Together we Help Families Stay in Their Homes
When you give your time, talent or treasure to CAC you help local families and individuals facing crisis situations stay in their homes and avoid eviction and homelessness. A little support from CAC goes a long way for those who need help during difficult times as they work to improve their situations, such as this family with 3 children:
My husband lost his job about a month ago and is still in the process of getting another job. Our finances are very limited and we are seeking assistance with food and clothing. Thank you.
