Texas Health Community Hope Awards Grants

2026-10-23

On Friday, October 23rd, Board Members Laura Margadonna and Martha Grizzel attended a networking lunch hosted by Texas Health Community Hope at the Metrocrest Services facility. It was a great opportunity to connect with other gardens and non-profits across the region, from Erath to Kaufman Counties, and hear project updates from five 2025 grant recipients. Casen McMahan, Director of Food and Health, Metrocrest Services, applied for a grant for The Giving Garden, the Coppell Community Gardens, and the Metrocrest Services Teaching Garden, which was awarded. Laura and Martha will be working with Casen over the next six months to coordinate the projects involved in spending these funds. Another win for the garden and a benefit from us working with and supporting Metrocrest Services with our donations of fresh organic produce.
