Sometimes participating in change doesn’t come from reinventing the wheel. Many times it comes from supporting small efforts already happening within your community. Far too often, we find that great work is being done right under our noses, and it’s nearly impossible to find these”best-kept-secrets” in your community.
We’ve compiled groups and projects taking the “next step” and doing meaningful work to better the greater Stark County community. We hope you will take the time to visit them and support their work
