A Client Story: Bridging the Gap
A single mother with two children lost her job and was unable to pay her rent and utility bills. In dire straits, she came to CAC for help. Upon reviewing her situation we gave her immediate temporary assistance so she could avoid eviction and also assisted her with obtaining longer term assistance so she could make ends meet. CAC assisted with paying her rent and referred her to other agencies to help with utility bills. Our client team helped her apply for government food stamps, gave her food from our pantry to take home that day and gave her weekly food pantry vouchers. We also gave her vouchers for clothing from the CAC Thrift Boutique for herself and her children. CAC helped bridge the gap for this family, helping to keep them in their home during their time of need. She now has a full time job as an office coordinator and is supporting her family.
We’re running out of stuff.
