Helping Neighbors in Need in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody

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've changed our name! Community Action Center is now Community Assistance Center! Helping neighbors in need in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody since 1987.

Urgent Request for Food

We have an urgent need for food donations. The Food Pantry shelves are light and we're coming into the slowest time of year for donations. Visit the donation page for a list or urgent needs and the general food drive list.

SOS for Boys Clothing

Clothing donations are down and our boys clothing supplies are running low. Please donate your gently worn clothing and small home goods to CAC. All donations are made available to our neighbors seeking assistance. Visit the Donate Clothing page for donation information and delivery times.
