Amata Welcomes Grant for Pacific Horizons

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata is welcoming a recent notice of a grant of $56,250 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to the Pacific Horizons School. The funds from the USDA Rural Development program are for transportation of healthy hot meals for the school, along with supplies and shuttling as needed, to provide a cost-savings and support student health and safety.

“Congratulations to Pacific Horizons School, home of the Navigators!” said Congresswoman Amata. “Thank you to school leadership, especially Caroline Tuiolosega, for this great job in applying and qualifying for these funds on behalf of the students. I know this practical assistance will make a difference in the services you provide. Thank you always to all our dedicated educators as they develop our future leaders.”

Congress funds USDA yearly through the appropriations process and authorizes USDA efforts through the Farm Bill, recently extended by Congress for another year.
