Connecting Link celebrating 20 years
The Connecting Link, a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, is pleased to announce its 20-year anniversary celebration this year, in service to the West Terre Haute community.
The celebration and open house will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday, July 8, at the ministry, located at 830 W. National Ave., West Terre Haute.
Since opening in 1997, The Connecting Link has assisted more than 3,500 individuals in need of food, money, furniture, clothing or basic services. The ministry provides information and referrals to and from other not-for-profit organizations, and advocacy within the community to address needs related to social services.
During the open house, gift bags that highlight ministry partners, including Providence Food Pantry, The Helping Hands and Providence Housing Corporation, will be handed out. In addition, a newsletter will be offered highlighting events during The Connecting Link’s 20 years of service, and a slideshow will run offering press clippings and photos of the ministry’s history.
Refreshments will also be served.
Director of The Connecting Link, Sister Dorothy Rasche, is also selling “sponsorships” for the newsletter.
For more information on the ministry or open house, contact Sister Dorothy at 812-535-4403.
