CONNECTING SUMMIT RESIDENTS<br />
TO VITAL RESOURCES<br />
The Summit Foundation recently partnered with donor Paul Finkel and several<br />
local organizations to launch One Degree Summit County, an online community<br />
resource platform that offers an innovative and dynamic directory of support<br />
services — from childcare to mental health support to housing assistance.<br />
“We couldn’t be more enthusiastic about the roll out of One Degree to the<br />
Summit County community,” says Tara Dew, program manager of The Summit<br />
Foundation. “The community has needed a central place to access services for<br />
a long time, but it became critical during the pandemic when needs spiked and<br />
in-person meetings with local navigators shut down overnight. Moving forward,<br />
we see it becoming an essential tool for our residents.”<br />
“With so many seasonal workers and new residents in our community, it<br />
became critical to establish a ‘one-stop shop’ like One Degree,” says Nissa<br />
Erickson, Family & Intercultural Resource Center Director of Development.<br />
“There are just so many resources that both longtime residents and those new<br />
to the community don’t know about. Seeking help should not be overwhelming.<br />
Our partnership with One Degree will make finding support easily accessible.”<br />
“This will be an essential service for local organizations, too, and inspire more<br />
community collaboration,” adds Tara. One Degree will make it easier for local<br />
nonprofits to connect with community members seeking out their services, and<br />
will facilitate warm handoffs to local partners.<br />
