Community Assistance Center (CAC), LaAmistad, and Los Niños Primeros are making their return to south Sandy Springs at a new multi-use project on Northwood Drive.
The organizations will occupy adjacent spaces at 120 Northwood Drive in the bottom level of the project, which also includes a storage rental business, retail spaces and a small park. They’ll celebrate the reopening with a ribbon cutting and open house on April 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We are excited to be back together again in adjacent spaces in the new development” said Pam Jones, CAC development director. “The three organizations have a history of collaboration and expect to better serve local residents through a sharing of space and cross organizational referrals.”
CAC’s South Sandy Springs Branch improves access for nearby residents. It will offer client assistance services, a food pantry, and adult education classes. It will be open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers are being sought for client interviews and the food pantry. If you are interested, email volunteers@ourcac.org.
