At the core of Cara Collective is community. And what better way to honor community than by gathering for our annual #CaraAlumni Picnic. We reconnected, we shared stories, we ate, we danced, and we definitely made it a great day! Thanks to our amazing alumni association for planning a beautiful day together. #ThatsMyFriend #MotivateMe #TheyGotTheJob

“Cara actually saved my life; Cara saved me … There’s got to be a reason for me to be in this program.” Otha was trying to get back on his feet when the house he was staying in was raided. Otha was sure he was going to be sent back to prison; he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then an officer saw his Cleanslate uniform, and everything turned around. Head to our website to read Otha's incredible story of perseverance #ThatsMyFriend https://lnkd.in/gPydbf9f

Through our partnership with Chicago Furniture Bank , we helped 51 our job seekers transform houses into homes, dreams into reality, and opportunity into livelihood. Now we need your help. Today, there are more more than 50 eager job seekers ready to create that home, but there's not enough furniture to go around. Our valued partnership relies on the support of people like you. If you have gently used furniture, live in Chicagoland, and support our mission, we are calling on you. Head to https://lnkd.in/gPBekEnV for a list of accepted donations and to arrange a pickup. #House2Home #Chicago

“But, what really sets Cara apart is that you’re part of a team. Every day the trainers and the Cleanslate crews come in with a smile, everyone is so excited to be there and they’re ready to teach us something."" Marcus' grandkids motivated him to change his life. With the help of the Cara Accelerated Program (CAP), and his dedicated work at Cleanslate, Marcus was able to celebrate graduation with his family. Read the inspiring story of how Marcus set himself on a new path for himself and his family. #ThatsMyFriend https://lnkd.in/gGjUCKM6
