Summary

Everyday Goods, a local 501(c)(3), asked the Demorest City Council for a lease of two closet spaces in the City Hall cafeteria to restart its Food4Kids feeding initiative; no lease document was presented and city staff will draft an agreement.

A local nonprofit asked the Demorest City Council on Feb. 4 for use of two closet spaces in the City Hall cafeteria to support Food4Kids, a program aimed at feeding students identified as food insecure in Habersham County.

City Manager Mark Musselwhite described Everyday Goods’ request and said no formal lease had been presented. The council instructed Musselwhite and City Attorney Thomas Mitchell to draft a lease for the proposed spaces.

The council did not take a final vote or set rental terms at the work session; members agreed to move forward with preparing an agreement so the request can be considered at a future meeting.

The request was framed as a local, school-focused food-security initiative; the transcript did not specify whether ongoing operating funds or oversight arrangements were in place.
