News from our Food Pantry
One might hear about a food drive and think “oh good! The pantry is full!” Since the pantry serves 155 families a week it needs replenishing more often than you may think. If you have been wanting to help, but don’t know how, consider having a neighborhood, work or school food drive. It is a great way to give back! Contact Us

Got Shares? All gifts are perfect in size and make for light work. Gifts of time, talent and treasure are all needed to carry out our mission, so we are grateful that we now have the ability to accept gifts of stock. We could do little without community partnerships and are thankful we have not been put through that test.

Director of Services
With the changing of the seasons and the economic set back due to the current pandemic, households are presented with the challenges of utility affordability. Our Community Outreach and Emergency Services department is working vigilantly to help area residents with the energy assistance they need. Individuals can contact our office to review available options based on their individual immediate need.

Football season is now here, and there is nothing like making a hearty meal to share with family and friends. One of my crowd-pleasing meals can be found in The Taste of MACC cookbook, “Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta Dish”. The great compliments and no leftovers were all I needed to let me know that I should make it again this season.

Winter is coming. Dreaded words for many, especially someone that doesn’t have a warm jacket. We ask you to put yourselves in their shoes. MACC Charities takes GENTLY USED, CLEAN COATS and will give them out to someone in need. Gloves, mittens, hats, and scarves are always in need, and we run out by mid-December. #kindnessWins what this world needs.

Outreach Case Worker
Summer is slowly coming to a close, trees will be turning the colors of autumn. Cooler temperatures and wearing a sweater or jacket will be the norm. With colder temperatures staying outside and keeping warm present very challenging situations for those sleeping outside. Connecting individuals to resources and referrals for immediate shelter is our top priority for those in need.
