Client Testimonies

“I am so grateful for CAC. They have helped my family beyond what I expected.  I didn’t even know about this organization.  It is a blessing to know that others are so willing to help my family.  Every Community needs a place like this."

 

"I would just like to say thank you for all of your help. I was very worried I was not going to be able to get any help or an appointment. I am very thankful for the diapers & wipes. Also, after I am on my feet I would love to help and volunteer if you need it. Thank you again & God Bless."

 

"Through (CAC) I was referred to the “Gift of Sight” program. I now have glasses and can see to read. Thank you so much. Everyone was so nice."
