The Arc of Katy

All people deserve opportunities for connection, growth, and purpose.

Since 1989, The Arc of Katy has filled the gap that many families face when high school ends and structured supports fade for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Today, The Arc of Katy is proud to provide high-quality, affordable programs that encourage connection, foster independence, build confidence, and support families across Fort Bend, Waller, and Harris Counties. Our mission is to provide opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities that enable each person to be included as a respected and active member of the community throughout their lifetime.

Learning new skills. Creating something with your own hands. And discovering just how much you’re capable of. 🧡🔨

Our participants have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming Pick-a-Dilly Market, and this week that meant learning some woodworking skills! With a little guidance from one of our amazing parent volunteers, Walt (Ben’s dad), participants learned how to safely use a drill press to create the holes for these colorful handmade bird feeders.

Walt is one of those volunteers who quietly makes The Arc of Katy better in countless ways. You can find him here most days beautifying our landscaping, helping with building maintenance, sharing his skills with our participants, or simply stepping in wherever he’s needed. We are incredibly grateful for him!

But our favorite part of these photos? Seeing what our participants can do when they are given the opportunity, the tools, and someone willing to teach them. They aren’t just making something to sell—they’re learning new skills, building confidence, and taking pride in creating a finished product themselves.

And just look at how cute these bird feeders turned out! 💙💛💜 You’ll be able to purchase them at The Arc of Katy’s booth at the Pick-a-Dilly Market on October 17. Every purchase supports the programs that make opportunities like these possible.

What a year of impact at The Arc of Katy! 🧡

We are proud to share our 2025–2026 Annual Impact & Stewardship Report, celebrating a year filled with meaningful experiences, new opportunities, lasting friendships, and incredible community support.

Behind every number in this report is a person, a story, and a life enriched through connection, inclusion, and opportunity. From the accomplishments of our participants to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, families, and community partners, there is so much to celebrate!

As we reflect on all we accomplished together, we're even more excited about what lies ahead. We're building on this momentum and continuing to create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live active, fulfilling lives as valued members of our community.

We invite you to take a few minutes to explore the report and see the impact YOU helped make possible.

💪🧡 This is what the power of community looks like!

We are incredibly grateful for our growing partnership with BONA Fitness! Our participants have been spending time at the gym, where BONA’s amazing trainers welcome them, encourage them, and make fitness fun and accessible. We love seeing our participants challenged, supported, and celebrated each time they walk through the doors.

But this partnership extends even further. Through The B.O.N.A Foundation, BONA invests in programs that help young people build strong futures through fitness, nutrition, education, and leadership—empowering them to become confident, healthy servant leaders in their communities.

And now, there’s another wonderful connection between our organizations: BONA has purchased both of the buses The Arc of Katy recently retired and is repurposing them to transport children participating in their camps! We couldn’t think of a better next chapter for buses that carried our participants on so many adventures over the years. 🚌🧡

A very special thank you to Keith and Dawn Scruggs for their leadership, generosity, and commitment to our participants and our community. Partnerships like this are a reminder of how much more we can accomplish when local organizations come together to support one another.

Thank you, BONA Fitness, for being such an incredible partner and friend to The Arc of Katy. We can’t wait to see where this partnership takes us next!

Today we are excited to celebrate Dawn, an Arc Instructor whose warmth and dedication brighten The Arc of Katy.

Dawn loves spending quality time with the participants, getting to know them and growing alongside them. For her, this work is about serving the community in a way that truly matters, and she says her job never feels like work because she gets to spend her days with some of the best people she knows. She often shares how blessed she feels to be at The Arc, where participants face life with joy, kindness, and open, loving hearts, always cheering each other on.

That spirit of connection and gratitude is something Dawn brings to The Arc community every day.

Fun fact: Dawn's favorite place to be is at the beach with her guys.
