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.
