Community Assistance Center Needs Donations, Volunteers

The Community Assistance Center, which serves Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, is asking residents to help it provide others with a comforting holiday season.

The organization is asking the public to make monetary or food donations, adopt a family for holiday gifts or buy grocery store gift cards to help provide a meal to those in need.

Community Assistance Center is also seeking winter clothing, including children’s coats and jackets and men’s hats and gloves. It also needs gently worn girls’ clothing in all sizes (infant – 14) and boys clothing in sizes 2T - 7/8.

These donations allow CAC to help clothe about 545 residents each month.

Those items can be donated anytime between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday at its facility located at 1130 Hightower Trail.

For those who would rather donate their time, Community Assistance Center is looking for volunteers to work in its food pantry to weigh and receive donations from 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and to stock shelves and pack bags from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Volunteers must commit to at least one shift per week.

Anyone interested in volunteering can email volunteer@ourcac.org. For more information about the organization, visit CAC’s website.
