Meet Our Team

It Takes A Family.

Kathy’s House is fueled by love.

That is felt when you meet the staff, volunteers, partners, and residents. We are a family. We all know family can get messy at times, but family does not abandon or give up. That’s what love looks like. Love hopes all, believes all, and endures all.

We are extremely proud of all who have served Kathy’s House in any function and are extremely grateful for each and every person. We wish we could list them all on this page, but countless pages would not contain all those who have shared love in one way or another. Below is a small representation of some of our staff, be sure to stop by one of the stores and say hi!
