The Strength of a Heart String

In the realm of Love's embrace, we stand bound by the threads of Kinship, hand in hand. A tapestry of memories we've weaved, the family tree of love forever believed. Through seasons dance, our roots intertwine. Each heart a branch with love divine. in joyous laughter and tears we share a symphony of love beyond compare . Through the trials faced we find our strength, together we'll go to any length.

EVENTS INTRODUCED IN 2024:

School Backpack Program: Backpacks filled with

schools supplies will be offered each year to

our Kinship families around the first week of August.

Turkey Program: This year we provided

Turkeys and Food Baskets to help kinship families with their Thanksgiving feast. It was a huge success!! Something I am certain we will continue. .

Christmas Giving Tree: Starting this year we asked families

to provide a list of ideas for each family member of things

they need or want and we added them to our Christmas giving tree.

We are so grateful for everyone who volunteered to adopt a family

this year. Thank you to the local business and our local residents

who stepped up this holiday season.
