Our Cause
Operation Homefront's Bridging Fund for Single Parent Homes caused by the wars in Iraq and Afganistan
Katy's is focused on helping to strengthen our communities. We have partnered with Operation Homefront(hyperlink) to build awareness and funds from our products. This in turn helps the families left behind due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; specifically the single parent home.
Thousands of children have lost a parent. Many more can't recognize their parents as they were before being disabled while protecting our country. Hundreds will never even have the opportunity to remember them at all -
Being a single parent in today's world is far more common than ever before. Many have been there ourselves. We understand how difficult losing a partner's everyday help can be. Yet we still have a choice on how we continue to gain support from each other. We are left with choices and options that these families never will.
If the war ended today, these families will be raising the children left behind at a cost of over one billion dollars, not including college expenses. Our military is a family unit built on protecting the welfare of our country. The strength of the supporting community is a key factor that helps keep them committed. Since the military family is drawn from every area of the United States, the citizens of the United States are that supporting community. By helping the military families left behind, we are in turn helping to build stronger communities for today and years to come. If the parent is strong, then the children can become a strong part of our communities.
Operation Homefront provides emergency and morale assistance for our troops, the families they leave behind and for wounded warriors when they return home. A nonprofit 501(c)(3), Operation Homefront leads more than 4,500 volunteers in 30 chapters nationwide, and has provided critical assistance to more than 45,000 military families. Operation Homefront also hosts the Web community Operation Homefront Online. For more information, please visit www.operationhomefront.net and www.homefrontonline.com.
Every bit counts, even if it is only a few cents. Collectively it all adds up. So while times are tight and funds are low, by purchasing our products you will be helping the fund and eating better yourself. Our goal is to get at least 1% of our country to participate in this cause. When we reach this goal, we have many more exciting surprises in store.
