Fueling community works
by Bruce Felps
Annemarie Marek and her colleagues at Shared FUEL — Focus on Urban Environmental Leadership — along with Elizabeth Dry, executive director of Promise of Peace Community Garden, earlier this week received 25,000 reasons to celebrate.
Shared FUEL won a $25,000 grant from the Hoblitzelle Foundation, and the East Dallas nonprofit group — that aims to foster sustainable environmental change — plans to help PoP develop a bilingual gardening education program.
More to come in the next few days after I schedule chats with Marek, Dry, and Sharon Tucker, Shared FUEL’s program manager for the POP project, but this is the type of community progress that bears mention.
