One of the key approvals was a $32,000 contract with The Arc Inc. to operate a safe haven for high-risk children. This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide essential services to at-risk youth in Evansville, addressing growing concerns about child safety and welfare.
The board also approved several contracts with Carver Community Organization Inc., including a $40,530 agreement for an after-school youth program and a $67,742 contract for a new PM childcare program, which aims to provide care during later evening hours. This is particularly significant as it expands childcare options for working families in the community.
Additionally, the board approved a $50,000 contract for senior services, which reflects an increase from previous years due to the addition of a new position within the program. This move highlights the city’s commitment to supporting its aging population.
Other notable contracts included a $29,700 agreement with Meals on Wheels of Evansville for meal delivery services to homebound individuals, and a $17,400 contract with the Boys and Girls Club of Evansville for the Fulton Square program, which serves youth in the area.
The meeting concluded with the approval of a $12,000 contract with the Community Action Program of Evansville and Vanderburgh County Inc. to operate an emergency needs pantry, which has seen a funding increase to expand its services.
These approvals reflect the city’s ongoing efforts to allocate resources effectively to meet the needs of its residents, particularly those facing economic hardships. As the DMD continues to roll out these programs, the community can expect enhanced support for children, seniors, and families in need.
