“I was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer in October of 2025. Currently receiving chemo and my hair was falling out in chunks it’s heartbreaking but part of the process to try and beat this. I was referred over in December to them and the ladies here were all really nice and helpful the grocery card helped me a lot since disability takes a long time to pay out. I’m very happy with the wigs I received and other gifts they provided. Thank you to all that have and continue to donate to Links For Life and their wonderful caring staff.”
“So this place is a true life saver! For those who have pets but because of a rough economy are struggling to feed their dogs or cats! Also for low income to help with their pets! It's easy to sign up or if you would like to donate!”
“This place is great! I took my son’s spider man bike to get fixed. I called every bike shop and they gave me the best deal in town. They have a huge selection of all kinds of bicycles a cool show room, and the most friendly staff I’ve encountered in a long time. Quick service & very trustworthy. He was very knowledgeable about potential issue before getting into it & was able to get it fixed very quickly. I’ll definitely be back!” Definitely recommend to my friends”
“I can't tell you really how kind and welcoming these people were to us. One lovely lady searched and found me a pair of boots to fit me and then she examined them and just out of decency and genuine kindness, gave me the boots because they are slightly damaged. It was an act of giving that I appreciate because I did argue with her and she wasn't having it. The clothes are well maintained and will work well for any interview or first day of work. But it's the people who make the place and they are a gift, more than a new set of clothes or a shoes. They didn't make me feel like a charity case..just a woman who needed something nice to wear to an interview. They are all volunteers, as well. They don't get paid to be that kind, it was just a natural act that made my whole month better.”

“We've had many family reunions here over the years. It's a great option for large gatherings. Its fully fenced to keep children together, has space for bounce houses and swings. Restrooms, shade trees, outdoor kitchen area and stage. There are also themed booths you can set up different activities in. Great memories! Thank you!”
“I’ve been to this house a few times for fundraisers like Oktoberfest, Holiday Market and the Mother’s Day Tea. I’ve had a great time at each event. You can tell the house has been newly renovated and the courtyard is nicely kept. Each event is decorated differently, which I think is cool. It’s never the same.The bathrooms are nice too and I noticed there is a kitchen with multiple ovens and fridges for caterers.It’s a truly beautiful building which I’m sure has tons of history behind it.I don’t have a need for a space yet, but would consider this location for a baby shower or something. Parking is easy too!Oh, and my mom won a $150 bottle of wine at the Mothers Day Tea so best believe we’ll be back!”

“To the person that left the 1 star review about them taking your stuff in their personal vehicle (Liz). You must be a fool if you think they keep everything donated to them on-site, they'd have to have a massive facility just for storage. I've donated to them many times, and know that they move the donations to an offsite storage facility. Also, what do you think that they use to relocate these donated items, the Ronald McDonald mobile? C'mon, think with a bit of logic here, and quit spreading these hateful rumors based on bias assumptions. Seriously Liz, do better and be better...”
