Community Action Center of Northfield (CAC)

Every year, the Community Action Center is able to help over 2,500 of our neighbors. Volunteer effort goes a long way, helping us serve those in need.

Meeting Community Needs

The needs of our community are greater than ever. Whether you’re volunteering in our Food Shelf, preparing a meal for Thursday’s Table, helping a family shop for gifts during Operation Joy, or organizing clothes at the Clothes Closet, you’ll be making a positive impact in our community.
