Presentation of 2023 Community Grants

20Aug

2023 Grants Presented in Worship

Today in our 11:15 a.m. worship service, four $10,000 grants were awarded to local non-profits. St. David’s grants committee awards these grants with funding provided by sales at our Next-to-New shop. To date, these profits have yielded more than three million dollars in community engagement outreach grants. The congregation gave thanks for the work of these organizations, our Community Grants Committee members, and our Next-to-New volunteers.
