To the Honorable City Council:

I respectfully request that your Honorable City Council accept a grant of $46,800 from MAPC to the Health and Human Services Department, under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A. This grant does not require the commitment of new matching funds. The purpose of this grant is to pay for taxi and other transit modes for residents who need transportation assistance to reduce barriers to food access due to Covid 19.
