Ellen said her partnership with CFAAC gives her a sense of
comfort, knowing that she can rely on a team of professionals
whenever she needs guidance or information about
organizations that address specific community needs.
“CFAAC is the hub for non-profits and the charitably inclined

nonprofits, board members, and even elected officials,” she
said, adding that CFAAC’s Poverty Amidst Plenty Community
Needs Assessment Report is a great resource.
