Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative, unites the Katy ISD staff and community to help Katy students in need. When school is not in session, such as over the summer and winter break, Food for Families helps to keep families in need fed.
To feed those students identified, Food for Families has set a goal of $55,500.
"We recognize that there are families in our community who need additional support and our Food for Families program allows us to provide for some of their basic needs," says Karen Lewis, Executive Director for Community Partnership for Katy ISD.
Katy ISD identifies the students who will benefit from the Food for Families program. This year, their goal is set to reach over $55,500. Since its inception in 2003, Food for Families has raised funds to directly help Katy students and their families.
The Partners in Education team collects donations from the community and corporations and converts them into grocery store gift cards. Then a campus staff member delivers the gift to the student along with a note of support from the Katy ISD community.
Every Katy ISD campus participates in the program, so it effectively supports student need across the district.
"Through the continued generosity of our community members and businesses, we can ensure that all students thrive," says Lewis.
