Our Story:

Link began in 2011 as a partnership between Harvest Vineyard Church, Orchard Hill Church, and the Walnut Neighborhood Association. Inspired by the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) model, we’ve grown into a network of neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, and local leaders working for neighborhood transformation. Over the years, Link has helped launch programs like Try Pie and Youth Art Team, both now thriving nonprofits serving the broader Cedar Valley community. Today, we continue to work alongside neighborhood associations, churches, and partners like Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, JSA Development, and the City of Waterloo to foster healthy, vibrant neighborhoods.
