Because Nobody Should Go Without
Nobody should go without food for holiday celebrations, a family dinner, however small. You can help local families and individuals in need this holiday season in a more meaningful way. When you give
Grocery Store Gift Cards from Kroger or Publix, you give families the gift of choice for their holiday celebrations. With your help, CAC would like to distribute at least 500 grocery store gift cards this holiday season to neighbors in need.
Donate gift cards to CAC or make a financial contribution for food cards online at www.ourcac.org

Congregation Members of All Ages Support CAC
CAC
member congregations support CAC in a number of ways. Many give significant financial support, volunteer manpower and in-kind donations to support the Center. Recently, religion students of Temple Emanu-El came together for Mitzvah Day and participated in a number of hands-on projects to benefit CAC families. They bagged rice, assembled toiletry bags, hung racks of clothes and made Thanksgiving greeting cards. CAC welcomes volunteers of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church coming this weekend for service projects.

Local Families Seek Help for the Holidays
The father of this family with 3 boys works at a hotel, but
does not earn enough to cover the family's living expenses. The mother is looking for a job. They are grateful for holiday assistance from CAC.
This family just relocated to the Atlanta area. The father has found a job, but the mother is still looking for work. They are struggling to make ends meet, but optimistic about their family's future here.
This toddler is being raised by his single mother. She works a low paying job and her hours vary. She receives no child support.
