Moolenaar Welcomes Grant for Mid-Michigan Head Start Program

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced Mid Michigan Community Action Agency in Farwell has been awarded a new grant of $2,691,521 to support its Head Start program.

'The early childhood programs provided by MMCAA support the needs of children and families in our communities,' said Congressman John Moolenaar. 'I know the staff in Farwell works hard to provide the children in its care with a safe learning environment and this grant will help MMCAA continue to provide those essential resources for years to come. I have advocated for Head Start funding in Congress because I know it helps residents in mid and northern Michigan and I will continue to work across the aisle to support this important program.'

Congressman Moolenaar is Michigan's senior member of House Appropriations Committee, and sits on the subcommittee with oversight of HHS and its programs. He has been a long-time supporter of Head Start funding and has successfully advocated for it in Congress to support those programs in the Fourth District.

More details about the grants are attached to this press release.
