Piedmont College Wins 30 in 30

Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville has been awarded a $500 30 in 30 grant in the Community Beautification Category. Our Thirty Grants in 30 Days program focuses greater resources and attention on organizations and individual localities throughout the Commonwealth and how they are addressing the issues of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and education.

We provided the opportunity for government, non-profit and/or service organizations in Virginia to apply for one of our 30 in 30 grants of $500 to $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Lowe’s Charitable & Educational Foundation and MeadWestvaco.

Piedmont Virginia Community College already practices sustainable organic farming in their edible gardens, and they give back to their local food bank. This is an organization we are proud to support. Not only do they practice “green” growing but they support and nourish their community. We are thrilled to help Piedmont Virginia Community College to grow their community garden and invest in the vibrant community they are creating.
