When this is over we can go home to our beds. Patty Farver, a freshman, has been a volunteer for years. Her move from rural Mayville in Chautauqua County to Buffalo, has inspired her to get involved with CAC to help the homeless. But I want to helpQThey're just people. CAC is a grassroots, student-run organization that places more than 200 volunteers each year in Buffalo area hospitals, schools, counseling centers, homeless shelters, and tutoring programs, to name a few.
Members agree that volunteering is beneficial for all involved.
Students can gain experience in their fields of study while achieving the satisfaction of helping the community. The people who have gotten involved are so happy they didQthey realize it takes no time at all. Les Barnes stressed the importance of CAC volunteers to his organization and the community. The CAC is a good group because they promote awareness of poverty issues. They are one dedicated group of kids.
