The Swiss Army Knife of charities

Project Linkage fills needs for countless individuals every day

Project Linkage fills needs for countless individuals every day

A lot of charities focus on a large need.  Food banks that collect millions of pounds of food for the hungry.  Fundraisers to pay for medical research or treatments.  But sometimes, you find a nifty group that has found a unique way to tackle a seemingly smaller need.

That’s one of the many reasons we love Project Linkage.  The group run through Metropolitan Family Services offers a lot of services that may seem minor to the rest of us:

Scheduling regular visits between a volunteer and someone who is stuck in the home for the most part.

Driving people to the grocery store, the vet or the dry cleaners.

Heck, even CALLING once a day to make sure they haven’t fallen or need help.

The list goes on (sadly, Project Linkage does NOT offer a compass, toothpick or tweezers).

While the group does many wonderful things every day, they need YOUR help to do more.  Go here to learn more about how to volunteer.
