Community Action for Refugee Arrivals (CARA)

January through December 2024: Do-on-your-own donations

CARA Waunakee welcome refugees to their new homes in the Madison area by providing them with furniture, household goods, groceries, a warm meal upon arrival, and personal care items. Their goal is to make refugees’ first few months in the community as comfortable and supported as possible. Their work supports the work of Jewish Social Services (JSS), the only refugee resettlement organization in the Madison area.

CARA makes it easy to donate! Please visit their Donate and Volunteer page for more information on what their current needs are for refugees in 2024. Contact them at CARA.Waunakee@gmail.com with any questions (contact information also available on the CARA website).

Chummy is partnering with CARA in 2024 to help fulfill their donation needs - note that they are in need of donations all year round (not just January)!
