The First Job is Just the Beginning. The Next Steps Build a Future.
Elias's story shows what's possible when the right opportunities and lasting relationships turn one job
into a pathway to higher wages, career growth, and financial stability.
This Give to the Max Day, November 19, your gift to Daily Work will be matched 3-to-1. Multiplying your impact!
When Elias first came to Daily Work in 2017, he was earning $13.96 an hour. Today, he earns $31 an hour at the U.S. Postal Service, has purchased a home, and is raising three children. Now, he's preparing for his next career move, with Daily Work still alongside him nearly nine years later.
“For almost a decade, Daily Work has been part of my family, Elias said.”

Today, those relationships matter more than ever.
Increased immigration enforcement, threats to vital assistance programs, and rising costs are creating extraordinary challenges for the immigrants and other job seekers we serve. For families already living on the financial edge, one unexpected setback can threaten years of hard-won progress.
Daily Work is responding by investing in skilled staff, professional development, and the resources needed to meet increasingly complex needs. We're also strengthening community partnerships and expanding services like Practice Driving & Road Test Prep and Prosperity Ready... all while sustaining the personalized, long-term support at the heart of our mission.
But meeting growing needs requires dependable financial support.
This Give to the Max Day, your generosity will go further. Thanks to our generous Matching Sponsors, every gift will be matched 3-to-1—supporting the skilled staff, practical resources, and lasting relationships that make stories like Elias's possible.
Give today. Maximize your impact. Because the first job is just the beginning.
The match continues through December 31, 2026, so every gift made before year-end will support more people like Elias.

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!
