This place is spectacular. The food is high quality, and they even have food for people with special needs, like Diabetes. I received vitamins for my son. The staff is very polite. The discount store that has furniture and clothes should be visited, the clothes are in good condition. Furniture etc. It is a blessing that Sandy springs has this community outreach center.

I have nothing but “GREAT” things to say and share about this nonprofit organization. When you’re at your lowest, the help, compassion and kindness that I received was a blessing! I am the one who normally donated to CAC. However, I fell on bad times and they treated me as a human, not a vagrant! EVERYONE from those in the financial office, food bank, and clothing facility was absolutely phenomenal! I sincerely thank you ALL! I wish more people would give to this non-profit organization! THEY ARE SO WORTHY OF BEING BLESSED ABUNDANTLY, FOR HOW THEY TREAT AND HELP PEOPLE! Thank you kindly.
