Recent Highlight

Early last week, several CAC staff members and interns from the Mental Health, Multidisciplinary, Family Resources, and Data programs volunteered at the Wynn Foundation's bi-annual Feed The Funnel meal-packing event.

The team was joined at Encore Boston Harbor by nearly 100 volunteers from other local non-profits funded by the Wynn Foundation and Encore staff. The three-day, multi-shift event aimed to package 500,000 protein-packed, nutritious, and easy to prepare meal bags for local food pantries.

Many of the families who come to the CAC experience food insecurity, so we were thrilled to help pack 100,000 meal bags for the local community during our shift.

Staff Spotlight

During this time of reflection and gratitude, we are grateful for so much, but particularly:

Our compassionate staff who are the heart of the CAC's free, expert services.
The interns and Co-Ops from local universities who come to us to learn how to be the best from the best in this field.
Our partners in healthcare, law enforcement, child protection, education, and beyond.
Our Board of Trustees, whose unwavering commitment to supporting the CAC's success is unmatched.
Our supporters -- individual donors, foundations, corporations, marathon runners, and so many more.

We could not do this work without each and every one of you!

Community Connections

Earlier this month, the CAC's Chief Program Officer Beth Bouchard read "Don't Hug Doug" to the morning story time group at the Brighton Branch of the Boston Public Library.

This was part of the CAC's Body Safety Story Time series, which will continue at various locations across Suffolk County in the New Year.
