LA PLATA, Md. — The Charles County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 6 p.m. to discuss revisions to the use of funds from the Maryland Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The county commissioners have determined the need to adjust the approved use of previously awarded grant funds, originally designated for COVID-19 rental assistance. The proposed revision would allocate $315,000 toward a food program supporting Meals on Wheels, addressing the needs of vulnerable community members.
Home-Delivered Meals: Meals on Wheels for Eligible Seniors
