Cascade County notes United Way awards for Meals on Wheels and Foster Grandparents
Summary
County staff reported the annual United Way allocation: $25,000 for Meals on Wheels and $8,000 for the Foster Grandparent Program, funded from non-directed United Way donations; staff said both programs were fully funded this year.
County staff presented Contract 25-55 to accept United Way donation awards for two local programs: $25,000 for the Meals on Wheels program and $8,000 for the Foster Grandparent Program, effective July 1, 2025.
The presenter explained these allocations come from United Way funds that are not directed by individual donors (directed donations are excluded and tracked separately). Staff noted the awards fully funded the applicants’ requests this year and that these are recurring allocations made after the United Way award committee meets in May. The presenter also said that if future federal changes force program eliminations, the county would return any unspent money to United Way.
Kim, the staff presenter, answered procedural questions and confirmed the awards were fully funded; commissioners asked no substantive follow-up in the recorded transcript. No formal vote or roll call is recorded in the work session transcript.
