Discussion and possible action to authorize Community Action Agency to develop and submit an application for the Emergency Food Grant in the amount of $5,000.00 from Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) 2022 Phase 39 and authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures.
