On January 4, members of East Dallas Networking (EDN) donated $6,000 to five local nonprofits that are working hard to make East Dallas a better place to live, work and play. Among this year’s recipients are: Well Grounded Coffee Community ($2,000), White Rock Center of Hope ($1,650), For the Love of the Lake ($1,100), the Samuel Allen Pampel Foundation ($750) and Ferguson Road Initiative ($500).
East Dallas Networking is a small business networking group largely comprised of East Dallas business owners, but open to all. EDN began as a group focused solely on business networking but has since expanded in scope to include community advocacy and business education. Since 2008, EDN has donated more than $61,500 to various East Dallas charities. The group meets every Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at JJ’s Café, 10233 E. N.W. Hwy #434 in Dallas. All are welcome to attend the meetings. The only requirement is a $2 donation each week. Sponsorships are available.
