We respond with a hand up to day laborers, to victims of fires and domestic violence and to families at risk in crisis that need a hand up.
GOAL
- Immediate helping hand without creating long term dependency.
Sustainability: A hand up approach to get those in crisis back on their feet.
Food, Clothing and At Risk Families
Victims of fires and domestic violence receive appropriate number of $25 gift certificates (up to $300/family) to a local resale shop that offers clothing and house wares at discounted prices. Caring Friends is an adjunct partner with CCSC Sunshine Resale Shop.

Food and The Working Poor Day Laborers
Caring Friends buys food at a 70% discounted price from a store concerned for working poor day laborers. Day laborers do not look for hand-outs as they stand for hours looking for outside work in heat or cold.
