In my time serving at LINK, I have met several guests with devastating medical diagnoses.

This causes them to rely on social security and disability payments to meet their needs. More than once, I have heard how LINK helps them get through on fixed incomes and provides much needed meals when stretching the budget through the month.

These conversations are always a sobering reminder that any of us can be one medical diagnosis away from food insecurity. But because of places like LINK, people have a safety net where they depend on nutritious meals served with a healing touch of kindness.
