Welcome to the Claremont Area (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated

The Claremont Area (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated welcomes you to our official website. We invite you to explore our programs, initiatives, and the impactful services our members provide both locally and globally.

Chartered in 1985, the Claremont Area (CA) Chapter proudly serves as part of The Links, Incorporated, one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations composed of professional women of African descent. Our chapter was founded on the principles of friendship and service—values that continue to guide our mission and strengthen our community engagement.

As members of a network of distinguished women, we collectively contribute more than one million documented service hours each year, advancing programs that support education, health, civic engagement, and cultural enrichment.

Linkages to Life - Donor Sabbath Celebration

Support Claremont Area (CA) Links on Donor Sabbath

The vision of The Links, Incorporated Linkages to Life National Signature Program is to overcome disparities in African American organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donations to provide access to lifesaving transplantations and sickle cell therapies for African Americans and people of African descent.

The goals of the program are:

Increase Awareness of Organ, Tissue and Blood Donations

➢ When members of The Links, Incorporated share personal stories of the ways in which their lives have been touched by organ, tissue donation and transplantation and blood donations, we help to dispel myths and raise the cultural competency of messaging to the Black community around organ, tissue and blood donation.

Increase Organ, Tissue and Blood Donors

➢ The need for healthy organs and tissues available for transplantation continues to outpace the number of healthy organs and tissue available. For thousands diagnosed with blood cancers, a bone marrow transplant is the best chance for survival. Blood donations by African Americans are critical for successful sickle cell therapies.

Hope to see you all on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at Bethel AME Church of Fontana.

Walk For Healthy Living

Linked to Connect, Create, Collaborate

The Claremont Area (CA) Chapter and San Bernardino Valley (CA) Chapter coordinated their walk at Almeria Park in Fontana CA. What a blast we all had.

Walk for Healthy Living Impact Day brought together members, families, and community partners in a spirit of wellness, unity, and purpose. Participants joined in promoting healthier lifestyles by walking side by side, encouraging one another, and raising awareness about the importance of daily physical activity. Beyond the steps taken, the day fostered fellowship, strengthened community connections, and inspired participants to commit to ongoing habits that support mind, body, and spirit. This impactful event served not only as a call to healthier living but also as a celebration of collective action toward a stronger, more vibrant community.

As we walked, we introduced ourselves to other people in the community walking and gave them a QR Code to check on their voter registration and to make sure all information was correct.
