2025 Spanish Resource Guide announced
WABASH, IN - Visit Wabash County, Wabash County Diversity Coalition, and Grow
Wabash County’s Leadership Development Cohort Volunteer group are pleased to
announce the release of the collaborative 2025 Spanish Resource Guide, a 40-page
magazine-style guide that showcases the amenities of al of Wabash County
completely in Spanish.
The guide, now available in both print and online formats, highlights the many
amenities, businesses, attractions, and services that make Wabash County a vibrant
place to live, work, and play, and is entirely in Spanish. The guide also includes listings of
dining, shopping, entertainment options, local healthcare, education resources,
housing resources, community services, outdoor recreation, and more!
“The Spanish Resource Guide emerged out of a desire to connect Spanish-speaking
individuals to resources and opportunities in Wabash County,” said Mackenzie
Coulter-Kern, director of the Wabash County Diversity Coalition. “Our hope is that the
resource guide is another way to connect people, places, and businesses with the
resources they need to thrive, feel welcome, and make a home in Wabash County.
The project was initiated during a marketing consortium meeting. Heather Cruz,
executive director for Manchester Alive, shared the need for a resource in Spanish since
one-sixth of the population in North Manchester is Spanish-speaking. Members of the
Grow Wabash County Leadership Development Cohort, who identified language
accessibility as a key priority for fostering a more welcoming environment, volunteered
to take on the project. Working in partnership with the Wabash County Diversity
Coalition and Visit Wabash County, the team developed the guide to ensure accurate
and culturally relevant content.
“We all win and benefit when we can access the resources we need and collaborate
more efficiently, regardless of the language we speak,” said Coulter-Kern. “Thank you
to Visit Wabash County and to all of the other organizations and individuals who
contributed to the creation of this guide."
The Spanish Resource Guide is a comprehensive marketing tool that can be used by
stakeholders in Wabash County. You can view the digital version of the guide via the
Visit Wabash County website.
