Each year, LINK brings the holiday spirit to life with our CANLINK Christmas Dinner. It's a heartwarming event where we gather gifts for the children residing in our CANLINK Permanent Supportive Housing Program. We extend a warm invitation to all our clients to join us for a delightful catered Christmas feast.

The children receive their gifts, thanks to the generosity of our community, through our Share the Spirit program. This program allows individuals to sponsor families in need, filling our offices with an array of toys, clothing, shoes, and school supplies to brighten their holidays.

In 2022, we joined forces with Claus Cares to add an extra sprinkle of magic. Santa himself made a special appearance during the dinner, personally delivering gifts and spreading joy to all. Explore our heartwarming gallery to catch a glimpse of this unforgettable evening.

In 2023, we forged an impactful partnership with Wavy TV 10 and Nexstar for the remarkable Founders Day of Caring. Together, we embarked on a mission to make a difference in our community, and the results were truly extraordinary.

Wavy TV 10 lent their support in various ways, starting with a substantial food drive that resulted in an astounding 400 pounds of food collected for our Emergency Services Food Pantry. Their commitment extended to organizing our clothing closet on-site, ensuring our resources were accessible and well-arranged.

At our Veterans Shelter, their team dedicated their time and energy to enhance our facilities. This included a new paint job and giving our veterans a vegetable garden.

But the generosity didn't stop there. Thanks to an inspiring collaboration with Casey Chevrolet, our veterans received the incredible gift of a brand-new 2020 Subaru Ascent, empowering them with newfound mobility and independence.

To top it all off, Wavy TV 10 presented us with a significant donation of $10,000. This vital contribution will help us repair our walk-in freezer in the food pantry, ensuring that we can continue providing essential resources to those in need.
