Youth Empowerment & Education

CAFE helps young people build confidence, purpose, and leadership through hands-on learning and mentorship. Our youth programs create safe spaces for teens and young adults to explore careers, develop life skills, and grow as community leaders.

Family Support & Stability

We walk alongside families to strengthen home life, promote stability, and ensure every child has a foundation to thrive. From parenting education to access to basic needs, our family services meet immediate challenges while helping households build lasting strength.

Senior Engagement & Wellness

Older adults are the heartbeat of our community. Through daily programs, nutritious meals, and opportunities for connection, we make sure seniors on the Far Eastside remain active, supported, and surrounded by care.

Financial & Homeownership Coaching

CAFE helps residents create financial stability and independence. Through coaching, workshops, and one-on-one guidance, we empower families to budget wisely, reduce debt, and pursue homeownership with confidence.

Healthy Food & Everyday Essentials

We believe every neighbor deserves access to nutritious food, basic essentials, and the dignity of choice. CAFE’s community pantry, farmers market, and seasonal drives make it easier for families to stay nourished and supported year-round.

Community Connection & Cultural Events

CAFE brings the Far Eastside together through celebrations that honor our culture, creativity, and shared pride. From family festivals to neighborhood gatherings, every event strengthens the bonds that make our community home.

 The Far Eastside Neighborhood Center

The Community Alliance of the Far Eastside features a gymnasium, education and training center, offices, a computer lab, a lactation room, and a nature park. It also houses several of our trusted partners, including Family Development Services/Head Start, La Plaza, and the Damien Center, ensuring families can access vital services all under one roof.
