About Us
HISTORY
Linked Family Services began in 2018 as Hearts of Gold Mentoring PA, a grassroots program focused on mentoring and community support. In its early years, Hearts of Gold hosted empowerment socials for mothers, back-to-school drives, and other one-time events to meet immediate needs and encourage families.
As the vision expanded, the name Linked Family Services was adopted as a DBA in 2023 to reflect a broader mission centered on family engagement, maternal wellness, and community connection. In 2025, the organization formally changed its name to Linked Family Services.
While the name has evolved, our commitment remains the same: strengthening families, preventing crises, and creating healthier communities.

MISSION
At Linked Family Services (LFS), our mission is to prevent child welfare involvement by addressing maternal health disparities, strengthening parent-child relationships, and supporting the whole family from the start. As a prevention and intervention direct service agency, we provide responsive, culturally grounded programs that promote birth equity, development-centered parenting, and access to essential care and resources.
Through our commitment to early support, family-centered care, and trauma-informed practices, we work to interrupt cycles of crisis and create the conditions for long-term wellness, stability, and generational healing—one family at a time.
VISION
We envision a world where birth equity is a given, every child begins life in stability and love, and no parent has to navigate the journey alone. Families are connected to resources, communities respond with compassion, and cycles of inequity give way to generational healing and opportunity. Linked Family Services is building a future where equity and dignity define every family’s story.
