We want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to Livingston County United Way and our local Hungry Howie's Pizza for generously donating fresh, hot pizzas to our guests at Bethel Suites!
In the words of Eileen: partnership is where it's at. 🍕 🎉

What does it take to truly understand a community's needs? Well, sometimes, it starts with a glass of wine, a few good appetizers, and an honest conversation!
This spring, Community Catalysts took a more intentional step toward connection by hosting a series of four small-group gatherings right here at our Grand River Avenue office.
Here's a little more about that... ⤵

PROUD!!!!!
We are extremely thankful to the Herrick Foundation for investing in capacity building for three Livingston County nonprofit organizations.
Carrie Newstead, Executive Director of Livingston County United Way; Eileen Zilch, CEO of Community Catalysts; and Austin Dunlop, Senior Manager of Fund Development at LACASA were awarded scholarships to attend the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and each of them just successfully completed four courses to obtain certificates in Fundraising Management.
One of our two Housing Mamas, Eileen Moeller Zilch, spent Saturday morning volunteering alongside The Ivy Table at St Josephs Food Bank—and it got us thinking.
Approximately 1 in 9 people in Livingston County experience food insecurity, with nearly 60% of affected residents not qualifying for government food assistance.
Our community has effectively solved the problem of food insecurity, thanks to mobile food pantries, pay-what-you-can restaurant models (Ivy Table!), and years of diligent work addressing the practical needs of our neighbors.
Which makes us think: can we solve the problem of housing insecurity, too? 🏡
We KNOW eliminating housing insecurity isn't a pipe dream. It's a very real possibility, and something we're committed to seeing become real...but we need YOUR HELP to make it happen!
Won't you join us in creating a Livingston County where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home?

Last night, our Grand River office was vandalized, along with several other nearby businesses.
Firstly: all Community Catalysts team members are safe, and the building is being cleaned up as we speak!
What could have been a scary, frustrating situation quickly turned into a blessing and reason for gratitude: within hours of us reaching out for help, local business Kosin's Glass had people on the scene, helping us clean up broken glass, debris, and securing our shattered front door.
THANK YOU, Kosin’s, for being a good neighbor and helping us turn someone’s sad choices into an opportunity for thankfulness and community support! 🙌🏽
We hope to have our office restored soon—but in the meantime, if you’re looking for a company to help with some glass repair, we know a guy. 😉
