CAC Cuts Ribbon on New Facility  
 
City leaders and community supporters celebrated the expansion of CAC at a Building Dedication & Open House on May 1, 2018. The new facility at 8607 Roswell Road will allow CAC to serve more residents in need of assistance and allow for the expansion programs designed to promote self-sufficiency.
Thank you everyone who came out for the event!
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:
A family of 6 with 4 children is struggling after one parent's work hours were reduced.  The mother requested from CAC "a little assistance with rent until I transition to new job. I'm in the transition now."
Volunteer Appreciation Lunch 

CAC celebrated volunteers for their service with a luncheon in April at Temple Sinai. All volunteers were thanked for their dedication to CAC. Some were recognized for reaching milestones in years of service and others for special achievements.
