Kathy's Circle of Friends

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 varied disabilities has been a part of who we are ever since.

In 2017, the innate passion fueled the formation of Kathy's Circle of Friends. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, KCOF hosts a variety of themed events for adults with various mental and physical disabilities as well as their family, caregivers, PBK employees, and guests. Our mission is to encourage socialization, friendship, and a sense of community. This "play" time builds deeper connections between all involved. We are committed to treating each member with dignity and respect, making a positive impact while growing our circle of friends. 

We also send surprise mailings that include greetings, gifts, and activity packs. Bringing smiles and joy to all within our circle of friends inspires everything we do!

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.
