Struggling to meet basic needs takes a toll on wellbeing and mental health. Things such as housing, groceries, or access to recreational activities are things many of us take for granted, but for some, these are daily challenges. At Camino we understand that when basic needs are met, people can better focus on their wellbeing and mental health. This is why the Camino Cares Fund, made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors, is here to assist program participants with needs that extend beyond the scope of our services or other community resources.

The fund was created not only to meet immediate needs that impact overall wellbeing, but also to help recipients celebrate what is important to them. Whether it is providing grocery money for a family, or covering an aspiring student’s university entrance exam fee, the fund allows participants to take direct action. It helps alleviate some of the stress of life’s challenges, so they can focus on their wellbeing journey.
