**We’re officially back home in New London!**
The Link’s Outreach and Food Pantry are now officially open at our New London location, and we are so excited to serve families again in our "new to us" space!! October 13th was our first official day back and it all feels so surreal!
These renovations were made possible by the generosity of our incredible community. To everyone who donated, volunteered, shared their skills, or supported this project along the way—thank you. There are more helping hands behind this work than we could possibly name in one post, but every contribution mattered and helped make this homecoming possible.
We also want to extend a special thank-you to the owners of **MAC Hardware**, Manuel and Samantha Contreras, who generously donated the use of their former hardware store in Spicer from the beginning of July through today. Having that space available at no cost allowed us to continue providing food and outreach services to families in need throughout the renovations. Your kindness gave us a temporary home and kept our work moving forward. Thank you will never seem like enough for your generosity!!!
We’re grateful for all the ways this community shows up for one another—and excited to begin this next chapter together.
We can't wait for you to see what it looks like when a community comes together to make BIG things happen!!! The Link's Night of Gratitude Open House is Thursday, November 5th! Join us for a night of music by Ava Hanson, light appetizers and drinks right next door at The Little Theater from 4:30-7:30, with tours of The Link and shopping at Community Revival Boutique & Thrift starting at 5:15!!!!
**There are absolutely no words to express our gratitude and how blessed we feel to be a part of this amazing community of ours! As always......YOU are The Link!**
