There’s a wonderful transformation that happens in our hearts when we’re called into the life-giving world of community.
Food is simple way to gather together and share our stories to start changing our lives for the better.
That’s why at Kinship we gather around food, serving one another by growing, cooking, and sharing healthful food together.
Special thanks to Advocate Aurora Health for making this possible.
