Our community is focused on inclusion and collaboration.

HelpLink (formerly Spark in the Dark) is a tech-enabled nonprofit designed to meet individual basic needs through a collaboration between businesses, employees, community members, and nonprofit organizations. Every member has the ability to affect change--whether a nonprofit director, business owner, or a person in need--every member has the ability to help others and is encouraged to ask for help

Losing your job is losing your stability. It's losing your identity. It's losing the thing that lets you take care of yourself and the people you love. The fear is real. The stakes are high. And that's exactly why HelpLink exists. To catch people when they fall. To help them stay afloat while they rebuild. You're not alone in this. Help is here.

When hope feels out of reach, every dollar matters.

At HelpLink, we meet real needs with dignity and respect in tact. If you know someone facing a wall, share this post and remind them, it's ok to ask for help.

Support is closer than you think.✨

Landing the job is great, but what happens when people cannot afford the appropriate attire for the first day?
They fall behind and keep falling behind because they cannot get to the first day to even start rebuilding...

You can help people looking for a hand up not a hand out with a simple act of kindness.

Absenteeism. Burnout. Turnover. These aren't just HR problems—they're symptoms of a bigger issue: employees facing barriers to work that they don't know how to solve.
Transportation breaks down. Utilities get shut off. Work boots get a hole in them. And suddenly, your best people can't show up.

When you partner with HelpLink, we help you remove those barriers in a way that is fast, dignified, and that keeps your team stable and your culture strong.
Let's talk about how to build a workplace where people feel truly supported.

One chair. Dozens of hearts in action.

This is what real support looks like: dignity, speed, and kindness, all through HelpLink's platform.
