In its seven years, Ocala's Cameras With A Cause provided Christmas portraits, Santa photos, clothing, snacks and smiles to hundreds of local homeless and low-income families. Dozens of volunteers -- make-up artists, hair stylists, photographers, bakers, Salvation Army staffers, business minds, students, techies and even Trekkies -- assembled each holiday season to make families look their best and take professional portraits to keep and share. So with great sadness and tremendous pride, CWAC has come to an end. It was an extraordinary undertaking at the holidays, and our volunteers will continue to help local nonprofits in other ways and enjoy the holidays with their own families.

Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, Salvation Army partners and, certainly, the sweet families we served. We are incredibly proud of the work we did and the organization's growth. We learned the value of family portraits and the power of self esteem.

God bless this community and the passionate people who make it better.
