Morning Star
LINC Caring Communities at Morning Star Youth and Family Life center is a unique partnership forged during the pandemic. Together, we delivered what the community asked for when they needed it the most. We delivered vaccinations, rent and utility help, and food distributions.
The site is a hub for social services and as former Gov. Mike Parson described, “It’s a model for our state and our nation.”
