The partnership between Kendall Miles and Cara Collective is deeply rooted in our shared commitment to Chicago and diversity. Cara Collective, a Chicago-based organization, believes in unlocking the potential of individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty, helping them find pathways to employment and community success. By engaging job seekers, employers, and other organizations across the country, the collective is fueling a courageous national movement to eradicate relational and financial poverty.

“As a Chicago native”, says Kendall Reynolds, founder of Kendall Miles, “...it has always been my mission to give back to my city by connecting with organizations who are committed to serving a diverse group of people.”  Since 2024, the Kendall Miles family has partnered with Cara Collective to provide financial assistance, supporting their vision to build an inclusive economy.
