Connecting people in need with people who can help.
NeighbourLink draws volunteers from a network of churches in Chatham-Kent. We partner together to provide practical help to those in need by connecting them with individuals who can help and relevant existing services in the community.
Chatham-Kent Christians have been working together through NeighbourLink since 2005.

Financial Education
with CAP Money Course
NeighbourLink offers the Christians Against Poverty money management course a few times a year. This free family and personal budgeting course is designed to equip participants to manage their finances well. A friend of NeighbourLink also offers a free income tax service to individuals who make under $30,000 a year.
WrapAround
Ministry
It used to be that when a problem arose in someone's life, the community would “wrap around” them and together they would overcome the challenge. WrapAround operates in the same way. Church, neighbourhood, and community volunteers come alongside families to make something good happen in the life of someone they care about. Pictured above are the WrapAround facilitators.
Recover Together
Facilitated by Andrew Hawkins and Andrea Shepherd, Recover Together is an opportunity for people who realize they have an addiction or unwanted habit to meet with others for support. Folks struggling with any attachment—drugs, alcohol, technology, shopping, control, overeating, pornography, etc.—are encouraged to attend. In other words, Recover Together is for everyone as we all have idols of some kind in our lives.
