end
Summary Background:
Since May of 2020, the City has provided food to families in need during COVID-19. The funding from No Kid Hungry will allow the City to:
1) sustain its regularly occurring community-wide food distribution event;
2) provide daily meals and wraparound support for children and their families during the school year and the summer; and
3) sustain the provision of emergency food and prepared meals to older adults and vulnerable community members.
These services will increase the food security of Hyattsville residents and community members from adjacent municipalities whose children are enrolled in our city’s schools and youth and teen programs.
Next Steps:
Appropriate funding.
Fiscal Impact:
$6,000
City Administrator Comments:
Recommend support.
Community Engagement:

Strategic Goals:
Goal 3 - Promote a Safe and Vibrant Community
