POET Bioprocessing – Cloverdale gives $5,500 to two local organizations. The funds were donated through POET’s 2024 Community Impact Grant Program, which awards grants to a variety of causes throughout the more than 30 communities in which the company operates.
The Area 30 Career Center received a $3,000 grant to upgrade equipment and technology, expand learning resources, update the curriculum, and cover the cost of participation in competitions and events.
Greencastle Middle School was awarded a $2,500 grant to repair their outdoor garden and purchase soil, seeds, and gardening tools for students. The funds will be used towards sustaining the garden and providing more opportunities and spaces for students to work in it.
