Bridging the Gap
A single mother with two children lost her job and found herself unable to pay rent and utility bills. In dire straits, she came to CAC for help. CAC assisted her with paying rent and referred her to other agencies to help with utilities. Our client team reviewed her situation, helped her apply for food stamps and gave her food from our pantry to take home that day. She now has a full time job as an office coordinator and is supporting her family. |

Fun and Fashion with CAC!
| CAC volunteer Susan Westmoreland modeled clothing for sale in the fashion show. |
Our Fashion Show & Sale fundraiser on May 26 was a great success! Gals of all ages enjoyed the fashion show and shopped for new designer apparel and consignment quality clothing at amazing prices. Fashion jewelry, hand bags, Jafra beauty products and Stella & Dot Jewelry made it a great girls night out!
Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped organize the event and also to One River Place for hosting CAC. |

Dear Friends,
Summer is upon us and things are heating up at CAC. The food pantry is busy with additional requests for food that typically occurs in the summer months. Youth and Adult Education programs are in full swing. We are in need of food, school supplies and volunteers in all areas. Join us, give a little or give some time and help local families in need.
I want to thank the groups participating in Focus on Kids summer campaign to help children, the volunteers who put together a successful Fashion Show, and the daily volunteers who make CAC run smoothly!
In Service,
Tamara Carrera
Executive Director |
