To the Honorable Board:

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.  Support of promotional and outreach activities at these providers’ offices, purchase additional produce to support an increased patronage, and small improvements to the mobile market.

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
