Making An Impact’s Resource Guides are a vital tool for individuals and families needing support. They provide information on a range of topics, including housing, healthcare, employment, food, and more. We are honored to play a small part in the distribution of their Spanish-translated guides so that more people have information to find the help they need.” “ We are incredibly grateful to Doers of the Word for their support,” said Victoria Kasdan, Board Chair and co-founder of Making An Impact. “Our guides have been a lifeline for many people in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
