Tamara Carrera, executive director for the Community Action Center, has been named the 2012 recipient of the Sandy Springs Humanitarian Award. The award was presented Monday as part of the city's annual Martin Luther King Day celebration.
Carrera began with the CAC as a volunteer and helped develop a thrift boutique to complement the organization's food pantry and education center.
Last year, the CAC served more than 2,200 families and is supported by volunteers who devote almost 13,000 hours a year.
