TESTIMONIALS & PARTNERS
Making An Impact is such a brilliant consolidation of important resources in our community. It’s a game changer when you are able to suggest multiple , quality resources to someone in need. We may not be able to solve every situation, but we are able to use this guide to pass on hope. Our whole team has a copy, and we even give these to our volunteers. The online version is very user-friendly!
Every day our deputies come in contact with people who have needs beyond what we as a law enforcement agency are equipped to handle. It’s great to have the ready reference guide with a list of resource programs and organizations that can provide additional services. It’s our hope that people in our community will find the help they need, and we’ll continue to do what we can to point them in the right direction.
The Making An Impact Community Connections Resource Guide is a phenomenal one-stop-shop guide for the Sarasota and Manatee County communities! Concise, easy to follow, content rich – this guide skillfully serves the gamut from parents, profit and nonprofit businesses…and specifically Human Resource departments!
We have been giving Making An Impact’s resource guides to our clients during their intake appointment at the Shelter, and find this to be a great tool to empower those we serve, to find resources within the community.
The Making An Impact’s Community Connections Resource Guide has been a tremendous help to me and my team with providing up-to-date resources to patients in needs.
