Programs
The Links, Incorporated has a long tradition of promoting and engaging in educational, civic and inter-cultural activities that enrich the lives of members of the Black community at large. The cornerstone of our service is our five programming facets — Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services, and Health and Human Services. Through our facets, we implement programs and initiatives that address the most critical needs of underserved communities. Annually, we impact the lives of more than 3 million people at home and abroad.
After a year long drive to collect items for the Women's Survival Kits for Africa, the International Trends and Services facet met to organize and prepare the kits for their destination in Africa. It was a joy to collect these items and know that they will serve a great need to the women of Africa. Some items were also included for the children of Africa.
Thanks to the community and members of the South Bend Area (IN) Chapter for their participation.
