Feeding Our Community

CAC Mini-Markets offer CAC clients fresh produce, meats, dairy products, baked goods, and shelf-stable food items at no cost.

Helping Families Stay in Budget

A family of four can save up to $175 a week when they take advantage of CAC’s supplemental food program.

Just Like a Grocery Store

CAC Mini-Markets operate on a client-choice model that functions just like a supermarket. Clients grab a cart, choose foods based on their preferences, and check out. 

Run by Volunteers

CAC Mini-Markets and pantries are staffed by volunteers that generously donate hundreds of hours each week to help feed our community.

Fresh Foods for Families

CAC Mini-Markets provide more than a regular food pantry, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy products, baked goods, and prepared food items.

You can help prevent hunger locally with CAC!

Food that is donated to CAC goes directly to those in need right here in our community. Your donations allow the CAC’s Food Pantry to provide food to more than 600 families a month, and many come weekly.

Food donations are needed throughout the year to keep the pantry shelves stocked. Donations are especially needed in the summers when the shelves often go bare. Donations from individuals and group food drives are welcome. Financial contributions go even further when CAC buys food in bulk.
