Other Fund in the amount of $10,000.00, subject to receipt of the grant, for the No Kid Hungry Campaign (City Project No. 105312) of Share Our

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to appropriate grant funds received forthe No Kid Hungry Campaign
(Campaign) of Share Our Strength and the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger.
Since the mid-1980s, the non-profit Share Our Strength (SOS) has been working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and
around the world, launching the "No Kid Hungry Campaign" in 2010.
In 2022, the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger (Alliance) was launched to leverage the insights and connections of local leaders in
coordinating with SOS and the Campaign. Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker was selected to serve as the 2024 Vice -Chair of the Alliance. in
connection with assuming that position, Fort Worth and Mayor Parker were offered a $10,000.00 grant to support the Mayor's capacity and
maximize her impact.
In accordance with the delegated authority under Section 2-9, the grant agreement was executed in late 2023 and the funds were received.
Adoption of this M&C will appropriate those funds so that they may be expended toward the goal of ending childhood hunger in the City of Fort
Worth.
The Mayor's Office has identified Tarrant Area Food Bank (fAFB) as the subrecipient for these grant funds. The selected grantee will utilize the
dollars to advance the goal of eradicating childhood hunger in the City by expanding TAFB's Ready to Leann in -school markets program by
providing refrigeration and program expansion funds to two Ready to Learn markets at elementary schools in Fort Worth.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
