About 90 Kids 'n Kinship participants enjoyed a fun-filled day at the Minnesota Valley YMCA in Burnsville on Sunday April 21! Kids 'n Kinship is a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization serving Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount by matching children and youth with individuals, couples, and families for weekly activities at their home and in the community. Mentors, mentees, kids on the waiting list, and their families had a blast swimming in the pool, playing floor hockey in the gym, and enjoying a tasty meal with donations from Noodles & Co. Burnsville. Rose plants were given to our volunteer mentors in appreciation of their weekly service and dedication to the children they mentor. Kids ‘n Kinship wishes to thank Southern Dakota Scott Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for sponsoring the event! Also thanks to Single Volunteers of the Twin Cities members who volunteered with us that day! This annual event demonstrates true collaborative spirit in the community! If you're interested in getting started as a mentor, attend our next information session, Wed. May 15, 6-6:45 pm at the Burnhaven Library.
