A passion for compassion

“When we have an opportunity to shed a light on another person’s challenges and pain, and to shed a light of compassion, and information, and better policy, then we should take that opportunity,” says Kim Cook, LINC board chair.

Kim’s passion for both criminal justice reform and compassionate reentry connected her with Amanda Knox, who will be keynote speaker for the 2020 Milestones Dinner. 

Read more about Kim’s belief in the work of the LINC staff and leadership here: Kim Cook: on Amanda Knox, reentry services, and social justice advocacy.


Capable new hands tending the Urban Farm

bill warren farm manager

Bill Warren joins LINC, Inc. as Urban Farm manager, with more than 35 years of farm management experience. He was formerly manager at River Bluffs Organic Farm, and currently oversees an extensive community garden project.

Bill is filling the Urban Farm calendar with projects, from clean up and repairs, to building and planting. Depending upon current tasks, Bill says that the Urban Farm needs donations of construction waste, including treated and untreated lumber, shingles, pipe, soil, and more. “Reuse, recycle, and repurpose is our goal,” he says.

Contact Bill by email, or call him at 910.390.2813 to see if LINC can help you save dump fees, be kind to the environment, and provide the farm with materials for projects that build skills and increase productivity.
