Please bring your own water bottle. No open-toed or open-heeled shoes. No TOMS or other cloth-like shoes. Wear shoes that are sturdy and appropriate for construction work such as sneakers or boots. Wear clothes that are appropriate for a construction site that you don't mind getting dusty, dirty, or painted on.

What is the overall impact of my volunteer work?
Katy Responds is a volunteer-led organization. Our volunteers keep us going! As a team driven almost entirely by volunteer effort, we truly could not fulfill our mission without their time, talent, and heart. Every project completed and every family served is a direct result of our volunteers' generosity and dedication.
