Join us throughout the year for exciting events that support children and families in our community! Whether you're donating essential supplies, attending a tasting event, or lacing up your running shoes, your participation makes a lasting impact.

The support we receive through our events is put directly back into our Foster Care, Adoption, Transitional Living, and Counseling programs. Child Link encourages involvement in our events to help support and to learn more about the organization. Find our upcoming and full events calendar below! 

Come and enjoy Child Link’s Annual Wine Tasting event! Join us in learning about and discussing tasting notes of this year’s selection of wines led by sommelier Nancy Sabatini. See you there!

We believe it is important to be self-sustainable, and we strive to not only improve our programs with the money raised but to go above and beyond by providing extras for our foster care kids that our grants do not pay. These extras include, but are not limited to, birthday and holiday gifts, summer camp tuition, college tours, and additional items our young adults may need for their apartments or dorm rooms.

Please join our wonderful cause by attending one of our events, or making a donation toward our child services.
