CAC is the primary human services organization that helps Sandy Springs and Dunwoody neighbors facing financial hardships or unexpected emergencies. Founded in 1987, CAC prevents homelessness and alleviates hunger by providing basic needs assistance (food, clothing, and financial assistance for rent/utilities) while continuously engaging clients to work towards greater self-sufficiency through classes, workshops, career coaching, and other programs. CAC employs a team of ~20 full-time employees to direct our efforts, recruiting professionals that contribute to meaningful change in the community. Every conversation that we have and every task that we do directly leads to a better situation for our neighbors. If you have the right skill set, a can-do attitude, and a big heart, there’s no better place to work than CAC.
