Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of diapering and menstrual products from the Affiliate Agency Partnership with the Texas Diaper Bank to support the needs of the families in our community for a total not to exceed Fifty-eight Thousand Dollars ($58,000.00); and any matters incident thereto. [Diaper Resource Center Program Account #2363-5150-521-461000 (Materials & Supplies)]

Issue: During harsh times, impoverished Webb County families are being left further behind economically as the high cost of diapers exacerbates and worsens the lack of affordable day care in the local community by adding yet another barrier to working families’ ability to climb out of poverty.

Solution: Court authorization for the purchase of diapering and menstrual products through the grant awarded by the Moody Foundation. 

Result: Community Action Agency (CAA) will be able to establish a diaper resource center to provide additional services to the struggling individuals of Webb County.
