Community Assistance Center opens Empowerment Center

The Community Assistance Center brought its career and adult education services together with the grand opening of its Empowerment Center on Nov. 13.
Executive Director Francis K. Horton III said the Empowerment Center was the first project completed in its $18 million, three-year Compassion in Action capital campaign.
