It was a beautiful day here at LINK. We were blessed to be the recipient of a very large and generous donation from The Scouts who did their annual Scouting for Food Drive. We thank everyone who donated non-perishable items and also want to thank the scouts and parents who picked-up and delivered all the donations to us at LINK. Thank you for helping serve the community! God's Blessings to all!❤️

Earlier this month LINK was blessed to have more inventory of a particular type than we can quickly distribute. In these cases, we look for additional ways to redistribute it to those in need. We checked our shelves and were fortunate to be able to send some items to North Carolina to assist with hurricane relief with the help of Kuhn Aviation in Leesburg.

LINK would like to thank all of the many volunteers who give their time in helping us serve our community. This organization needs many people to ensure it runs smoothly serving those in need. We have volunteers who manage the phone line & requests for help, take in donations, sort the incoming donations, stock the pantry, pack the bags, deliver the groceries, provide special occasion cakes to children, do paperwork, attend monthly meetings and run the website. None of this could be done without YOUR support. We again would like to thank all those who choose to serve. God's Blessings to all!❤️
