“As we officially launch Smile Mobility, we want to look back at the incredible support that got us here. Bringing reliable, accessible medical and recreational transit to Hastings County was a massive vision, and we quite literally couldn’t have done it without the team at Community Futures. A very special, heartfelt thank you goes out to Carolyn Barker Brown. From the early planning stages to navigating the logistics of getting our specialized, high-roof vehicle ready for the road, Carolyn has been our champion every step of the way. Her dedication, guidance, and belief in our mission to improve the quality of life for rural residents have been invaluable. Partnerships like this are what make our community so strong. Thank you, Community Futures, and thank you, Carolyn, for helping us get ready to bring more freedom, independence, and smiles to Hastings County!”

“Community Futures has been an excellent financial partner for our local business in Bancroft. The approval process and communication from the team there has been exceptional. I see this financial program from our federal government as one of the best uses of taxpayer dollars.”
