About NeighbourLink Sarnia-Lambton

At NeighbourLink Sarnia Lambton we seek to serve our neighbours in this community who struggle to meet their basic needs. We are a network of 25 local Christian churches who work together to put love into action by giving out of our financial resources and by volunteering our time and energy. Some of the services that we offer are running a Food Pantry, giving rides to necessary appointments, providing bedding, cribs, formula and diapers, and granting financial aid in instances of dental and medical emergencies, rental eviction notices and utility cut-off notices. Additionally we link people in need with donations of beds, furniture, baby items, appliances, and medical equipment.

NeighbourLink Sarnia Lambton is very pleased to invite you to join us in helping our less fortunate neighbours in the Sarnia Lambton community by participating in our first ever Coldest Night of the Year Walk-a thon. You CAN make a big difference in someone’s life!!
