DATE: May 19, 1994 County
SUBJECT: Approve. Submission of Funding Application #28-554 to the Koret
Foundation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of Funding Application #28-554 to the Koret
Foundation, in the amount of $49, 146, for the period from July 1, 1994
through June 30, 1996, for the Policy Initiative to Reduce Hunger
Project.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this application will result in $49, 146 from the Koret
Foundation for the Policy Initiative to Reduce Hunger Project. No
County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The 1993 report Hunger in the Midst of Affluence documented the
increased rate of poverty in Contra Costa County and the greater
reliance on emergency food and nutrition programs. The Policy
Initiative to Reduce Hunger Project would enable the Department's
Prevention Program staff, in conjunction with the Contra Costa County
Hunger Task Force, to coordinate policy efforts with the County,
municipalities and school districts to increase efforts to
institutionalize available federal food programs. In addition, the
Department and the Task Force would work together to influence federal
and state policies and programs which provide access to nutritious
food and support food programs for low income individuals.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has been
forwarded to the Koret Foundation, but subject to Board approval.
Three certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing
submission of the application should be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Unit.
