For 50 Years, Community Assistance Council (CAC) has been a trusted resource for South Kansas City.

Your generosity helps us provide essential services — from rent and utility assistance to food pantry access, case management, education, and community partnerships that strengthen families and create lasting impact.

When you give, you’re not just making a donation — you’re investing in hope, stability, and opportunity for your neighbors.
