BACKGROUND:
Union County has been selected to receive funding through Target’s Target Circle Community Giving program, in which Target Circle members vote and direct funds toward programs in their communities. Once each voting period concludes, Target allocates grants based on the percentage of votes each organization receives.
Union County’s Senior Nutrition Program has been designated to receive $3,525.39 in unrestricted funding through this initiative. These funds will be used to support general program operations and enhance services for older adults across Union County. The funding will be used for program needs such as shelf-stable meals, computer equipment for staff, or craft and activity supplies for congregate meal site participants.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$3,525.39 will be awarded with no required match.
