💙 Thank You, Edinboro! 💙

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Edinboro Community and Economic Development, thank you to everyone who supported our Erie Gives Day campaign.

Your generosity, encouragement, and community spirit remind us just how much people care about the future of downtown Edinboro.

Because of your support, we're one step closer to purchasing a trailer and watering system that will help our volunteers care for the flowers that make our downtown such a welcoming place.

Whether you donated, shared our posts, or encouraged others to give, thank you for being part of this effort. Every contribution makes a difference, and together we're investing in a downtown our entire community can be proud of.

A special thank you to the Erie Community Foundation and partners for making Erie Gives Day possible and for amplifying the impact of every gift.

We look forward to sharing updates as this project moves ahead. Thank you for helping downtown Edinboro continue to bloom!

With gratitude,

Rick Larimer
Board Chair

Hello Edinboro Business and Community Members,

The time is approaching where the pots are going to be installed downtown. Donations have started to come in, but we are still shy of our goal to cover the costs of the flowers and minor maintenance costs of them throughout the summer.

If you haven't already done so, please consider a donation to support the downtown flowers. This project is fully donation driven and cannot be achieved without the assistance of the community.

Donations can be made payable to ECED (Edinboro Community Economic Development) and dropped off with:

Pat at the Edinboro Hotel, or
Steve at Andover Bank

I am also still looking for a few volunteers to help with watering. I have all the equipment for it. If you are interested in helping please message me.

Thank you for supporting our downtown — your contribution makes a visible difference

Edinboro Business and Community Members,

It's that time of year to start talking about the flower pots in downtown Edinboro. The pots have been a great success and truly brighten our community as well as adding to the overall feel to downtown during the summer months.

Huge thanks to Julie and Scotland Yards for planting and preparing the flowers every year! Also a huge thank you to those who have donated or volunteered to assist in watering in the past!

If you'd like to help keep downtown beautiful, please consider a donation. We’re seeking $100 donations to sponsor a pole, or flower pot for the year, although any donation is appreciated. Donations cover the cost of the flowers and potting material as well as the maintenance costs for the summer. Let's keep this project going!

Donations can be made payable to ECED (Edinboro Community Economic Development) and dropped off with:

Pat at the Edinboro Hotel Barl, or
Steve at Andover Bank

Thank you for supporting our downtown — your contribution makes a visible difference!
