Giving Tuesday Katy (#GivingTuesdayKaty) kicks off today with a press conference at Members Choice Credit Union. The giving campaign is a month long online giving campaign that takes place November 1 - 30, 2018. All donations stay in the local Katy community. Your gift/donation made through Giving Tuesday will be increased by incentive matching dollars from various sponsors.
Since Hurricane Harvey, the Katy community has seen how our local charities step up to help immediately when tragedy strikes. The charities are making sure that when another disaster happens, they have the resources to assist Katy along with ongoing daily support.
