On June 4, 170 people attended Fresno DRIVE’s “Weave the People” event – a kickoff for the launch of the Weaver Awards.
Attendees shared how meaningful weaving is for cultivating connections with other community members. “When I hear the word weave, I think of being interconnected,” an event goer said. “We all have some kind of gift to give.”

Fresno DRIVE and CVCF were selected as a Community Host for the Weaver Awards and have the honor of selecting 20 local weavers to receive $2,500 microgrants later this year. Awardees will be selected based on their demonstrated ability to foster community connections through their submitted projects. The Weaver Awards is a national initiative of Weave: The Social Fabric Project at the Aspen Institute, a worldwide convenor of change.
