Chris Adams, Appalachian Furnishings
Communities of Healing gave me insight on ways to shift my small business into giving back to the community around me. Connecting with other small business owners has inspired me to try different approaches to make my business successful. I highly recommend collaborating and learning from other small business owners and the guidance given by Communities of Healing.
Toni Robinson, Action Printing and Services
Participating in the Communities of Healing program has empowered me to change the way I think about my nonprofit and the vision and mission I want it to portray. The support and education from Paul, Peni and Tammy has helped me to bring innovative solutions to problems I see in my community.
