A huge THANK YOU to Ms. Linda and all of our friends who participated in the Loveyourneighbor PB&J Drive! 🍞🍇

We are so grateful for your generous donation. Our kiddos are going to love enjoying a classic PB&J sandwich!

Donations like these directly support our mission. We strive to fill our weekend food bags with items that are familiar to children and easy for them to prepare on their own.

We are so grateful for your support!❤️

Barber Shop Bible Study is a men's group led by Pastor Blake Melancon. Throughout the past school year, these men made an incredible impact on Cara Caters.❤️

Week after week, they were always ready and waiting to lend a helping hand. We are incredibly thankful for their servant hearts and their love for the children in our community.

We look forward to another great school year working alongside each of them!

If you are a leader in a local organization, part of a group of friends, or involved in another community group and would like to make a meaningful impact in your community, we'd love your help throughout the upcoming school year! Send us an email at [email protected].

We have so much to celebrate in the month of May as we close out another successful school year. Cara Caters hit a new record. Throughout the 2025–2026 school year, we packed and distributed 16,968 bags, which is equivalent to 50,904 meals. We are deeply proud of our growth. These numbers are more than double what we were doing at this time last year. We are honored to serve these children and humbled by the support that continues to pour out for these deserving kidskids❤️

Our annual Polka Parade Party at the Raphael House was such a special day! We loved catching up with familiar friends, meeting new ones, and celebrating together as a community.
