IMPACT Silver Spring Moves to New Office in Long Branch!

We are pleased to announce that IMPACT's new office is now open! The office is in the heart of the bustling Long Branch community at 8545 Piney Branch Road, Silver Spring

IMPACT Executive Director Ronnie Galvin says of the move:  "We are thrilled to be back in Long Branch, especially given the investment of staff and other resources we have committed to our economic empowerment and self-sufficiency work in the area.  We expect that what we do here in Long Branch will become the grounding and the model that we use across the county in other communities that are important to us as we pursue the big vision of a thriving multicultural community."

The new office offers program space for community gatherings and is conveniently located near one of IMPACT's partners in the Neighborhood Opportunity Network, the Takoma Park/East Silver Spring Center. 

We hope that in the new year many of you will come and visit us in our new home. 

We would also like to say a big THANK YOU to our friends at A Wider Circle for providing us with temporary office space for the past several months.  We appreciate your amazing generosity!

Holiday Shoppers Flock to New Flower Avenue Market in Long Branch

For the past three Saturdays, local craft, antique, and food vendors from greater Silver Spring and Long Branch offered their goods at the Flower Avenue Holiday Market at the corner of Flower Avenue and Arliss Avenue in Long Branch. Local entrepreneurs Chris Lancette and Wo-nok Kim started the market as a venue for their upscale antique and flea business called Orion's Attic.

Entrepreneurs from IMPACT's Family Asset Building Network in Long Branch are using the market to generate income and develop their home-based businesses. The Sewing Circle is producing and selling beautiful, hand-made grocery bags to take advantage of demand created by the new tax on plastic bags in Montgomery County (email sebastian@impactsilverspring if you are interested in a bag!).

The Holiday Market will be open for the next two Saturdays, December 17th and 24th from 9am to 4pm. For a map of the market's location, click here.
