Historic Dunbar Community Center has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Union Pacific Foundation’s Community Ties Giving program.
The Union Pacific Foundation’s Community Ties Giving program aims to provide funding for local projects and initiatives that contribute to the betterment of communities. The grant award will be specifically used for purchasing and installing a screen and projector for the Historic Dunbar Community Center.
This will contribute to the ongoing renovation phases aimed at creating a more inclusive and modern community space that will provide a wide range of recreational and educational opportunities for residents.
“We are thrilled to receive this grant from the Union Pacific Foundation’s Community Ties Giving program,” said James Arbertha, at Historic Dunbar Community Center. “With this funding, we will be able to make a significant impact by serving approximately 400 children and youth in the area. We will provide them with educational and after-school programs, movie screenings, and a vibrant community space that fosters growth and development.”
The grant reflects the Union Pacific Foundation’s commitment to supporting community spaces and improving the quality of life for individuals across its footprint. By partnering with local organizations like Historic Dunbar Community Center, the foundation aims to make a positive and lasting impact on communities.
