It’s important to me to keep my supporters in the loop, so I wanted to share some big updates from last month!
I announced that Mercer University has been awarded $99,994 from the Department of Health and Human Services to improve rural health care services and fight opioid abuse. Rural communities face unique obstacles maintaining facilities and services that provide them with the care they need, and these funds will help ensure that every community has quality health care.
I shared that the Jack Hadley Black History Museum is receiving a $413,425 grant to help the museum expand its programming. Museum grants help these critical institutions thrive, educate more people, attract tourism, and generate economic growth in our communities.
I announced that the U.S Department of Health and Human services has awarded a $4,768,208 Head Start grant to the Middle Georgia Community Action Agency. I will continue fighting in Congress for programs, like Head Start, that support local organizations that improve the lives of Georgia’s families and sets our children up for success.
I shared that the National Park Service is giving a $250,000 grant to the City of Byron and a $50,000 grant to the City of Centerville. This federal funding will go toward recreational facilities, which are good for the health and wellbeing of our communities by creating safe, accessible spaces that bring families together and encourage children to socialize and play with one another.
Congressman Sanford Bishop is serving his sixteenth term in the United States House of Representatives, representing the constituents of the Second Congressional District of Georgia. A consensus builder that works with members on both sides of the aisle, Congressman Bishop is uniquely dedicated to his constituents and has demonstrated himself as a leader inside of Congress.
