The first step to making change in your community is recognizing there is a change which needs to be made. It can be easy to fall into the same routine, day in and day out. Through awareness and education, we bring hope is to key Impact Areas, areas focused on meeting the unmet needs, physically or spiritually, of a specific demographic within your community.
