Prepare a Child for School
You can send a child to school prepared to succeed by donating school supplies to CAC.
Donate new back packs, supplies or both! About $50 fills a back pack with required supplies.
CAC works with schools in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody to provide supplies to students and teachers. A list of needed school supplies is available on the CAC website. Make donations at CAC, 1130 Hightower Trail, Sandy Springs, M-F 10am-4pm or call to arrange a time (770) 552-4889. |

Dear Friends,
Part of our mission is to enrich the lives of children. And what better way than to have kids helping kids!
This summer we have a great group of youngsters interning and volunteering to help CAC provide hundreds of local children with summer camp experiences, summer lunches, and new back packs filled with school supplies.
Thanks to our kids and our donors who are making CAC's Focus on Kids campaign a success!
In Service,
Tamara Carrera
Executive Director |
