Dear Friends & Visitors,

The Tacoma (WA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated welcomes you to our website!

One of the older Western Area chapters, the Tacoma (WA) Chapter was chartered on October 19, 1966. Since then, chapter members have joined together in friendship to carry out a range of outreach programs through our five facets: Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services and Health and Human Services. Our members complete over 2000 hours of service each year and have distributed over $500,000 in scholarships raised from our fundraising events as we aim to Link the Community to a Brighter Future.

It’s been said, “Service defines The Links, Incorporated and it creates a foundation for a giving and caring organization.” We invite you to explore our site to learn about our work in the community. Moreover, follow us on social media and consider attending our events and volunteering with us too.

Warm regards,

Mentha Hynes-Wilson
President

 THE TACOMA (WA)
CHAPTER OF THE LINKS, INCORPORATED
