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.

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, through Katy ISD Pay N’ Go, or via check, remitted to “Katy ISD Food for Families” and mailed to Partners in Education, Katy ISD ESC, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy, TX 77494.
