Nonprofits $10,000 request to feed 67 kids tabled after council discussion
Summary
Blessings in a Backpack asked Floyd County for $10,000 to feed 67 children as part of a $332,500 school-year need; Council moved to table the request for later consideration after the presentation and video.
Representatives from Blessings in a Backpack asked Floyd County Council for a $10,000 contribution that the organization said would feed 67 local children; the program told the Council it needs $332,500 for the coming school year and reported it fed 18,147 kids last year.
Allison Pruitt said "30% of New Albany Floyd County kids come from food insecure homes" and presented program details and a short video. After discussion the Council moved to table the request (motion by Tony Toran; second by Brad Striegel) so members could consider it with other budget priorities. The motion to table passed unanimously.
