Oh behalf of the Board of Directors, the Advisory Group, and myself, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It's been a pretty incredible year at NeighborLink Fort Wayne and it's all because of the incredible volunteers and community partners we have. NeighborLink is a unique kind of organization that relies on the trust and self-direction of so many people that it's hard to understand how it all works.

We're honored to be able to provide a web-based tool that allows neighbors to connect with the intention of helping one another out. Everyone that participates in NeighborLink is impacted by the process. Often times volunteers enter into projects thinking that they are going to use their resources to impact someone else, and then are surprised by how much the project impacted them. That's the beauty of it all. That we're all neighbors in this together and regardless of our place in this world at this moment, we all have something to contribute and receive. 

As you celebrate with your families this year, consider those you know that have had an especially tough year. Give them a call, visit them, and continue to pray for them. Make a sacrifice of time and resource this Christmas season in order to unleash the beauty of what it meant for God to come into this world through his son Jesus. 

Thank you again for all the support this year. We look forward to loving our neighbors with you in 2013. 

Andrew Hoffman
