The Community & Children's Impact Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving the youth of the Cleveland community and surrounding areas an alternative to the dangerous temptations and sometimes addictive behaviors that are so readily accessible to all of us.
This organization came into being because of the inspiration and dedication of one woman, Brenda Myers, a drunk driver, and the Gifts from God that are our Children. We hope you enjoy the story of this woman's vision from God and how it's become a vision for many others.
