There are many celebrations occurring throughout the state to appreciate and support kinship families. One such event is being held in Phoenix at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church.

GreyNickel Inc., an organization that focuses solely on kinship families in the early stages of this unique journey, has partnered with Pilgrim Rest Community Hub to pay tribute to kinship and ‘Grandfamilies’. These Kinship caregivers are honored with a luncheon and connected with kinship focused resources and health and wellness vendors.

Pilgrim Rest has also been a supporter and previous host of Maricopa County Family Reunification Day and is dedicated to providing guidance, hope and support to everyone in need.

If you know a kinship family be sure to offer empathy and support all year long.
