At tomorrow’s regular 10 a.m. meeting of county supervisors in San Bernardino, one item is expected to serve up a big win for those in the Morongo Basin who are food insecure or need meal assistance. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tells us what is on the menu…
Supervisors are expected to adopt consent calendar item 20. That action will make available $331,400 to the Hi-Desert Memorial Health Care District to provide access to food to income-eligible, food insecure households through April 2022. The money will be provided from Community Development Block Grant Funds part of the federal CARES Act established in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The Health Care District will use the funds to set up and support a food distribution hub at the old Joshua Tree Elementary School.
