Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson to Join Banks to Announce $17K Grant


U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-TX, will join TBK Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) to announce $17,000 in Partnership Grant Program (PGP (News - Alert)) funds for 2ndSaturday Community Development Corporation (2ndSaturday), which provides home repairs for low-income and special-needs seniors in west and south Dallas and job placement resources for men transitioning to society after incarceration. The grant will offset operational costs associated with renovations to its headquarters and offices and to purchase tools and equipment for its services.

The media is encouraged to join local dignitaries and bank representatives at a check presentation at 10:00 a.m. Monday, August 26, 2019 at 2ndSaturday's offices at 2428 Pine Street in Dallas.

The structure of the PGP enables FHLB Dallas member institutions, like TBK Bank, to contribute $500 to $4,000 to a community-based organization (CBO), which FHLB Dallas matches at a 3:1 ratio.
