Change for Change — Honoring the Heart of Katie Clark
Katie Kans is a special outreach effort that honors the memory of Katie Clark, who passed away at just nine years old in an automobile accident. Katie spent much of her young life giving back — from making soup and sandwiches for the hungry at Casa Maria Soup Kitchen to sharing her own pocket change with people in need.
Her spirit of generosity lives on every first Sunday of the month when the children of St. Francis gather donations to help neighbors facing hunger in Tucson.
Our Impact
Through Katie Kans, collected change supports local partners making a real difference, including:
• Casa Maria Soup Kitchen — Providing meals and support for the hungry and homeless.
• Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona — Fighting food insecurity across our region.
Katie Kans is a simple way to remind us all that small acts of kindness can ripple far and wide — bringing hope, meals, and compassion where they are needed most.
