ADJOURNMENT May 10, 2024 Human Services & Housing Funding Board c/o Adam Molzer Social Sustainability Department City of Fort Collins 222 Laporte Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Members of the Board: Thank you so much for recommending that our Fort Collins Kids Cafe proposal receive funding through the Human Services Program. Your support means a great deal to all of us here at the Food Bank for Larimer County and to the Fort Collins families we serve. The young boy who sent the note shown here is just one of many program participants who enjoy healthy afterschool snacks as a result of this program. I am especially happy that he chose to highlight a pear. That feels like a win, since keeping the focus on good nutrition has always been one of my personal goals in the work we do at the Food Bank. City grant funding helps ensure the stability of our Kids Cafe program, so we can continue to provide pears and other snacks to hungry students. This month, we’re also launching our summer program, which provides hundreds of lunches each day to children who might not otherwise have a healthy lunch when school is out for the season. Thank you, again, for everything that all of you do to help support the work of the Food Bank for Larimer County and other community nonprofits. Sincerely, Amy Pezzani Chief Executive Officer FoodBankLarimer.org Human Services & Housing Funding Board SPECIAL MEETING DRAFT May 1, 2024 at 4:00 PM 222 Laporte Ave, Fort Collins – Colorado River Room Additional viewing option via Zoom 5 /1 /2024 – MINUTES Page 1 1.
