From the Executive Director
Dear Friends of CAC,
Here it is, fall already! So far this year you have helped CAC provide for 950 visits a month to the food pantry, give clothes to 250 individuals a month and help 85 families a month with emergency financial assistance. You helped us give children school supplies, summer camp experiences and summer lunches. Meanwhile, our annual benefit, the Vintage Affair is soon on November 5 (hope to see you there!) and our holiday program to help local families is about to kick off. Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, groups and sponsors who make all of this possible for our neighbors in need.
In Service,
Tamara Carrera |

Temple Sinai Food Drive Fills Pantry
On Saturday, October 8, the members of Temple Sinai in Sandy Springs celebrated Yom Kippur with a food drive for CAC. They filled two truck loads and unloaded 550 bags of food at the CAC Food Pantry, refilling the almost empty shelves. This large annual food drive helps restock the CAC pantry at a time when donations are very much needed.

Turner Volunteers Come to CAC! 
CAC welcomed 30 volunteers from TBS on their day of service in September. In one day the Turner employees reset the Thrift Boutique from Summer to Fall merchandise! They also worked in the food pantry and in the client office. Thank you TBS!
