This summer donors like you came together to provide school supplies to about 750 local children in need for the start of school this month! They also provided children with 1,266 Summer Lunch Bags, each containing 5 lunches for a total of 6,330 lunches! CAC is grateful for all of the individual donations, a very generous anonymous matching grant and the many volunteer groups that helped assemble and distribute the bac kpacks and lunch bags!

About 20 managers from Publix recently met at CAC for their annual United Way Campaign kick-off meeting. The managers spent time with representatives of United Way of Greater Atlanta and CAC. They toured CAC and learned about the food pantry, financial assistance and the CAC Boutique. The managers also volunteered their time helping with CAC projects and working in the food pantry. CAC welcomes groups from businesses, civic organizations and schools for tours and volunteer projects. Contact Debbie at volunteer@ourcac.org. 

A local mother set out to find a way to give her children hands on opportunities to help others in their community. As a result, Sally Mundell, a member of Temple Emanuel in Sandy Springs, founded The Packaged Good. The nonprofit aims to instill in children the desire to help others while inspiring the next generation of giving. The organization works with individuals, families and corporate groups to assemble, decorate and personalize care packages for people who need them. They recently partnered with CAC to assist CAC clients. She and her daughters brought about 200 toiletry kits for adults and school supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste and toys for kids. Temple Emanuel is one of 28 CAC member congregations that provide support in many ways.
