Seasons of Hope

Katy Keen, Founder

Katy is our day to day operator, and oversees over all events, projects, public relations, and fundraising. She manages the website, and all social media.  She can be reached at seasonsofhopetn@gmail.com 

Katy says "Many years ago I found myself a single, homeless mom after leaving my abusive, drug addicted husband. This time period of my life inspired me to found and start Seasons of Hope. Using my own experiences and past I implemented programs to help the working poor with diapers, toiletries, feminine hygiene, Christmas and back to school assistance."

Her motto in life is : "Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile."

Katy is also a full time AT&T employee.
