LINK, Inc. is an "all volunteer" emergency support organization in Northern Virginia. This organization currently consists of a group of dedicated churches, organizations, and individuals that provide food and financial assistance to qualified people in need. Volunteers do all the work, and most goods are received from donations.
In 2006 LINK touched almost 7,000 people using a budget of around $50,000.00. All monies and material donations went directly to people in our community. LINK spent about 7% of its budget on operating expenses, which included Food Pantry maintenance, water and sewer, telephone, electricity, office supplies and insurance.
In addition to food, LINK provided financial assistance in the form of grocery gift certificates for food to those-in-need ($20,000 in 2006).
LINK also provided financial assistance in cash for social services-approved medical prescriptions, utility bills and rent.
