Reported food pantry gifts as connections to care

The reserve paid the Sparta Community Food Pantry 3,000.00 on 12/15/2023, 12/11/2024 and 12/10/2025, each described as municipal alliance assistance. The pantry's all-accounts vendor history from 01/01/2018 shows no other payment. The FY2024 report certifies the first 3,000.00 as Community Food Pantry Support, recipient Sparta Municipal Alliance, primary category Wraparound and Connected Care Supports, Schedule B strategy Connections to Care. The FY2025 report certifies the second 3,000.00 under the same program. The FY2026 report certifies the third 3,000.00 as an update to the same program for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. The checks went to the food pantry, not to the alliance. The report says the Township can include a copy of the county quick guides to a common crisis while supporting the pantry. No record shows the pantry serves people with opioid use disorder or people in recovery.
