Your Donations Help Families Stay in Homes    
 
When you donate to CAC you help families and individuals in our community who are facing crisis situations and have nowhere else to turn for help.  Recent requests for help included:
* An educated single woman lost her job due to side effects from cancer treatments, spent all of her savings on medical care, now has no health insurance and no income for rent or food.
* A family with children struggling to pay a large utility bill to keep heat after having to borrow money for a new furnace.
* A family scraping by after a job loss, found new job and just needs some help with this months rent to avoid eviction.
Please donate today and help one of these families this month or the next family in crisis seeking help. No amount is too small.
