CAST is important because it enables neighbors to meet their basic needs including food, clothing, and shelter to ensure their health, safety, and overall well-being. This community organization also provides opportunities for learning and growth to improve economic stability. CAST ensures that no one goes hungry and is food secure and stably housed. We also provide educational and workforce development opportunities as well as benefits assistance and emergency needs for underserved community members.
