Connecting Link’s mission is to address an individual’s immediate crisis need and to assist residents of North Central West Virginia in locating resources to help them become more self-sufficient. The Connecting Link, Inc. also provides for the efficient and effective use of community dollars and reduces the dehumanizing effect of clients walking door-to-door seeking assistance.
We at The Connecting Link are passionate in offering any and all the help we can to not only solve the immediate problem but to find a resolution and create a plan with each individual for better self-sufficiency. Each person has a unique situation that they need someone to sit down and take the time to tailor a plan to them and that is what we offer. We promise when you reach out to us, you will leave with some form of help or assistance. No one leaves empty handed.
