Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to ratify the submission of a H-E-B My Community Investment Application for the Webb County Community Action Agency-Meals on Wheels Program in the amount of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00). This grant does NOT require a County Match. However, a County Match of $25,000.00 is requested to maximize the benefit to Webb County's vulnerable population. All required documentation has been submitted for review to the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. No impact to the General Fund. [Requested by James Flores, CAA Executive Director; Fund #2470-7410]

Issue: CAA Meals on Wheels is a grant funded agency. H-E-B identified the Webb County Community Action Agency as a possible recipient for additional funding to purchase items needed during COVID-19 pandemic.

Solution: This grant will allow us to deliver up to 8,400 shelf stable ready meals and other essentials to elderly; health compromised and handicapped/disabled residents of Webb County, Texas.

Result: If approved, funding would allow Meals on Wheels Program to expand home delivery meal services and provide one week's worth per household to eligible participants of shelf stable ready meals as well as daily essentials to the most vulnerable population during COVID-19 pandemic.
