Ladies In Need Can Survive, Inc. (LINCS) is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting women who often arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Many face addiction, unemployment, and lack of health insurance — challenges that have caused other shelters to turn them away. At LINCS, we welcome every woman in need, regardless of her ability to pay. 

Operating a residential program with comprehensive services is costly, and we rely on the generosity of individuals, grants, fundraisers, foundations, churches, businesses, and private donors to keep our doors open and our programs running.
