IDignity – Restoring Dignity and Hope
The Collage Companies in honored to support, Central Florida nonprofit, IDignity at our annual Party with a Purpose event on December 5th. Shown here is President and CEO of The Collage Companies, Brian Walsh on a recent tour of the IDignity program with Executive Director of IDignity, Michael Dippy and supporters.
IDignity’s mission is to restore dignity and hope by assisting U.S. citizens and legal residents in regaining proof of their identity. It is estimated that more than 25 million adult U.S. citizens do not possess valid government-issued photo identification. It’s hard to imagine that many people not having identification since for most of us this has never been an issue.
IDignity achieves its mission through collaboration with government agencies, churches, businesses and the community. IDignity compassionately assists the poor and disadvantaged in navigating the inherently complex process of obtaining various forms of legal identification documents, at no cost to our clients. These documents are often required to access education, employment, housing, healthcare, social service benefits and numerous other opportunities.
