History



In 1984 the Douglas County Council on Community Services appointed a task force to examine the extent of malnutrition and hunger in Douglas County. The task force's findings led to the formation of L.I.N.K., the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, by a group of citizens, primarily from local churches with the encouragement and sponsorship of the Douglas County Emergency Services Council.

L.I.N.K.'s home became the basement of St. John's Catholic Church, and the doors opened to the public on Valentine's Day (February 14), 1985. Six guests were served. During the summer of 1986, L.I.N.K. moved to the basement of the First Christian Church, where it continues serving today. On a typical serving day between 120 and 140 guests are served at L.I.N.K.
