Submitted for:	Mireya Romero	Submitted By:	Mireya Romero
Department:	Community Action Agency

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve to submit an application for the Emergency Food Grant in the amount of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00) from Emergency Food & Shelter Program (EFSP) Phase #40 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) 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 an 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 the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (Phase 40), 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 households with emergency food items.
