Pasadena Village

Katy Townsend, an author and hairstylist, heard about Pasadena Village from a client who happened to be a Villager. She attended a free educational program and joined the Village in February 2024. “It’s been really delightful. I love going to different functions,” Katy said. Soon after joining, life threw Katy a curveball, and she was able to lean on the relationships she had just started to form. “Since my daughter passed away, the Village has been like a family to me. It really affected me, people have been so kind.” Villagers reached out with thoughtful messages of condolence, offers of meals and assistance, and when she was ready to re-engage, she was able to find respite and community at Village gatherings, including the new R&B Groove group.
