Council approves $6,000 for All About Kids backpack program
Summary
Council awarded $6,000 from community development funds to All About Kids; program organizer Karen Lang said the program will provide about 725 backpacks at roughly $135 each this year.
Karen Lang told the Dalhart City Council on Feb. 23 that the All About Kids backpack program has expanded to serve about 725 children this year and that materials cost roughly $135 per backpack.
"We're making about 725 backpacks this year... it costs us about a $135 per backpack," Karen Lang said, describing volunteer support from local churches and the program’s 18-year history. Council members described the funding as an effective use of community development dollars and moved to donate $6,000; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Council members noted that small allocations from utility bills and community development funds can have a large local impact. The $6,000 allocation was approved during the regular agenda; Lang thanked the council for the support.
