A McLean County non-profit is hoping to take small interactions and turn those into big impacts.

"Small is big" is the motto of the Neighborhood Care Center - which just recently opened its doors at a new location in Heyworth. Mandi Ries is the Communications Director for the Neighborhood Care Center and indicates it is the small interactions that lead to the biggest impacts.

Margaret McLean is a mission partner for the Care Center in Heyworth and feels having a permanent location has made it feel like they are finally home.

According to Ries, the Bible sees many examples of a small gesture or service that has the greatest impact.

For McLean, oftentimes times the best way to show how the motto of "small is big" is simply being there for people consistently, and in turn, that consistency leads to trust and it snowballs to people opening up about their situations.

For Ries and McLean, while the Neighborhood Care Center is rooted in Christianity and its beliefs, they are not forceful about making anyone who comes to them do things they are uncomfortable with. The goal is to simply help people reach their potential and connect with them.
