L.I.N.K’s History:
The purpose of L.I.N.K., the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, is to provide a pleasant, safe place for the hungry or lonely to share a free, nutritious meal and the companionship of one another. We believe loneliness can be as painful as hunger, companionship as powerful as love. Anyone who desires a meal is served, no questions asked. Diners are treated as our invited guests. We do not provide counseling, but rather refer individuals to appropriate agencies when they ask for help. Our focus is on food and fellowship.
Link has been in existence in Lawrence since 1985. A hot, home cooked meal is served by L.I.N.K in the basement of the First Christian Church from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm on every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday & all Federal holidays except Christmas, which is served at First United Methodist Church.

A Brief History on our invaluable partner, The First Christian Church
First Christian Church has been part of the Lawrence community for over 125 years. The purpose of First Christian Church is to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus who love and obey Him, by establishing them in the caring community of the church, by their spiritual growth as we worship, learn & apply Biblical truth and serve others, and by training and deploying them for ministry in Lawrence & around the world.

UPCOMING EVENTS / FUNDRAISERS
Kansas Relays to Attempt World Record for Largest Plate of Nachos
Kansas Athletics will look to set a record of its own, attempting to serve the world’s biggest-ever plate of nachos, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
The event is scheduled to take place inside Memorial Stadium on Saturday, April 21, with service from noon – 2:30 p.m. Organizers will start building the planned plate of nachos at 10 a.m. It will be over 80 feet long, 2 feet wide and ten inches deep, weighing in at a world-record 4,450-plus pounds. Fans with a ticket stub for the Kansas Relays and a canned food donation, or a cash donation to the LINK Kitchen, will be able to take part in the festivities, and help polish off the world-record nacho feast.
