“We are helping between 80 to 100 people per week by offering as many as 30 different services, classes and workshops weekly," said Kin's co-founder and executive director, Keith Fenimore. "This donation match was an unexpected gift that will allow us to end our fundraising season strong so we can continue to make an impact on those who rely on us."

Fenimore added, "I love that this is obtainable to all, as we will graciously accept a donation of any denomination. I am eager to see if we can turn this $20,000 gift into $40,000 for Kin!”
