Belonging is as much a basic human need as food is. At Link, people belong.
There are many ways to support Link
Link contributes substantially to the Lawrence community by stabilizing our impoverished, mentally ill, and homeless citizens through food security. When humans cannot get their basic needs met they become even more de-stabilized, which results in suffering that can lead to undesirable behavior.

One of the most notable aspects of LINK is the attitude of the people that make it work. They are kind and caring and not the least bit condescending. They are inclined to be far more enriched than the visitors.
