How To help
Volunteer
The CAC is a primarily grant funded organization that relies on fundraisers and donations to make ends meet and to be able to begin new programs and activities. In order to make our fundraisers possible, we rely on volunteers to help sell tickets, run booths, and do other assorted jobs. If you are interested in volunteering with the Child Advocacy Center, please email sgauthier@cac-lincolncounty.org for more information!
Host an Educational Group
The CAC is happy to be able to provide the Stewards of Children, Recognizing and Reporting, PANDA (Prevent Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness), and Monique Burr classes to community groups free of charge. Contact us at (704) 736-1155 to set up your educational group with your community
Host a Fundraiser
Some of our best fundraising ideas come from volunteers. Schools, church groups, and other clubs and groups can choose to raise funds or collect donations in many ways in order to support the CAC. Get creative!
Donate Monetarily
If you don't have time to volunteer or don't have a group with which to develop your own fundraiser, a monetary donation is always a great option! We accept checks, cash, and paypal. Links to our Paypal will be found on our Home page. Remember, every little bit helps!
Sponsor Jake
Jake, the CAC facility and therapy dog needs sponsors to help him through his career at the CAC. We are looking for monetary donations for his steady supply of food, treats, training, therapy dog vests, and toys to keep him engaged and entertained as he is still a puppy! If you would like to be a sponsor of Jake, please donate using the button below and specify in the note section, you want your donation to go to Jake! Remember, every little bit helps!
