Katy ISD begins annual ‘Food for Families’ campaign to provide for needy students over winter break

Posted

Katy ISD’s Partners in Education invites the community to bring hope to families in need this holiday season. The organization’s biannual Food for Families campaign allows the community to bring joy into the homes of students and their families. Katy ISD campuses identify students for the program while Partners in Education collects community and corporate donations. Grocery gift cards and a note of support from the Katy ISD community are then delivered to each student by a campus staff member. Last year, Food for Families raised and distributed $108,600. Since its inception in 2002, this initiative has raised over $589,000 and assisted more than 10,600 Katy ISD families.

Contributions in any amount are welcome and appreciated. Those interested in helping these Katy ISD families experience a happier holiday season should donate by December 9. Donations are accepted online at www.pledgecents.com/cause/tywkcs/food-for-families, through Katy ISD Pay N’ Go app, or via check, remitted to “Katy ISD Food for Families” and mailed to Partners in Education, Katy ISD ESC, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy 77494.

Food for Families is a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative rallies community support for Katy ISD families in need through the funding of grocery gift cards.
