Committee authorizes WIC book-donation fund to provide two books per child
Summary
Chippewa County approved a special fund to collect donations for books for children in the WIC program (ages 0–5), with a stated goal of two books per year and committee requests for age-appropriate quality control.
The Finance, Claims and Accounts Committee on July 15 approved establishing a special fund to collect donations for books for children enrolled in the county WIC program, which serves ages 0–5. Health Officer Karen Senkus presented the proposal and said the goal is to provide two books per child per year.
Commissioners asked for assurance that donated books would be age-appropriate and of suitable quality. Commissioner Jim Traynor moved to approve creating the fund and Commissioner Jim Martin supported the motion; the committee approved the request by voice vote.
The minutes do not specify a fundraising target or start date; administration and the Health Department will be responsible for implementing the fund and defining donation-acceptance procedures.
