Do I have to go to church for NeighbourLink Quinte to help me?
No. We help whomever we can, if we can, regardless of race, creed, religion, gender, culture or social setting. All people, regardless of their station in life, are God’s image-bearers.
Do you duplicate services provided by other agencies?
Our goal is to meet needs that are not currently being met by other agencies in the community. To learn more about the agencies we work with, visit our About page.
Why should we be a NeighbourLink Quinte supporting church?
It’s wonderful to see so many churches with a heart to help the less fortunate in our community. NeighbourLink assists these churches in their good intentions by:
• lessening the strain on any one church as the network of churches work together
to meet needs
• providing a more cost-effective approach to ministry by sharing resources and
utilizing volunteers to meet needs; our conviction is that we can do far more
together than we can do alone
• identifying unmet needs or gaps in community services and informing churches of
new opportunities for ministry
• helping church members put their faith into action as they serve low-income
people in practical ways
There are over 2,000 Bible verses that address poverty and justice. People matter to God and therefore they should matter to Christ’s Church.
Who are your volunteers?
Our volunteers are primarily members of our partner churches who want to serve the community.
