Clover Area Assistance Center construction updates

CLOVER, SC - Exciting progress is underway at Clover Area Assistance Center (CAAC) as the organization nears the completion of its much anticipated Outreach and Administration Center.

Located behind CAAC’s current building at 1130 Highway 55 E, this new facility will significantly enhance CAAC’s ability to serve the Clover community, providing expanded resources and support for individuals and families in need. 

The Outreach and Administration Center will offer dedicated space for financial management courses, a conference room for community meetings, and administrative offices to better coordinate services. One of CAAC’s key goals is to empower individuals by offering financial literacy education, including budgeting, goal setting, and credit management.

This new space will allow for the expansion of these programs, creating more opportunities for community members to achieve financial stability and independence.

The center will also serve as an outreach hub, offering a welcoming environment where partner organizations can meet with clients, provide services, and collaborate with CAAC to address local needs. With this expansion, CAAC will be able to strengthen partnerships with other social service agencies, further enhancing the support available to those in need. Additionally, this expansion will allow CAAC to make updates to its full-choice food pantry, improving its ability to serve the community more effectively. By enhancing storage and accessibility, the organization will be able to offer a greater variety of food options and improve the overall shopping experience for clients. CAAC is thrilled to announce that the Outreach and Administration Center is now fully funded, thanks to the generous support of Kevin Kirsh and the Kirsh Family Foundation. 

This crucial funding ensures that the project can move forward without financial constraints, allowing CAAC to focus on enhancing services for the community. In recognition of this significant contribution, the conference room in the new building will be named in memory of Kevin’s parents, Herb and Sue Kirsh. The Kirsh family has a long history of dedication to the Clover community, and their contribution will leave a lasting impact on the lives of those served by CAAC. “This donation is a game changer for the organization,” said Cameron Hurst, CAAC’s Executive Director.

The organization is deeply grateful for their support and honored to recognize Herb and Sue Kirsh’s legacy in the new building.” The grand opening of the Outreach and Administration Center is planned for the spring of 2025. This milestone will mark a new era for CAAC, strengthening its ability to provide assistance, education, and outreach to the community.

“The Kirsh Family Foundation’s generosity ensures that this project will be fully funded, allowing CAAC to focus on its mission-helping neighbors in need.

The organization looks forward to celebrating this achievement with supporters, partners, and the entire Clover community. As the project nears completion, CAAC invites the community to stay engaged with its work. Whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word, public support makes a difference. Together, the community can continue to build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient Clover. For updates on the project and information on how ton get involved, community members are encouraged to visit CAAC’s website or follow the organization on social media. The organization looks forward to welcoming the public to the grand opening next spring and celebrating this incredible milestone for CAAC and the Clover community!
