Phil Leggett
Pantry Manager
Giving a Huge shout out to Borgida & Company in Manchester…. On November 22, 2021 their crew delivered to MACC a generous donation of canned and non- perishable food items along with a beautiful monetary donation of $2,500.00 that will directly benefit our families. Thank you for being a wonderful partner in our community and our fight against hunger! #TakesACommunity
Beth Stafford
Executive Director/CEO
All in a day’s time is what a woman told us when she and her husband delivered two full boxes of hand-crocheted stuffed animals for the children we serve. Ms. Barbara crochets one “lovey” a day. MACC, police, and medical response teams will use these loveys to delight and comfort children who are experiencing hunger, physical or emotional pain. #KindnessWins
Shannon Baldassario
Director of Services
Our Emergency Service Department offers assistance to households in an emergency crisis. The winter moratorium program for eligible households (“financial hardship”) are protected against heat AND non-heat source shut offs between 11/1 and 5/1. This protection is guaranteed for all eligible customers by Connecticut Statute and cannot be denied, regardless of shut offs, nonpayment, or any other reason. Keep Warm!
Chef Ferdinand Cruz
MACC’s Community Kitchen
They say teamwork, makes the dream work! Well anyone who’s ever volunteered here at MACC knows whole heartedly that we succeed through teamwork. Between the hours of 11-1130AM the kitchen crew ramps up for service, we gather assorted breads, desserts, cold beverages. We also assemble the hot meals that we hand out and provide for our community. Kudos Team Kitchen!

Operations Manager
Linda Anderson is a member of Thrivent Financial. Through Thrivent financial, Linda was able to apply for a Community Impact Card. Linda reached out to me and we decided the best use of the card would be for warm winter hats, mittens, and boots for our community! Thank you Linda for wanting to help MACC keep our Community warm!
