I've personally experienced the results of this organization in understanding more about the disadvantaged and disabled populations that are in our Greater Grand Rapids area. Through their service the community is better knowledgeable about the disabled public that work and live in our communities.

Create a stronger advocacy campaign of sending out information to businesses and schools. We as a community need to understand how to more sensitive to our disabled brother and sisters. We see the service, the vans, the offices, but understanding the vast arrary of services offered through Hope Network would be more impactful in our community.

Help more people outside Hope to do more hands on volunteering
Hope Network has provided resources and support for the Developmentally Disabled population for longer than any other local organization. They dignify each and every individual and are respectful and sensitive to the needs of the person, family and the community. It is a true wrap around approach .

I volunteered for Hope Network for the Legacy Event in November 2010. I didn't realize the monumental impact Hope Network has had on the community over the years and continues to have throughout Michigan. It was an amazing event and truly moving to hear about Toby's inspirational journey with the support of Hope Network and see him accept the 2010 Independence Award. Hope Network is a wonderful organization and I will continue to support them in every way possible.

Hearing the story of Toby Janiga and how he was told he will never be able to do anything on his own. With the help of Hope Network, Toby was able to start and maintain his own business.

Hope Network truly makes a difference in thousands of people’s lives every day. They are an organization that is filled with passion and dedication which is so hard to come by.
Hope Network has allowed me to see a different side of wonderful people in our community today. This organization paints a great picture of a perfect community. They take everyone in, help all and open their arms to everyone no matter what their disability or disadvantage may be.
This organization does so much for the state of Michigan, If only everyone in our world had the mentality of those who work at Hope Network our world would be perfect
