ECEIVED bEC 2 I9.q3 ........... December 27, 1993 Ms. Sylvia Frolik City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Ms. Frolik: CEAP submits the following grant for your consideration as a request for the 1994 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds available in the amount of $2,000 dollars. With the additional funds we will be able to continue serving families and meet the rising demands. We feel CEAP and the City of Ramsey !share a common goal to serve the people of the community. Helping families to self-sufficiency is an extensive task and requires ~tense staff and volunteer time. It is obvious that to undertake :such a wide ranging project we need the connmunities financial iresources to help insure success in meeting the needs of the people in the community. Self-sufficiency needs are intricately/connected to the inability to live i~dependently of emergency services. Emergency financial assistance is frequently associated with longer term problems. !ntek-vention Services are the preventative bulwark of hunger and homelessness. To achieve, adequate ability to escape from poverty, self-sufficiency goals must be addressed. The services that we provide are of great value to those who need them. In:order to help the families we serve and strengthen the community, we want to proactively respond to the needs before they assu~e critical proportions. We sincerely hope that the City of Ramsey will join with CEAP in the continuing fight to help those less fortunate in the community. The joining of our resources will make the community stronger and more effective in meeting the needs of the people we serve. Best. rega~,s.
