Kathy's Circle of Friends
Kathy's Circle of Friends
Primitives by Kathy is proud to support local and national charities and programs through volunteerism, benefit products and sponsorships. We offer our customers and our employees the opportunity to support various programs and causes with the purchase of products and acts of service to the community which directly benefit the affiliated charity.
Giving back has been in Kathy’s heart since the very beginning. The partnership with Goodwill Industries is what made Primitives by Kathy possible and the desire to provide opportunity occupationally to those with disabilities has been a part of who we are ever since.
Fueled by this innate passion for providing opportunities to those with varying abilities– in 2017, Kathy’s Circle of Friends was created. Kathy’s Circle of Friends is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded and run by Primitives by Kathy employees who plan bi-monthly themed social events to adults with disabilities – encouraging socialization, friendship and a sense of community.
Visit our website to see what Kathy's Circle of Friends is all about. It truly is amazing to see the joy these events bring to our attendees. Donations and volunteers are also much appreciated and help make these amazing events possible. https://kcof.org
Kathy's Circle of Friends Events
Each event is planned and run by employees who are inspired by the impact and find joy in giving – friendships are formed between the members and with the volunteers.
These events have introduced the members of Kathy’s Circle of Friends to the occupational opportunities at Primitives by Kathy and we’ve welcomed them onto the team in positions where they make impactful contributions to the success of our company each day.
Friendship Heart Gallery Partnership
2019 introduced a collaboration with a Lancaster, PA based art gallery Friendship Art Gallery which provides those with special needs the ability to express themselves creatively and offers opportunities for financial independence. We’re proud to support their mission and offer new collaborative items with designs from these talented artists – many of whom are members of Kathy’s Circle of Friends.
