Posted on Sunday, September 22, 2024 by Jack Church

Jack Church talks with Francis Horton, Chief Executive Officer for the Community Assistance Center located in the Atlanta metro area of Sandy Springs, Georgia. Known as CAC, the Center is a resource for providing assistance to people in the Dunwoody and Sandy Springs area facing hunger and homelessness. Horton says the Center continues to see an increase for its' services from working families that are struggling to keep up with rising rents and grocery prices. Despite the increased demand, Horton says the center is keeping up with demand but finds the trend very troubling.
