[Guest guest]

Folks,

I thought the following grant opportunity from the USDA for

emergency services might be of interest to some of you. I don’t know anything

about this program other than this announcement.

occurred. $16,000,000 has been appropriated for these emergency grants

and the deadline for applications is 5 p.m.,
