 Gina Wilkins is the Founder and CEO of Kind Mouse Productions Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 assisting local families in transition and their chronically hungry children. 

In 2012, Gina saw a need to assist displaced families and to also feed the hungry children of her neighborhood.

Since that time, Gina is proud to say the Kind Mouse has fed over 350,000 chronically hungry little tummies since it’s birth and has served over 250 families experiencing job loss.

A brainchild of Gina’s is The Kind Mouse Outreach Programs – Mice In Training and Mice Interns. “KMKids Feeding Kids” where chidren from ages 5 through 18 learn leadership, how to operate a nonprofit and run two boards. These students are the next generation of the Kind Mouse.

Gina is a 7 year member of Angels Against Abuse, a 9 year member of The Rainmakers Business Networking Group, a 2 year member of The St Pete Women’s Chamber of Commerce, and a 1 year member of Woman’s Service League and St. Anthony’s Auxiliary. She has recently joined Boley Angels and Queen of Hearts . She was a 4 year member of BNI and a 7 year member of Northeast Exchange Club where she served 2 years on the board. Gina also represented Kind Mouse as a Junior League St. Petersburg Advisory Board Member.

Last year Gina was honored and chosen as A Princess for The Queen of Hearts Court. And in 2019 Gina became a Lightning Community Hero.

Gina is extremely grateful to the community for their support with The Kind Mouse. As she likes to say, “It takes a large litter to run THIS Mouse.” She knows without the love and support of her family, friends and community, The Kind Mouse would not be as strong as it is today.

 The Kind Mouse food packs are packed by the organization and provided to the community through partners such as: St Pete Police and Sheriff office, MOW4KIDS home delivery, Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger, Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center Pantry Hands Across the Bay, Boley Center and Enoch Youth Ranch.

More than 7,000 children in Pinellas County live with chronic hunger

and more than 36,000 live every day with food insecurities. 

 Our Mission is to assist families in transition and their chronically hungry children while developing the next generation of volunteers to carry on the mission of The Kind Mouse. No hardworking individual and their family should ever go hungry.

The Kind Mouse is focused on three activities:

1. To feed local children suffering from chronic hunger and food insecurities,

2. To develop the next generation of community leaders and activists so they continue the work of the Kind Mouse as long as there is need, and

3. To assist families in transition. It is our belief that no hardworking individual should suffer despair due to unforeseen economic hardship.

The Kind Mouse distributed a record 123,000 pounds of food in 2019. Yet, we see the need for more help in the community every day. We are committed to expanding our operations to serve more children and families in Pinellas County, Florida.

Many more children need our help – YOUR help – to have something to eat when not in school. Food gives a child hope for a better tomorrow. #kmkidsfeedingkids

Our kids are amazing in all that they do to feed other kids in need. The Kind Mouse has created a pantry program that fosters friendship and camaraderie among the kids who participate. It is a safe place for all to gather and we encourage everyone to hang out at our pantry including the underprivileged.
