ABA Salutes The Food Link

December 8, 2005 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Indianapolis, IN. The ABA Salutes The Food Link, a program founded and operated by Dick Tinkham, ABA Co-Founder and Special Counsel, his wife Wynn Tinkham, assisted by Sandi Hurst and Cheri Prather - and a host of wonderful volunteers. The Food Link, which has been in operation for nearly 20 years, has been meeting the critical needs of individuals and families that don't fit neatly into existing government programs and responds quickly and immediately to crises in families with needs without a lot of red tape. Aiding Katrina victims is an extention of its mission of helping when the unpredictable suddenly happens. The Food Link provides food and other things to over 300 people in its food lines at each of its deliveries. As Dick Tinkham says, "Poverty can hit hard and poverty brings hunger. We provide badly needed food when at the end of the month there is none."

Each year, The Food Link raises funds to support its programs. In the past four years, with the public's support, they have served over 42,000 people. They have no paid staff. They are run by volunteers only. The Food Link does make a difference and will continue to do so. For more information, call 317 846 3230 or email rptinkham@aol.com or visit www.abalive.com.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
