This banner is beautiful and it tells exactly why our Kinship Communities are TREASURES. Quince Orchard’s story is rooted in faith, education, family, resilience, and a legacy that generations worked hard to build and protect.

Now it’s our turn to show up for these communities and make sure their stories continue to be seen, heard, and preserved. Join us September 18th & 19th as we celebrate the history and TREASURES within our Kinship Communities.
