BOSTON Sen. Walter F. Timilty, D-Milton, recently filed amendments this week to the fiscal year 2022 Senate Ways and Means Budget Recommendations.
The amendments will support substance use prevention efforts, public safety improvements, and food pantry aid in the town of Sharon.
Timilty is advocating for a $350,000 allocation to be distributed equally among 14 local food pantries in the Norfolk, Bristol and Plymouth District. Specifically, an equal portion of this funding, if voted favorably, will be distributed locally to the Community Food Pantry at the First Congregational Church of Sharon.
“We have seen that during this COVID-19 pandemic, constituents have struggled with food insecurity,” said Timilty. “Funding these valuable community resources is critical, right now.”
