 News from our Food Pantry

We are very thankful for all the food donations we receive and we give the first and best to our guests. We cannot accept anything expired, opened, leaking, perishables not kept at proper temp, or left outside on our porches during closed hours. They receive their groceries knowing that we choose quality over quantity and that fresh is best! #kindnesswins

“Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care.” — Margaret J. Wheatley

Great change is not quick and usually starts with a thought or idea, shared in small conversations with others until action is the next step. MACC Charities began with small conversations in1973 and it continues to grow and improve with small conversations today. #GreatChangeHappened

Got Masks?? Thanks to the supply department at Manchester Memorial Hospital, our guests will get a fresh new cloth facemask during lunch service this week. With the extension of mask wearing continuing through September, we got you covered! It’s great through these challenging times we continue to meet, greet and build on our community partnerships. Thanks Jim Hunter and MMH!

Bistro On Main

We’re super excited to introduce new menu items this week in Appetizers, Entrees, and Desserts!  Our Salmon Cakes appetizer, which is made in house, is served over a Lemon Caper Sauce and garnished with Arugula dressed in a Lemon Vinaigrette.  Not only do these taste great, but they’re Gluten and Dairy-Free!  Stop by and enjoy these on our new patio!
