Happy New Year family and friends! Good-bye 2020 and hello 2021! We hope you had a wonderful
time with your family and friends as we all look forward to new beginnings, making new plans, putting
your dreams into action and living your best life! Kinship Pinellas wishes you a year filled with good
health and happiness; a year of wealth and wisdom; a year of peace and prosperity and a year of
Love and Laughter.
We would like to say “Thank You” to our donors who continue to be so gracious and supporting
