Countywide : Grants for Meals, Library Programs
The County Board of Supervisors has approved grants of $1,000 for a La Palma senior citizen meals program and a Placentia library program.
La Palma Intercommunity Hospital will use its grant to pay for its meals-on-wheels program, which delivers hot meals to senior citizens. The money will cover the cost of feeding seniors who cannot pay for the service themselves.
The Friends of the Placentia Library will use the money to buy books for the Placentia Library District.
On Tuesday, the board unanimously approved both Community Social Programs grants. The county gives about 50 such grants to nonprofit groups each year.
The grants range from $500 to $5,000 and benefit programs such as community centers, homeless shelters, school district social programs, senior citizen centers and day-care centers.
