SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) –The Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation today announced a “game-changing” gift for The Link, the city’s planned community triage center.
A $300,000 donation from the Seed for Success Foundation, a fund held at the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation, completes the project’s construction fundraising goal, paving the way for the facility to open in May.
When The Link was first envisioned, community leaders imagined a central place that could provide care and compassion for those struggling with mental illness or addiction. They realized a community triage center could offer an innovative way to address gaps in services for some of our community’s most vulnerable.
“We knew that in order to make The Link a reality and achieve our goal of providing care and compassion to our neighbors in need, we would need the generosity of many in our community,” said Mayor Paul TenHaken. “Throughout this project, I continue to be amazed at the generosity that exists within Sioux Falls. We are extremely grateful to the Seed for Success Foundation for this important gift and to the Community Foundation for their ongoing support and partnership throughout this critical project.”
The Link is one of many civic projects throughout the area for which the Community Foundation serves as a strategic partner.
