Holden Murray advised that he and Mayor Grogan have joined the Mayor’s Alliance to end Childhood Hunger. Mayor Grogan is the 39th mayor of all 50 states to join this alliance. The alliance fights to end childhood hunger because as the children return to school, sometimes the school provides the only meal they have. They will be working on trying to end childhood hunger in Patterson, so in the next few weeks, they will be working to give a back-to-school food box that will have a variety of food items like breakfast food, after-school snacks, chips, and other food items to help parents defray the cost because of the cost to get these children ready for school. If you are a City of Patterson resident with children, you will be entitled to a food box. You will need to register and provide information; limited boxes will exist. The city will be looking for sponsors, and this will be once a month. Grants from the National League of Cities will cover the funds for this alliance.
With no further business before the Mayor and Council, Councilmember Mamie Perry motioned to adjourn, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Lee Condolle. The Council unanimously agreed. Councilmembers DeMale Bowden, Jr., Mamie Perry, Miranda Weinbach, and Mayor Pro Tem Lee Condolle voted yes. Councilmember Ray Dewey was absent.
