The Community Assistance Center, located in Montgomery County, embodies Concern for Community, one of the core principles that guides all cooperatives. Since 1981, the nonprofit organization has been helping individuals and families during times of financial instability.
Through the center, Montgomery County residents in need can apply for assistance with necessities like food, clothing, housing and utilities. Applicants can schedule appointments to meet with a CAC case manager to discuss their needs and determine a course of action to help them get back on their feet. The local nonprofit provided more than 25,000 services to the community last year.
