Local Woman’s Life Mission Spreads Aid Around the World
For nearly a half century, Linda Greene has dedicated herself to Christian-based outreach across northwest Ohio and to humanitarian relief efforts around the world.
The 68-year-old president and chief executive officer of Impact With Hope, formerly ISOH/IMPACT, is the founder, leader, and spark plug behind a group best known for its famous “bucket brigade” (bit.ly/2irSbDl).

The group — which has origins dating to 1958 — has specialized in rapid response to hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other disasters with pre-packed buckets of donated canned goods, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and other items. Aid has been sent all across North America and to parts of South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
That’s only part of what Impact With Hope does, though.
