“action to encourage interfaith dialogue”
Linked is an interfaith dialogue and service organization on the Missouri State University campus and is an affiliate of the national Interfaith organization, Interfaith Youth Core. Linked brings together people of all religious and secular traditions to serve the community and discuss issues happening in Springfield and beyond. Their goal is to address a variety of social concerns such as homelessness and public health, increase religious literacy and public knowledge regarding interfaith cooperation, and to serve the Springfield community through volunteerism. Linked has monthly volunteer opportunities for its members with organizations such as Harmony House and the Kitchen Inc. In October during one of their signature events, Trick or Treat Better Together, members collected over 300 household items and supplies for the organization The Kitchen Inc whose mission is to provide emergency housing and combat homelessness in the Springfield area.
Linked has a weekly meeting Thursday’s at 8pm in the Plastor Student Union room 314C. For more information contact Tia Rounsoville by email at, rounsoville0406@live.missouristate.edu and visit https://www.ifyc.org/ for more information about interfaith cooperation.
