Downe Township was recently named as one of five South Jersey communities that will receive a $100,000 grant, which will be used to help uplift the town’s heart and soul.
The grant will be awarded to the township, located in Cumberland County, by the Transform South Jersey Heart & Soul organization.
According to communityheartandsoul.org, “Community Heart & Soul is a four phase, step-by-step process. Developed and field-tested for more than a decade in partnership with small cities and towns […] [and] has evolved into a proven method for bringing the community together to chart a course forward.”
The Cumberland County township was among 32 towns vying to become a grant recipient and numerous benefits will be received by its residents.
