Local Chapter of The Links, Incorporated Recognizes Katy Cares for Commitment to Help Single-Parent Families
The Katy-Richmond Area (TX) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated awarded the Community Advocate Award to Katy Cares, Inc. for the work they do in the community to assist families with rebuilding their lives in time of need. In 2021, we began donating to this organization and had the pleasure of meeting Dawid.
“Dawid was so kind and truly took the time to explain the mission and values of Katy Cares with us,” said Tamika A. Johnson of The Links Katy-Richmond Chapter.
“Once we learned all of the work the organization does to help single-parent families, their children, and disadvantaged people in the community, we knew this was the place where we wanted to give back more. Watching how passionate and dedicated this organization is with helping single women is something we are excited to be on board.
The Katy-Richmond Area (TX) Chapter recognizes what Katy Cares does in helping women also helps grow future generations. As a woman’s organization, The Links seeks to honor this non-profit that is linked so closely to one of the segments of the community where we work. Seeing positive change in a community takes hard work and we look forward to building this continued partnership with Katy Cares for years to come. There’s more to do and together we can continue make an impact, one single family at a time.”
Why Katy Cares was designated?
Katy-Richmond Area (TX) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated designated Katy Cares as Community Advocate of the Year based on its commitment to helping those who need it most: single-parent families. The organization’s resource and proficiency-based model exemplifies an intentional and holistic approach to uplifting the community which closely aligns with our organization’s purpose to help educate and support disenfranchised populations in the Katy, Richmond, and Rosenburg areas.
What Katy Cares does that demonstrates great advocacy in the community?
The Ready, Set, Go! Parenting Program allows for single mothers to strengthen their physical and mental capacities through transformative action plans that they may otherwise not have access to without the help of Katy Cares.
What the community needs to know about Katy Cares?
The community needs to know that Katy Cares has an open-door policy that welcomes those who may feel abandoned and alone. Being a single parent is one of the hardest jobs for mothers, but if they are exposed to the great work that Katy Cares is doing, they can certainly gain the skills and connections they need to overcome their challenges.
