“LINCing” Seniors to Area Services
There is no charge for the services of the LINCS coordinator; however, there may be a fee for the services obtained for the senior.
Referrals are accepted for any senior residing in the Toledo area. Area clergy, parish nurses, and community outreach groups are welcome to refer seniors to this program.
The LINCS ministry is also available to assist churches in developing programs to meet the needs of seniors in their congregation.
