provide TO.... Is it possible?
The dictionary gives 2 options how to use "provide"
1. to provide somebody WITH something
2. to provide something FOR somebody
Is it possible so say
"to provide something TO somebody"
or may be it has become possible in spoken language but cannot be used in written....
Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. No one can stop you from using "provide to". :)
-The Merriam Webster doesn't mention the use of "provide to".
-The OED mentions it but says that its usage is obsolete.
-The Macmillan Dictionary approves the use of "provide to".
