KinShip

Special thanks to Deidre Windau from Kinship for speaking to us on Tuesday about what Kinship does. We have helped Kinship out in the past. We painted and cleaned when they first moved to the location in Osborn Park and also when they expanded the location. Our kinship serves over 100 family's a year.

KinShip is a supervised parenting center focused on the prevention of child abuse and neglect while providing support, guidance and assistance to families who have experienced some type of trauma, such as divorce, abuse, domestic violence, neglect, separation or child custody issues.
We provide all services in a non-threatening homelike child-friendly environment, our distinguishing characteristic among local agencies. Because of our homelike environment, other agencies use our facility for programs involving children.
