Community Investment & Mayoral Proclamation at City Hall
📣 Big News from the East End!
We’re proud to announce that the City of Houston will recognize June 24th as "Community Investment Day” 🎉
This date honors the groundbreaking work of Magnolia Fund HTX - the first community investment fund created to allow local residents, business owners, and those who love the East End to invest directly in their own economic future
A truly special date, June 24th is also the birthday of our beloved co-founder emeritus, Marcelo “Ox” Garcia III, whose vision and belief in community power helped launch the Fund — and who led the way by becoming its very first investor. 💪🏽❤️
Together, we've turned a bold idea into reality: a community-owned commercial kitchen that supports local food entrepreneurs and builds wealth right here at home.
This is what people-powered economic development looks like. 🌱
