Dear MWA program partners and participants,

On October 31, LINC will move to a new location for its main offices, including the main offices for the Missouri Work Assistance program. This move affects the main office only. LINC's five satellite MWA offices will remain in their same locations.

In addition, we will also be opening our new location at: 3619 E 35th St. KC MO 64128 (Palestine Senior Center)

If you have any questions, you can email your case manager or call the main phone number, 816-889-5050

If I am referred, what kind of help can I get?
