An unidentified board member told the Patrick County board that the county food bank is "in dire stretch right now" and operating "literally donation to donation," and moved that the county release all previously promised funds and provide an emergency donation of $30,000 from ARPA funds.

The motion—moved by an unidentified speaker and seconded by another board member—was discussed briefly. Board members asked staff about available balances; one exchange referenced roughly $16,000 remaining in a fund mentioned earlier in the meeting, but speakers did not confirm whether that $16,000 or other specific balances would cover the release. The board then voted unanimously to release the previously promised funds and to approve the $30,000 emergency donation.

The transcript does not specify the dollar amount of the previously promised funds to be released, nor does it identify the precise ARPA account balance. Board members named in the discussion include Mister Marshall, Mister Kendrick, Mister Perry and Mister Overby; Michael McGinnis was asked in the discussion about available money, but a complete accounting of funding sources was not provided in the transcript.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to adjourn and a scheduling note setting the next meeting for January 12. The transcript does not provide the calendar date of this session.
