Fairmont Area Kinship began as a Healthy Youth initiative in 1998. FAK became incorporated in December of 1999 and the first match was made in January of 2001. Since then, the lives of over 110 children have been touched through Kinship mentoring. Fairmont Area Kinship is grateful to St. John's UCC for the generous donation of use of the parish house for office space and a place for program participants to call home.
