Thanks to the generosity of our donors and volunteers, the 2022 holiday program provided over 35,000 pounds of food, more than 3,700 toys, and more than $73,000 of grocery gift cards to more than 1,400 families.

Planning for the 2023 holiday program is actively underway.
Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that takes one hour or less? LINK rescues food from several area restaurants-stores. Our clients love receiving delicious food from these locations - Wawa (Sterling), Kentucky Fried Chicken (Sterling) Trader Joe's (Reston) and Target (Sterling). This is an easy way to volunteer and makes a big impact!

LINK was in desperate need of a new and improved website, one that was mobile responsive. After several years of praying, Perfect Sense steps in and selects LINK as a mission project. Perfect Sense was founded with giving back to its community core to its mission. After four months of intensive work, they presented the new website to LINK. Words cannot express our gratitude for their hard work and passion for giving back to the community in which they work. As an added bonus, Perfect Sense provides lunch for their employees every day and the leftovers are donated to LINK. A win - win for everyone!!
