Authorizing a subgrantee agreement with the State of Missouri Department of Economic Development - Missouri Community Service Commission, d/b/a ServMO, associated with the 2026 MLK Day of Service program.

The City Council is considering authorizing a subgrantee agreement with the State of Missouri Department of Economic Development (d/b/a ServMO) for the 2026 MLK Day of Service program. This grant, totaling $970, will support the "Care Cupboards" project, which distributes menstrual hygiene items. The funds will be used to purchase products that will be packed during a service event on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 19, 2026. The project period is from January 1, 2026, to January 31, 2026. No matching funds are required from the City. This initiative aims to engage volunteers in service activities honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy.
