Get to Know CAC Upcoming Events
Thanks to our sponsors and all that attended our first annual Circle of Friends Fundraiser!!!
The day was a huge success in
supporting our mission: "To develop economic and social capacities of individuals, families and communities to reduce poverty
in Dane, Jefferson and Waukesha Counties".
Again Thanks for all you support!!!
Welcome!!!
Getting through these last couple of years has been a bit like visiting an amusement park. For many, what was supposed to be a good time turned out to be a terror as they saw their life savings and investments evaporate, and their homes lost to foreclosure. This left many seeking help from CAC for the first time in their lives. For them, wading through an unfamiliar system of supports was discouraging and difficult.
For
most of the people we work with, however, not much has changed. They
don’t have retirement accounts or investments. They still are
looking for work, or better paying work, competing now against even more
applicants than usual. Their housing situation is still precarious
at times, with more people facing eviction. Families are still living
in their cars, often with children in tow. Food pantry usage continues
to climb.
Not all is gloom and doom, however. Along the way, several bright lights have come on. A wonderful partnership with the Madison Community Foundation has enabled us to expand pantry and community gardens throughout Dane County. This brings more fresh produce into the pantries, and by extension, into people’s homes. This food is grown locally, and eaten locally. And children, especially, had more fresh food.
