CalWORKs & CARE

Adopt A Family

California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) is a public assistance program providing financial support for low-income parents and their children.

Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) supports EOPS students who are single parents receiving cash aid through CalWORKs or Tribal TANF.

What is Adopt A Family?

Each year, the CalWORKs & CARE programs host Adopt-A-Family to support our student parents during the holiday season. For many of our families, the added financial pressure at this time of year can be overwhelming. Adopt-A-Family helps ease that burden by connecting generous campus and community members with students who could use extra support.

Through this program, donors can adopt a child, adopt an entire family, or contribute through direct donations. Every act of giving brings joy, stability, and relief to student parents working hard to pursue their educational goals.

Our CalWORKs & CARE families regularly share that Adopt-A-Family provides more than gifts—it creates a sense of belonging, hope, and community connection during a time that can feel challenging. We are grateful each year for the generosity that makes this event so meaningful, and we invite you to join us in this special tradition.
