Atascosa County approves $15,000 donation to Meals on Wheels for FY2026

Atascosa County Commissioners Court voted Nov. 10, 2025, to certify a $15,000 donation from the county’s FY2026 budget to Meals on Wheels for home-delivered meals in Atascosa County under the Texas Department of Agriculture 'Feeding Texans' program. The court statement noted that the donation will be used to provide meals to homebound, elderly and disabled residents during fiscal year 2026.

Commissioner Gillespie moved for approval and Commissioner Bowen seconded; the motion carried. Court minutes record this as a formal resolution approving the county’s donation and authorizing the county judge to sign the certification paperwork. The resolution was presented as part of the county’s efforts to participate in the state home-delivered meal program; the transcript did not specify whether the county donation leverages additional state funds or how the Meals on Wheels provider will allocate the funds within Atascosa County.
