Reaching Out to Families in Need

Each holiday season CAC reaches out to local families who sought assistance from CAC during the year. Their stories vary, many have lost jobs, or lost work hours. They can't find employment or are under-employed. Some receive no child support or struggle on fixed incomes. Others face illness and mounting medical bills, while some faced tragedy such as fire or death in the family. We also reach out to you to help give these families an extra bit of help during the holidays by adopting a family for gifts or giving holiday food or grocery store gift cards. Your generosity gives local families in need not only food and gifts, but hope and support from neighbors who care.

CAC makes it easy for you to help local families in need this holiday season. 

Adopt-a-Family

Give children holiday gifts from their wish lists and help a local family that is struggling to make ends meet this holiday season. Deliver gifts to CAC by Dec. 14. Adopt-a-Family online today! 

Holiday Food 

CAC is in need of give grocery store gift cards in $10 denominations to give to clients. Or donate Holiday Food, through Dec. 21. Visit www.ourcac.org for details.

CAC's reception area and client interview offices received a much needed make-over thanks to a donation of sleek, modern office furniture from Holy Innocent's Episcopal Church. What a difference it has made to our volunteers and clients who use the updated space every day!

  

Georgia Gives Day is an opportunity for everyone, in every corner of the state to support the causes that make Georgia great.  

We hope you will take part in this event by supporting CAC, your local non-profit that helps neighbors in need right here in our community! Donate online on Thursday, December 6 at www.gagivesday.org
