Lightspeed Voice donates services to support Loveland Center

Lightspeed Voice recently donated equipment and services to support the Loveland Center

Lightspeed Voice recently donated equipment and services to support the Loveland Center (LovelandCenter.org), a nonprofit that provides educational programs and vocational training for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The contribution represents an estimated $57,000 in operating expense savings for Loveland Center over the next 36 months. Lightspeed Voice delivered state-of-the-art IP phone services and industry-leading support to the Loveland Center earlier this month.

“We are so grateful for the donation of equipment and service by the team at Lightspeed Voice,” said Daniela Koci, president of Loveland Center. “Because of their generosity, this is one less overhead expense, allowing us to focus our financial resources to directly serve our students.”

The Loveland Center originally approached the North Port-based Lightspeed Voice to request a quote for a new phone system.

“Loveland provides phenomenal services to our community, assisting adults with developmental disabilities and giving them a place to learn, belong and be cared for, as necessary,” said Lourdes Fuller, president of Lightspeed Voice. “Once we saw who they were and what they do for our community, we realized it was our duty as a member of the community to support their mission by donating our services. They have much better things to spend their money on than a new phone system.”
