Your support of Community Link is truly valued, deeply appreciated, and greatly needed.

Every day, families and individuals in our community face challenges that can make it hard to cover the basics — whether that’s putting food on the table, paying the bills, or staying connected. Your donation helps us provide practical support, care, and hope when it’s needed most.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference and stays right here in our local community. Together, we can make sure people have the help they need to get through tough times and move toward a stronger future.

Thank you for your generosity.
