It’s nice to have some good news. IMPACT 100 has brought life and attention to local groups, which makes their donation twice as nice. Wonderful!
Thank you for publishing this! This is a great organization.
Bravo! This is an example of what can be accomplished by ordinary citizens without government involvement.
