HONORING A LEGACY OF LOVE & SERVICE
Our Story
B H Impact was born out of a deep desire to honor the legacy of our grandmother, Barbara Holmes, a true pillar of her community who dedicated over 50 years of her life to serving others. From an early age, we witnessed her unwavering commitment to uplifting families, empowering individuals, and fostering meaningful change. Whether it was organizing resources for those in need, mentoring young minds, or simply offering a listening ear, her actions were a testament to the power of compassion and perseverance. Inspired by her selflessness and the impact she created, we founded B H Impact to continue her work and ensure her vision lives on. With every initiative, we strive to reflect her values and extend her legacy, making a difference in the lives of others just as she did for decades.
