LINCS Winter Craft Sale
Hello Lansing family! LINCS is having our Winter craft sale on December 5th and 6th. We would love for you to come and help our young adults practice their skills while you look at what they have been hard at work on! LINCS is an 18–21-year-old community-based program that focuses on individual student transition from school to adulthood. LINCS uses the money that is raised from these sales and bakery order sales for things like supplying our bakery business, going on outings to practice vocational and social skills, and meal planning and prep. We hope to see you soon!
