“Feed the hungry”. John and his beloved wife, Mary, loyal supporters of MACC Charities emergency food pantry for many years, always added these words to any note they enclosed with their gifts. The last card I received was on Saturday, October 4, two days after John had died. I hope many of us will respond to John’s ask, “I will”.

Let’s celebrate this beautiful season together.
I love everything about fall, the incredible smells of apples, cinnamon and pumpkin spice, the warm colors of the changing leaves, and of course the soups and stews that one can make in crock pots.
I will be sharing recipes with you over the next few weeks that will highlight chilies, hearty soups and stews.

Their dedication and eagerness’ to jump in on projects really brings MACC’s Team together.

Tears of Joy erased any need for words to express the heartfelt appreciation I received this past week from a single mother of three who received a MACC starter kit. The starter kit included essential kitchen items including a microwave. The family is able to start a new chapter in life all thanks to the generous donations by our community.

We’re on a roll and getting rave reviews from our customers on this week’s special “duck rolls”, made from scratch by Bee and Michael, our culinary interns. They had fun using duck meat in this creative and tasty manner. Stop in and try them before they are gone. In case you miss them, we are happy to share the recipe.
