MACC has below market-rate housing. Six previous tenants are now homeowners. If you share our commitment to housing, please help us update our houses that were built in the 1920’s and are showing their age. We do not want to pass the cost of repairs on to our tenants who are trying to rebuild their lives. Will you help us?

Director of Services
Thank you! A gesture of appreciation from a simple two worded saying. The words can go a long way towards improving morale and overall happiness for yourself and others. When a volunteer or staff member goes above and beyond their daily tasks, we want to express our gratitude for what they’ve done and acknowledge the help they have extended. #ThankYou

MACC’s Community Kitchen
Gathering around the campfire telling stories and roasting sweets are memories I will cherish with my children for a lifetime. Just this past week I gathered all the ingredients for Campfire S’mores Banana Boats. YUM! Whipped up a side of vanilla gelato for added flavor and my kids devoured them. Quick Tip: You can also bake these in the oven!
Recipe: Campfire S’mores Banana Boats
Ingredients:
4 Bananas
½ Cup Chocolate Chips
½ Cup miniature marshmallows
½ cup crushed Golden Grahams Cereal
Steps
- Cut 4 (12-inch) sheets of foil
- Make deep lengthwise cut along inside curve of each banana, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open slit to form pocket.
- Fill each banana with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons marshmallows and 2 tablespoons cereal.
- Wrap each banana in foil, making sure that foil opening is on top. Using tongs, set wrapped bananas in coals of campfire; cook 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove from fire; peel back foil.
Oven Bake Option: Pre-heat oven to 350 F and place on cookie sheet in oven for 15-20 minutes.
