August Update: Catalyst Handle It Projects in Action

Serving Homes, Strengthening Communities

Our amazing Handle It volunteers were hard at work in August, making meaningful home repairs that truly improved lives across our communities! We’re incredibly grateful to these dedicated volunteers who showed up with tools, time, and heart to serve their neighbors in such practical and powerful ways!
