Local nonprofit asks Dickinson board for $3,000 to fund annual Thanksgiving dinner
Summary
DCPAAA told the board last year’s Thanksgiving dinner cost $2,061.75 and requested $3,000 for the coming year because prices have risen; the group will provide receipts and agreed to consider local vendors once they open.
Representatives of DCPAAA presented a brief budget and asked the board for a $3,000 allocation to support the group’s annual Thanksgiving dinner.
The presenter said last year’s costs came to $2,061.75 (not including coolers) and explained the request for $3,000 is to cover rising prices. The group offered receipts and said they would provide documentation on expenditures. Board members asked whether the group had considered shopping locally; DCPAAA said it had received the best price from a vendor in Alvin but agreed to check prices with the soon‑to‑open Ziegler’s.
Board members said the request aligns with community development objectives; the group agreed to submit receipts and follow up with a formal application if needed.
