Stone County Receives Federal Food/Shelter Funds

July 11, 2019


Stone County has been awarded federal funds, made available through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/federal Emergency Management Agency, under the emergency food and shelter national board program.


Stone County has been chosen to receive $15,000.00 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army; and, United Way Worldwide. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.


A Local Board made up of the Stone County Commissioner, United Way, Salvation Army, OACAC Stone County, Stone County Health Dept., Central Community United Methodist Church and North Stone Food Pantry, will determine how the funds awarded to Stone County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program.


Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.


Stone County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with United Way participating. These agencies were responsible for providing rent, housing, food and lodging for residents of Stone County.


Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Shyra Bilyeu at Stone County OACAC at 15060 State Hwy 13 Branson West 65737 for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is July 11, 2019. Please feel free to call the Stone County OACAC Supervisor at (417) 739-1130.
