At Cara Collective, we serve more than 350 job seekers every month, and right now, one of the biggest challenges they face isn’t just finding a job — it’s putting food on the table. With the current government shutdown and planned cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the need for food support is growing rapidly. Many of our job seekers are struggling to access food for themselves and their families.  

To ensure our job seekers can feed themselves and their families, we are launching an Emergency Assistance Fund to help provide needed resources to support our job seekers struggling with food insecurity. Every contribution helps our job seekers focus on finding employment — not worrying about where their next meal will come from.
