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 -The OED mentions it but says that its usage is obsolete.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". provide [transitive] to give someone something that they want or need Our office can provide information on the local area. A taxi service from the airport will be provided. provide someone with something: The lecture provided him with an opportunity to meet one of his heroes. provide something for someone: The hotel provides a playroom for children. provide something to someone: We provide legal advice and services to our clients.
