CAC to Open Branch Office in Dunwoody

CAC announces the opening of a new branch office in Dunwoody, GA. The office will be located at 5 Dunwoody Park #113, Dunwoody GA 30338 and is expected to open in November 2019.

CAC provides basic needs to prevent homelessness and hunger and promotes self-sufficiency. CAC’s new Dunwoody branch office will offer access to families who live in that area, particularly those with no car, to CAC services.  CAC expects to serve about 400 families a year at the new office.

CAC’s Dunwoody branch office location is just north of I-285 off N. Shallowford Rd.  The office is scheduled to be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. At the Dunwoody branch office CAC will:
  • Evaluate clients applying for assistance for basic needs; financial, food and clothing.
  • Register clients that qualify for seasonal programs: Adopt-a-Family, Tools for School, Summer Lunches for Kids.
  • Have a Client Choice Food Pantry on the premise.
  • Provide information on other CAC services such as adult education classes, the thrift shop and free tax return preparation.
CAC is seeking volunteers for Dunwoody branch office.  People interested in volunteering please contact CAC’s Volunteer Coordinator Nolan Feintuch at volunteer@ourcac.org.

This will be CAC’s second branch office. The first CAC branch office was opened in 2018 in south Sandy Springs at 120 Northwood Dr, Suite 234, Sandy Springs GA 30342.  CAC’s headquarters for assistance, adult education and the business office remains at 1130 Hightower Trail, Sandy Springs GA 30350. The CAC Food Pantry and Upscale Thrift Shop are located at 8607 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs GA 30350.

CAC serves neighbors in need in the cities of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody and the area served by Hightower Elementary School in Doraville.

Special Kudos to my friends and Dunwoody residents Anne Hicks & Dick Derrick as well as the other Board Members who made this dream a reality!
