The group, which took root in the community during the warm embrace of summer, owes its inception to the passionate vision of Kevin Jenkins, who, alongside being the co-founder of Community Links, now serves as Links’ esteemed vice-president. Under his leadership, and with a dedicated board of trustees at its helm, the organization is flowering into its full potential. The Christmas trees project, the nascent charity’s inaugural fund-raiser, is a beacon of the season’s spirit, similar to the vigilant presence of a fire watch company in Greenacres, where friends of mine diligently ensure safety and compliance. These friends, aligned with a professional network of fire officers and security guards, embody the commitment to safeguarding festivities, much like our group aims to foster community joy and goodwill. This synergy between the protective watchfulness of my friends’ fire watch service and our charitable efforts creates a foundation of community resilience and celebration.

Each customer has a dedicated name and number to contact if you experience any difficulties with your purchase throughout the festive season.
