Feeling extra grateful today for our Kinship mentors; your support, wisdom, and belief in our kids mean more than words can say.

Thank you for helping Kinship become better every day. 🤎

Wishing everyone a holiday filled with good food, good company & good energy!

The Holiday Shop at Home Event Saturday was so busy, that I realize that I sure did not take many pictures, but here is a glimpse of a very fun day!

Kinship is so thankful for 18 years in partnership with home businesses and crafters! Thank you for doing an amazing job coordinating the vendors and for every home business who participated; for everyone who donated silent auction baskets, (especially my very generous friend Janele) for everyone who brought bars, volunteered, help set up or take down, & of course, for everyone who shopped, bid, lunched and supported this event!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and know that your generosity bears fruit all year as youth receive mentors support to grow & thrive!💛🧡

So. Much. Fun. 🤩
Spread the word. Bid on these amazing baskets Saturday from 10-2 at the Holiday Shop at Home vendor event and craft fair at the community center in Wahpeton to support Kinship Youth Mentoring!!

The Holiday Shop at Home vendor event is just five days away and we can't wait to celebrate! Here's a sneak peek at some of the incredible silent auction items that are pouring in! GORGEOUS! We're grateful for our generous and creative donors. ❤️
Take home one of these amazing gems for yourself or to gift others, while supporting Youth Mentoring at the same time! 🥰 Join us on Saturday, October 25 from 10 - 230 at the Wahpeton Community Center. We look forward to seeing you there!
