CAC Member Congregations Step Up
Thanks to three area congregations, our neighbors in need can visit CAC on the first three Saturdays every month. For several years now, members from
Sandy Springs Christian Church and
Rivercliff Lutheran Church have been volunteering one Saturday a month each to open the Center. They answer phones, conduct interviews, staff the thrift shop and the food pantry. In February of this year, congregants from
Temple Emanu-El took on a third Saturday at CAC to help local families. The volunteer manpower from these congregations makes it possible for CAC to have weekend hours!
