A New Year, A New Beginning! Goodbye 2022 and Hello 2023!
Happy New Year family and friends! We hope you had a wonderful time during this
past holiday season. As we all look toward new beginnings, let us start making new
plans, putting dreams into action, and living life to the fullest!
Kinship Pinellas wishes you a year filled with good health, wealth, happiness, joy,
love, peace, and continued blessings.
We would like to say “Thank You” to our donors who continue to be so gracious in
supporting our families. There is no way to fully express our gratitude for your loyalty.
We are continually grateful and inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors
like you, who answer the call to give again and again.
