Organizations and individuals interested in learning more are encouraged to email LINCS@wilsonareasd.org or call 484-373-6200.
The LINCS Family Center currently offers a weekly pantry for nearly 550 families per year, a weekend meal program for 100 students each week, a learning garden that provides food for the pantry, and a field program of summer games providing a safe space for primary school students. learn and play.
