Open Arms of Minnesota capital projects appropriation modification

This bill modifies a $500,000 state appropriation for Open Arms of Minnesota to fund capital equipment and building improvements. It directly affects Open Arms of Minnesota, a nonprofit providing medically tailored meals, by authorizing funds for a new kitchen and nutrition counseling center in Minneapolis. The key provision specifies the grant must cover equipment for the kitchen, HVAC upgrades for the counseling center, and is available for expenses after July 1, 2023. The funding aims to expand access to medically tailored meals for Minnesotans with life-threatening illnesses.
