are at least 60+ and unable to drive, have access to public transportation, or participate in
the senior center congregate meal programs. Home Delivered Meal participants receive an assessment with
an Aging care manager to determine eligibility. Eligibility is based on the senior being homebound. From
there, the meals are available Monday-Friday to ensure food security to seniors throughout Franklin County.
Meals are delivered through our meal delivery route system coordinated out of the County’s eight senior
centers. Meals are delivered by our robust home delivered meal volunteers, ensuring the meals come right to
the doorstep of each older adult.

wellness checks, helping them maintain health, independence, and dignity while remaining safely in their
RONDA RANALLI FRANKLIN COUNTY

EXTERNAL FACTORS
What barriers could affect your work?*
What are your largest obstacles or barriers that could have an influence on your work that may be out of your
control?
RONDA RANALLI FRANKLIN COUNTY
Printed On: 12 October 2026 2027 Summit Endowment Level I - Cycle A 10
Explain in detail what these barriers are, what impact they could have on your work, and how you plan to adjust
accordingly to them if able.
A few potential barriers outside of the program’s control could affect the number of seniors served through
this program. Volunteer availability and retention is the first potential barrier. The program relies heavily on
volunteer drivers. Fluctuations in volunteer availability, illness or turnover could impact the consistency of
meal delivery routes. To adjust, when this occurs a member from the Aging team fills in to deliver meals;
however, delivery times may then change to a later in the day delivery. Weather and environmental
conditions, such as snow, ice or flooding can disrupt meal deliveries. To prepare for this, homebound seniors
are provided with a 5-day supply of frozen meals at the beginning of each winter season, which allows them
to have a frozen meal to heat up in the event of a disruption in a delivery day due to weather cancellations.
Lastly, senior health changes can impact their meal deliveries. Participants’ health may decline suddenly,
resulting in hospitalizations. When a senior within the program is hospitalized, their meals are placed “on
hold” and then upon their return to their home, meal deliveries resume.
ASSUMPTIONS
List any facts or conditions you assume to be true*
Facts we assume to be true, based on our knowledge and data with seniors in Franklin County, are that
seniors experience food insecurity more than what the majority of the community realize. We are also
assuming that seniors are willing to accept help and admit that they need help with nutritional needs.
Budget
RONDA RANALLI FRANKLIN COUNTY
Printed On: 12 October 2026 2027 Summit Endowment Level I - Cycle A 11
How will you obtain the rest of the funds needed to implement this
program/project?
If this grant will fully fund this program/project, then you can leave it blank.
The program’s operating budget does not fully support the total cost of services. To secure remaining funds,
we will pursue several options. These include evaluating the flexibility within our Human Services Block
Grant, evaluating reserve balances and long-term need, and if necessary, requesting supplemental support
from the County General Funds. Use of reserves will be approached with caution to ensure long-term fiscal
stability.
How will you sustain your program/project after this grant funding ends?*
Ex. work it into the yearly budget, receive funding from another source, or N/A because this is a one time
project/program
Because the services provided through this program are mandated, the County is committed to sustaining
them beyond the grant period. We will continue to explore strategies outlined above. These approaches will
help us integrate the program’s costs into our long-term budgeting process and maintain continuity of
services.
