Linkages to Learning

“Linkages to Learning is a school-based collaboration among the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, the Montgomery County Public Schools and non-profit, community based service providers. The program provides accessible services to at-risk children and their families to improve adjustment to and performance in school, home, and community. Prevention and early intervention services include health, mental health, social services and educational support.” (http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/content/linkages/index.html)

Liberty Grove United Methodist Church supports the two Linkages to Learning sites at Greencastle Elementary School and Benjamin Banneker Middle School through several projects throughout the year. School supplies are collected in the fall; coats, hats, mittens and scarves are collected before winter; and Safeway gift cards are purchased before the Christmas holidays. All the donations from the members of Liberty Grove United Methodist Church are donated to the children and families being served by the Linkages to Learning Program.
