Otis White's Interview with Kathy Swahn of The Drake House

“Communities Are Built on Care”

As we approach the holiday season, it's a time to reflect on what truly makes a community. It’s not just the buildings or roads—it’s the way we care for each other, especially those in need. On the Community Catalysts   podcast this week, we revisit Otis White’s Civic Strategies interview with Kathy Swahn, then Executive Director of The Drake House in Roswell, Georgia. Kathy’s story is a heartwarming reminder of how compassion and collaboration can transform lives.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
