I respectfully request your acceptance of a Grant from Project Bread in the amount of $5,000. These funds will be used to support ongoing partnerships with local health care providers who serve Somerville’s low-income residents.

In accordance with M.G.L., Chapter 44, Section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Alderman for the expenditure of grants, or gifts from the federal government and from charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual, or from the Commonwealth, a County or Municipality or agency thereof, I request that you accept this grant for final approval.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
