Clothed by Faith is a local nonprofit in Katy, TX that provides those in need with gently-used and new clothing. CBF was founded by Abi Fourie in 2013, and for the past 6 years has brought tremendous support to our community. The mission at CBF is to demonstrate God’s love through the provision of a week’s worth of clothing. Both families and individuals can register online or in person to start their own closet based on their needs. Volunteers then create customized care packages with clothes for every age and size.
Clothed by Faith was recently blessed with an anonymous donation facilitated by Kingsland Baptist Church for renovations and upgrades. The renovation has allowed this wonderful organization to expand over the past few months to now include a boutique space, in which women over 18 can schedule an appointment to select their own clothing, shoes, and accessories. This new women’s selection area has been a fantastic new addition, allowing volunteers to provide additional ministry services to the women they are serving. By holding meaningful conversations with the women, the volunteers can identify individual or family needs and refer them to other local non-profits.
In addition to this wonderful new enhancement to their organization, CBF has been offered a fantastic opportunity by Texas Network of Youth Services and Rebuild Texas. TNOYS awarded Clothed by Faith a $50,000 grant to begin working closely with school counselors and homeless liaison officers to identify students and their families that are struggling after Hurricane Harvey. Although Hurricane Harvey had devastating effects back in 2017, many families are still facing homelessness and need the support of this community. Clothed by Faith has many volunteer opportunities in the warehouse, at community outreach events, and even at home! Sign up online at www.clothedbyfaith.org to help serve your community today.
