KATY ISD’S PARTNERS IN EDUCATION LAUNCHES FIRST EVER FOOD FOR FAMILIES- SCHOOL’S OUT CAMPAIGN Katy ISD’s Partners in Education is inviting the community to bring hope to families who could use some extra help this summer. For the first time ever, the Food for Families program is expanding to include support for Katy ISD families in need over the summer too. Partners in Education is working with all the Katy ISD junior high schools for this summer launch. The Katy ISD junior high campuses help to identify students for the program and Partners in Education collects community and corporate donations. Food for Families - School’s Out will benefit those select Katy ISD junior high families in need this summer. Those interested in supporting Food for Families can contribute online 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. Food for Families is a community initiative raising monetary donations to purchase grocery gift cards for Katy ISD students and their families in need over the holidays and NOW over the summer. Cards are distributed to students before school is out with a note of best wishes from our community. In the 2020 holiday season, Food for Families raised over $60,000. Since its inception in 2002, this initiative has raised over $300,000 and assisted more than 6,300 families.

Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative, unites our Katy ISD staff and community in support for select students and their families.
