DeDe Cares

DeDe Cares’ mission is to build self-sustaining communities and end the cycle of poverty for households earning 215% or less of the federal poverty line. We empower families through education, health, and community development initiatives that promote stability, opportunity, and long-term prosperity.

DeDe Cares builds self-sustaining communities and ends the cycle of poverty by empowering families with access to education, health, and economic opportunity. Through our three pillars—Health, Education, and Community Development—we connect low-income households with resources that promote wellness, financial stability, and long-term independence.

Our programs provide GED and vocational training, job placement and small-business development, and food and health access for households earning $40,000 or less annually. We believe every family deserves the chance to thrive—without choosing between health, education, or food.
