NORWICH — The Impact Project, based in Greene, is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving Chenango County and other surrounding areas by providing assistance for home renovations, financing and construction.
The Impact Project Executive Director James Willard III said, “We recently provided help to Sabra Snow in Norwich and built her handicap ramp. This ramp marks the 4th project for the month, 22nd for the year and the 183rd Impact project since 2004.
“The most projects we’ve ever done in a year is 20, and we still have two more months to go,” he said.
Willard gave thanks to the Snow family for helping on the project. Sabra Snow’s two sons and son-in-law teamed up with The Impact team to build the much needed ramp.
In mid October, The Impact project supported the needs of Norwich’s Clink family and with the help of Blueox they now have a working furnace and fuel. This came after months of no heat or fuel in their home he said.
Willard extended a huge thank you to Blueox and team Impact. Nearly 100 likes and loves were shared on the Impact Projects social media page with residence from the community stating how wonderful this is for the family and it was finished just in time for the weather change.
“The Impact Project is coming up on a project number I never thought possible; almost 200,” he said. “It's all because of the people, the contractors, all the volunteers, our staff, it's all the businesses, the banks and the churches.”
The Impact Project has two primary target populations: families at or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines- who can qualify for no-cost repairs and updates. Also families in Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, (A.L.I.C.E.), who reside in Chenango County- can qualify for a loan program through Sidney Federal Credit Union with terms up to $15,000 and a .5 percent interest rate.
Willard said this enables people with little resources to make something obtainable.
Skilled contractors are always at the projects along with volunteers but there must be skilled labor to get the job done and the financial arrangement behind the scenes is different in every case he said.
Willard said they have about 400 contractors they've built arrangements with through the years; from electricians, contractors, masons, roofers, etc. and he said it's a huge component in getting a job done or not.
The Impact Project has had 4193 volunteers in their 18 years of projects and this month they are celebrating their 19th year of community support.
