Renovations to the Community Assistance Center in Sandy Springs began in mid-August, when over 100 people came to a sledgehammer ceremony to kick off the work. The project will allow the center to expand the services it provides to Sandy Springs’ less fortunate residents, as well as those in Dunwoody.
The CAC created a three-year effort to raise $2 million to buy and renovate the Hightower Trail Building, expand its programs, and add two additional locations. Supporters of the fund-raising campaign, who have thus raised $1.525 million in the first year, were among guests at the ceremony. Among those in attendance were Rusty Paul, the mayor of Sandy Springs, The Sandy Springs Society’s president, Elizabeth Kelly; and Dr. Joe B. Martin, from Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church.
Sandy Springs has provided grants annually to CAC since 2005, and The Sandy Spring Society, which is philanthropic in nature, has given CAC annual grants to support its programs and buy equipment. The church helped create the CAC, housed it for many years, and continues to support it.
Today, CAC’s mission remains the same as it did 30 years ago—to help people meet their basic needs, and help them become self-sufficient. Since 1987, CAC has helped community members with clothing, food, and even provides financial help to people can pay their rent or utility bills, and avoid becoming homeless.
Organizations like this might consider creating Brochures for wide distribution, explaining their fund-raising campaign.
