Submitted for:	Maria Silva	Submitted By:	Maria Silva
Department:	Community Action Agency

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize Community Action Agency to develop and submit an application to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for emergency food in the amount of $10,000.00 from Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) 2023 Phase 40 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. There is no County Match and will not have impact on the County’s General Fund.

Issue: There is a greater demand for food assistance in the area of Webb County than there is funding.

Solution: By applying to the Emergency Food Grant provided by Emergency Food and Shelter Program, Webb County Community Action agency seeks to address the hunger needs of the community using partnership method with the local food banks.

Result: If awarded the grant, Webb County Community Action Agency will be able to assist eligible household with emergency meals.
