Taking Hope On the Road

LINK MOBILE RESOURCE UNiT

Mobile Resources

In South Carolina, many people in need are often unable to access the help they deserve due to distance, lack of transportation, or limited resources in their area. 

At L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry, we see this as an opportunity to meet people where they are—literally. That’s why we’re launching the LINK Mobile Resource Unit to take hope and support on the road.

Bringing Hope to Soda City's Doorsteps

To address the pressing issue of homelessness in Columbia, SC, we are seeking $150,000 to launch the LINK Mobile Resource Unit. This funding will enable us to deliver essential resources and support directly to those in need, ensuring that distance and accessibility are no longer barriers to assistance. Your generous contribution will help us create lasting change in our community and extend hope to individuals and families facing hardship.

Meeting Needs Where They Are

We will be able to bring essential services directly to those in need, overcoming barriers of distance and transportation. This mobile approach allows us to reach underserved areas and individuals who might otherwise struggle to access support

Spiritual Support on Wheels

Our unit offers a combination of practical and spiritual assistance. It provides not only tangible resources like food, hygiene kits, and clothing but also intangible support through faith-based counseling and prayer.

Results

By offering both material aid and spiritual encouragement, the LINK Mobile Resource Unit addresses multiple aspects of an individual's well-being, providing a more holistic form of support. True empowerment comes from meeting both physical and emotional needs simultaneously.

We Are On A Mission

What OUR Clients Think

About L.I.N.K.

I met Pastor Kathy at the grocery store, where she paid for my food and invited me to her church. They supported me with donations and helped me secure housing for my family. I am grateful for her support; I am no longer homeless and continue to thrive on my journey. Thank you, God, and Dr. Pastor Katherine Moore of L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry.

Linda Stone

I am thankful for Dr. Katherine Moore, Pastor of L.I.N.K. Empowerment Ministry. I was seeking assistance with my rent, and her words of encouragement gave me hope. She shared her resources, directing me to other ministries that could help. She continued to pray for me and encouraged me to trust God. I love how she loves the people of God and has such a great desire to help.

Alvin Brunson

One of my fondest memories was helping her move to South Carolina in 2017. We made the trip together, stopping along the way to talk with people, share positive energy, and hand out her business cards, all while spreading the message of Jesus’ love. Even after her move, I’ve been inspired by her continued growth and dedication to uplifting others. Her kindness and faith truly make her a beacon of hope.
