Donors Make Holiday Program Great!

Holiday volunteers took in, sorted and distributed hundreds of gifts. |
Group and individual donors and volunteers made CAC's 2012 Holiday program our most successful yet! More than 1,000 children were adopted for holiday gifts and more than 500 families received boxes of holiday food.

One Family Giving Thanks
 Often the families that we see on a daily basis are in a tough situation, they may have lost a job or income, they may be in fear of losing their home, they may not have enough money after paying rent to buy food or clothes. We give emergency assistance to help families going through a rough patch and give support so they can get back on their feet. One such family recently wrote to us:
"Dear CAC,
Thanks so much for assisting us with our rent and also blessing us with holiday gifts for our children. We had a very blessed holiday season and are very thankful to see a new year! We appreciate everything, may God continue to bless your organization. Thanks again."

VITA Tax Preparer Volunteers Needed
 CAC is in need of volunteers to prepare taxes for lower income residents through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Volunteers need not have prior experience and will be trained for free on simple tax law. Most training takes place online and is available during the month of January. Sign up and find training and certification requirements for the VITA program at www.atlantaprosperity.org and select CAC as your volunteer site. CAC is seeking VITA volunteers who can give 4 hours a week in evenings or Saturdays from 10am-2pm. For more information on becoming a VITA volunteer contact CAC's site coordinator Carlos Diaz at vita@ourcac.org. |

Happy New Year !
Dear Friends,
Thank you for helping us celebrate 25 years of service to the communities of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody and for another great year of helping CAC serve those among us who faced challenges in 2012. You helped us expand to better serve clients and most importantly, you helped us become a client focused organization where everyone is made to feel welcome.
Serving thousands of clients would not be possible without the support of member congregations who founded CAC and sustain it; or without the resources pledged by all of our supporting partners in business, public and non-profit sectors; or without the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who give many hours to this labor of love.
This year we are planning a new community event on May 19 to continue to raise awareness of the needs in our community. Vintage Affair will be back on October 5. We hope to see you at both events, and at CAC throughout the year.
My best wishes for a prosperous and peaceful 2013.
In Service,
Tamara Carrera |
