Paulding Eagles and Hawg’s Tavern hosted the 2025 Paulding Block Party, “The Bars Give Back,“ on 20 September. The event with food, Chinese Auction, raffle, live music and pool tournament raised more than $2,700 for Caring & Sharing Food Pantry. Thanks to the organizers, the donors and all who participated. The Paulding County Dog Kennel was a recipient of a generous donation from this event, too.
Recently, the Paulding Fraternal Order of the Eagle supported the Paulding Agricultural Education Program through a grant to purchase new workbenches for the agricultural shop area and also to purchase a medium-sized drone for the new capstone class focusing on drones. The workbenches in the agricultural shop were over 25 years old. The benches were worn and falling apart, making it hard for students to have adequate workspace. There are over 130 students involved in the Ag Education program at Paulding who are out in the shop area working on a variety of different projects throughout each school year. The grant funds made it possible to replace four workbench tops, providing students with a safe area to work on their projects.
