The Community Action Center needs a variety of items for children in its summer camp program.

CAC, which serves the Sandy Springs and Dunwoody area, will send more than 100 youth from low-income families to summer camps and also provide supplies and transportation as needed. Funding is also needed to support the camp project, said Kristen Ristino, CAC spokeswoman.

The organization works with a dozen camps to help youngsters experience summer camp at a minimal cost to the family. Donations are being accepted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Monday through Friday at the  1130 Hightower Trail in Sandy Springs.  For additional drop off times call (770) 552-4889. For information visit the CAC Web site at www.ourcac.org.
