Good cheer and great energy describe this year’s fundraising campaign sponsored by The Pasadena-Altadena Chapter of The Links, Incorporated.

Co-Chairs Link Shelby Larkin-Reid and Link Tara Newman-Rahman head up the safe and easy effort by reaching out to all friends old and new with several opportunities to join the Chapter in good cheer.

This holiday season began with a contribution of hearts, hands, and funds to make the food pantry at First AME Church the best ever for donations in late November.

Members personally delivered four turkeys, cranberry sauce and donated cash.  The chapter contributed additional funds from the Chapter Meal Fee Reimbursement, bringing the total contribution to $400.00.  All of the funds were used to purchase turkeys.

Furthermore, a Holiday Greeting letter, highlighting the Chapter’s accomplished services and hopes for the future crowns the season by raising funds, by raising awareness.

Donations may be made electronically, this year, with the help of PACEF, our not-for-profit investment partner by visiting https://pasadenaaltadenalinksinc.org/ .  Donations give direct assistance to youth-focused and community outreach programs.

The Pasadena Altadena Chapter of the Links, Incorporated celebrates 56 years as a women’s volunteer service organization committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the cultural and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry here in Pasadena.
