THE EXTRA IMPACT PROJECT

A Little EXTRA That Stays.

What starts with colorful socks can help create something lasting. Through the EXTRA Impact Project, we’re raising support for proposed communication boards at local parks and the library, plus seed funding for community accessibility mini-grants.

Communication boards use pictures, symbols, and words to help people express themselves by pointing.

Canal Winchester, Let’s Show the World What a Little EXTRA Can Do!

On March 21, we have an opportunity to do something special together. Every business that joins, every classroom that celebrates, every church that welcomes, and every family that participates helps build a community where everyone belongs.

You are valued. You belong here. We celebrate you.
