The South Carolina House of Representatives held a significant meeting on March 4, 2025, where members honored the Linx Incorporated, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to serving communities through various initiatives. With a membership of 17,000 professional women of African descent across 299 chapters, Linx has a strong presence in South Carolina, with local chapters in cities such as Aiken, Charleston, and Greenville.
During the meeting, Representative Henderson Myers emphasized the organization's commitment to addressing food insecurity, a pressing issue affecting thousands of families in the state. "No one should have to wonder where their next meal will come from," she stated, highlighting the importance of community support in combating hunger.
The Linx Incorporated is partnering with the Harvest Hope Food Bank, a key organization in the fight against food insecurity in South Carolina. Through their collective efforts and donations, the members aim to nourish and uplift their communities, ensuring that families in need have access to food.
The meeting also recognized Vanessa Falls, the Southern Area director of Linx, along with all South Carolina chapters for their dedication to service and community improvement. Representative Clyburn and other members expressed gratitude for the organization's work and encouraged continued collaboration to eradicate hunger in the state.
This gathering not only celebrated the contributions of Linx Incorporated but also reinforced the commitment of South Carolina legislators to address critical community issues, particularly food insecurity, which remains a significant challenge for many residents. As the House continues to support initiatives like these, the hope is to foster a stronger, more resilient community where no family goes hungry.
