To whom it may concern,
We are writing this letter to thank you for your consideration in supporting the Black Voices Project
efforts in providing a Thanksgiving meal for members of the community. This application is a re-
submission of a request that was presented back in August for a Back to School bash. Unfortunately,
that event did not happen and collectively we decided to host a Thanksgiving dinner with the leadership
and excitement of Royceann Porter.
In our efforts to collaborate with other entities in the Iowa City area, including Faith Academy,
Neighborhood Centers and the South District Association we knew we would be serving a larger
population of people than originally planned. Black Voices Project recently re-submitted an application
to be able to provide the food and the above mentioned groups agreed to supply other supplies and
activities for the event. Unbeknownst to BVP they also requested funds from a neighborhood grant
through the City of Iowa City.
Considering that we are separate groups trying to reach a common goal of serving the larger community
we know that the funds requested will be much appreciated. and serve a number of youth and families
in our community. The event is scheduled to take place on Friday November 16th, 6pm to 8pm at Faith
Academy. We hope that you all can attend and we are hopeful that our request for funds will be
honored during your meeting.
Respectfully,
Black Voices Project Committee
Royceann Porter- Chair
