The Selfless Change-maker: Kait Heard
Amidst the daily grind of life's demands, there exists a powerful force—a beacon of hope and compassion named Kait Heard. Kait's journey is not defined by personal gain, but rather by selfless service and making a real difference in her community. From her role on Culinary Care's Associate Board to volunteering as a Meal Delivery Angel, Kait is crucial to our mission and helps fill hearts with hope and plates with nourishing meals. As the Manager of Strategic Talent Operations at Milhouse Engineering & Construction, Inc., Kait is proud to work for a company that also prioritizes giving back.
For Kait, diving into community work is also about expanding her horizons and getting to know the incredible people around her.
"You really don't know what others are experiencing, so the opportunity to voluntarily step up for my community teaches me so many things about myself and the world around me. The more I serve, the more I get curious about other opportunities to serve and make an impact for our communities."
With a heart as big as her appetite for change, Kait believes that small acts of kindness can have a huge impact.
"My hope is that if we all just give a little back to each other, the world will be a better place. It can be hard to ask for help, so when we serve, we are helping those afraid to speak up."
Her work with Culinary Care is especially close to her heart.
"It's amazing how something as simple as a meal can make such a difference.”
And she's right—by providing nourishing meals to cancer patients and their families, Kait is spreading love, joy, and hope when it's needed most.
So, here's to Kait Heard, the ultimate example of kindness! During National Volunteer Week, let's give her a massive round of applause for all she does. With her passion and dedication, Kait is making the world a brighter, happier place!
