food on the table, gas in the tank, or a ride to work

With federal SNAP benefits likely suspended and/or delayed, thousands of Minnesota families are wondering how they’ll put food on the table this holiday season. Larger families with children are especially at risk, as they stand to lose hundreds of dollars of food support every month.  

At Daily Work, more than 90% of our job seekers live at or below the federal poverty line, making this loss of support hit especially hard. When people can’t afford groceries or gas, it becomes nearly impossible to focus on finding or keeping a job.

That’s why we’re asking you to act quickly. From now until Give to the Max Day, November 20, you can help purchase 150 gift cards — $35 each for food, gas, and other essentials. Your gift provides a small but powerful lifeline that brings immediate relief to Daily Work families facing crisis.

Your donation helps families stay fed, fueled, and focused on stability. Every $35 provides one card. A gift of $175 provides five. 

And right now, your generosity goes further. Through December 31, every gift is matched 3-to-1, thanks to matching funds provided by the donors below. 

Together, we can make sure no family in our community goes hungry, or loses their job due to food instability or financial crisis.

About Daily Work

We specialize in assisting job seekers with complex needs and/or facing systemic barriers to employment. Using a person-centered, relationship-based approach, we meet people where they are to help get them where they want to be. We are one of the few employment-service providers focused on serving immigrant communities.

Daily Work is not providing one-way services; we strive to build a shared, inclusive community rooted in empathy, learning and exchange, and collective care. Our holistic, relationship-based approach is more effective at serving those who fall through the cracks in public agency and employment service organizations because they need aid in multiple areas, require ongoing customized assistance, or benefit from culturally responsive services.

National studies have found that culturally grounded, strengths-based community support programs improve employment outcomes, reduce social isolation, and boost overall health and well-being for marginalized peoples.

Some service providers cannot deliver personalized approaches due to restrictions based on funding, employability, skill level, program affiliation, and more. Since Daily Work is almost entirely funded by individual gifts and private foundation grants, it means we can offer unique services and work with job seekers in ways that best suit their needs.

Thanks to our generous funders and volunteers, Daily Work connects people to meaningful employment, and builds community and thriving lives. We appreciate you!
