Executive Director/CEO

“So, how are things going with you?” is a question asked by many whom both check in with me and one I ask of others these days. The best response I received was, “well, I had to close my business, but I have my health, I learned a lot, and remain hopeful something better will come from my experience.” #ChooseHope

Shannon Baldassario

Director of Services

Communication is key! The staff at MACC see one another at least five days a week. We all work in different departments and our hours vary. Much of what we do overlaps within each department. The best way to stay effective and get the job done is to all be on the same page. How do you best communicate with your team?

MACC’s Community Kitchen

We are been back to serving hot lunches to both our community and our seniors for about a month. It took a few adjustments to transition from providing our guests with bagged lunches to serving hot meals. I am so proud of our dedicated volunteer groups! They ALWAYS step up to the challenge, no matter the task! Thanks kitchen crew!

Patti Thurlow

Operations Manager

I’d like to give a shout out to our Community Threads Angels.These volunteers come in six days a week to work in the store, help with sales, decorate, and assist our customers. They are a great team of volunteers that work together, and keep the store running smoothly. Community Threads would not be the same without them! Thank you!!!
