Staff recommends that the City Council approve the "Spark Good" grant, funded by Walmart, in the amount of $3,000.00 to revenue account 100-110-51657; and 
Appropriation of $3,000.00 from revenue account 100-110-51657 to expense account 100-2101-206-0-0-44934 for the Hawthorne Police Department's Community Affairs Programs.

The Hawthorne Police Department and Walmart, located in the City of Hawthorne, have a strong relationship and partnership in the City. The local Walmart requested a grant, "Spark Good", from their corporate office, on behalf of the Hawthorne Police Department. The Walmart grant is committed to small actions that can lead to big impacts. The "Spark Good" grant is a force multiplier. Walmart's "Spark Good" brings together all of the Walmart and Sam's Club community giving programs under one brand, and puts customers and associates in the driver's seat, making it easier to give to the causes they care most about. "Spark Good" includes programs like local grants, round up, registry, space tool and associate giving and volunteerism. The grant in the amount of $3,000.00 will be used to help support the Hawthorne Police Department Community Affairs Unit's "Hot Cocoa Celebration" at City Hall, and the "Hawthorne Good Neighbor Games"
