Unite for Education: Empowering Every Student with Essentials!

Compassion Katy, alongside Katy ISD and Title 1 Elementary school counselors, is actively registering economically disadvantaged children in 18 Title 1 elementary schools. With 10,500 elementary students eligible for free or reduced meals, many families struggle to secure the basic needs of living in our community. Together, we bring our attention, resources, and presence to provide value to the lives of under-resourced children by ensuring that each child commences the academic year dressed for success. By providing basic school supplies we not only alleviate the financial strain on families but also pave the way for enhanced learning opportunities, dignity, and hope for a future.

Any and every donation helps. Every $50 equips a child with a backpack and essential school supplies. Last year, 2,300 backpacks were distributed. Our goal this year is to distribute 3,000 backpacks. Together we can impact our community and help our neighbors in need. Click the button below.

  • "My family was so blessed to have been chosen to participate in the Compassion Katy school supply drive! I had gone through a lay off like most and didn’t have any extra money to buy the supplies my son needed to start his 2nd grade year. Not only did we get a backpack full of supplies, but they even offered PRAYER!! I can honestly say it couldn’t have come at a better time. We are forever grateful for their time, patience, support and generosity."

  • "Our campus and our community are extremely blessed to have partners such as Compassion Katy to support the needs of our families. Not only have they provided tangible items, but they’ve created an opportunity for campuses to serve and connect with families beyond school walls. . It’s amazing to know that the seemingly small act of gifting school supplies has laid the foundation for parent and community relationship"
