Ladies In Need Can Survive, Inc. is a non-profit organization.Many women come to LINCS with just the clothes on their backs. Some of them come under the influence of drugs and alcohol, jobless and have no health insurance. Because they do not have income and insurance, many of them are turned awayat other shelters. They need help. At LINCS, we help themwhether they can pay or not. However, operating a residential establishment can be costly.That’s why we rely on grants, fundraisers, foundations, and financial support from churches and private individuals.
