The Child Protection Center received the “Community Hero” award from 1 Community 1 Team in partnership with Sarasota Ford. The award was given for Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
The 1 Community 1 Team outreach project, funded by Sarasota Ford, partners with Sarasota organizations in order to bring awareness “by spotlighting the stories of amazing people, their hard work, and the impact and sacrifices they make every day,” said Sally Ratner, the 1 Community 1 Team Outreach Liaison.
“Through ‘The Hero of the Month’ program, our production team honors nonprofits, community driven organizations and local individuals, Ratner said. Our mission is to recognize these heroes that go above and beyond by selflessly giving back and inspiring others to also make a difference through positive change.”

At the end of a long week, Meta Ellis had a few minutes to recline into a chartreuse couch in downtown Montgomery’s Bayard Rustin Community Center and Thrift Store.
Ellis, director of Montgomery Pride United and co-founder of the center, had just wrapped up discussions on distributing a settlement reward from the city to homeless plaintiffs over a punitive 2019 panhandling law. Stacks of home goods surrounded the couch, awaiting sorting for an upcoming silent auction to benefit the center even as more donations were dropped at the front door by the hour. Her phone trilled on and off from LGBTQ liaisons around the city.
