Select Board approves social-services committee funding for local nonprofits
Summary
The Select Board unanimously accepted the social services committee’s recommended allocations to local nonprofits, with line-item amounts read into the record; the meeting transcript records an unclear total figure for the packet.
The Town of Buckfield Select Board on May 5 voted to accept the social services committee’s recommended allocations to local nonprofit providers.
A board member read the recommended line items into the record: $250 to Helping Hearts; $655 to Community Concepts; $500 to Seniors Plus; $100 to Haley’s Hugs; $175 to the Cancer Resource Center; $655 to RCAM; $496 to Lifellight; $100 to Main Public; $250 to Safe Voices; and $69 to KBC Behavioral Health. The board described this as an annual line item in the town budget intended to provide modest reciprocal support to organizations serving Buckfield residents.
The meeting transcript records a total figure that is unclear in the live discussion (rendered in the transcript as “3,00 250”); the precise combined total was not specified during the verbal readout. The motion to accept the social services committee recommendations was moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
