Your Vote Here Could Help Your Neighbors

You can help two wonderful organizations in Troy this week by casting a vote for each of them in Chase Bank’s Chase Community Giving Campaign, which runs through July 12th. Thousands of charitable organizations have been nominated for a minimum of $20,000 in grant funding with the top vote getter nationwide recieving a $250,000 grant.  In order to be considered a charity had to be nominated by a supporter. You only have to vote once and you can select up to 20 different charities to support. Included among the thousands are two of Troy NY’s own - CAC Woodside and Capital District Community Gardens.

CAC Woodside, a recipient of a $50,000 Refresh Everything Grant in May of this year, hopes to use the additional $20,000 grant towards completing the on-going renovations to the old Woodside Presbyterian Church. Please take a moment to visit Chase Community Giving-CAC Woodside and vote.

Capital District Community Gardens was also entered into the Chase program by one of their supporters. $20,000 will help CDCG continue offering programs like Squash Hunger and The Veggie Mobile. Please take a moment to visit Chase Community Giving-CDCG.
