Help a Family Stay in their Home for the Holidays
You can help a local family stay in their home this holiday season with the Community Assistance Center. CAC assists local families in need who are experiencing a crisis situation such as illness or job loss that is making it difficult for them to meet their basic living expenses. Your donations help families stay in their homes with rent and/or utility assistance and help provide stability to our neighbors in need when they have nowhere else to turn. Just $100 pays a utility bill, $250 helps pay rent. Every dollar donated is leveraged into much more with grants and volunteer man-power to help prevent homelessness and hunger locally.. Donate online at www.ourcac.org.
