Summary of Projects

Greener Hopkinton received a grant in 2010 to pay the annual fee to Constant Contact to host its e-newsletter, weatherization materials for 12 volunteer home efficiency visits, soil amendments for the community garden and incidental speaker costs for evening speaking events.

The group received a grant in 2009 to continue the work to educate community members on environmental and energy issues and to establish an organic community garden.
