Hamper Drive 2009
In parallel with running the Carols by the Lake 2009 event, the Link Church is again running the Christmas Link Appeal 2009.
Working with three local agencies, Dalwood Spilstead Centre, Community Care (Northern Beaches) & Manly Warringah Pittwater Community Aid, the Link Church identified a need for over 80 hampers. This need is greater than last year, which was not a surprise given the economic climate. Through the month of December, we are asking the Link Church and the community to donate generously to meet this need. Hampers are $35 each - you can download the form here, and bring it to The Link Church on a Sunday, to the Link Office or to the Carols by the Lake event on the 20th of December. An offering will also be taken up at Carols by the Lake.
By linking together, the Link Church, the community and businesses on the Northern Beaches, we can make a huge impact in the lives of families & individuals in need. Thank you for your support!

Testimonials from 2008

The smile on the faces of the families who received your Hampers was worth all your tireless work over the last few weeks.
