November Missions Spotlights
The Child Advocacy Center
The Child Advocacy Center was founded in Fayetteville in 1993 by a group of concerned local professionals seeking to coordinate services provided to child abuse victims and their families. The CAC provides a safe, child-friendly environment where professionals from community agencies come together to interview, investigate and provide support for these abused children and their families. The Child Advocacy Center uses a coordinated approach to reduce the number of forensic interviews for child abuse victims by coordinating multidisciplinary team reviews where professionals from multiple agencies come together to plan the best course of legal and supportive action. The CAC also provides mental health therapy sessions, both individual and group, to these child victims. National research has determined that this approach can help alleviate trauma for children, increase the prosecution rate of perpetrators, and be fiscally beneficial to the community. It is estimated that the CAC approach saves the community approximately $600,000 per year! To learn more about the CAC or to find ways to get involved visit www.cacfaync.org
The Society of St. Andrew
The Society of St. Andrew (SoSA) addresses hunger in America in two ways. In each, SoSA gathers up food that would otherwise be wasted. This fresh and nutritious food is then provided, at no cost, to food banks, pantries, and programs that feed or provide food to those most in need:
In the fields - SoSA mobilizes 30,000 to 40,000 volunteers each year to glean fields and orchards for remaining fruits and vegetables. Volunteers gather food remaining after the harvest collecting more than 20 million pounds.
At the packing houses - food that is surplus, inconvenient size, or cosmetically imperfect, is transported by SoSA to agencies that feed the hungry. Otherwise, this food would have been shipped to a landfill as waste.
SoSA began in 1979 in the hills of Virginia and has grown into the largest field gleaning organization in the country. Working in a collaborative effort with thousands of farmers, tens of thousands of volunteers, and thousands of feeding programs in all 48 contiguous states, SoSA provides healthy food to those who have little or no access to it.
