Executive Director/CEO

What is so great about being a local mission? It is the ability to know your neighbor and extend a helping hand to someone next door, as it were. Kindness tends to develop within caring communities where people take responsibility for each other. Empathy promotes compassion, which is contagious when practiced and prevents emergencies from becoming systemic in nature. #KindnessWins

Chef Ferdinand Cruz

Community Kitchen Head Chef

In the past, we’ve had Girl Scout groups decorate the lunch bags that we use for our community lunches. Just recently, one of our volunteers, Dan Niedzwiecki, suggested bringing bags down to his church so that the children could decorate some of them. A big thanks to the Children’s Sunday School and Youth Group at First Baptist Church of Manchester.

Patti Thurlow

Operations Manager

During the summer, MACC is fortunate to have a handful of kids (ages 14 to 16) come to us to volunteer. One volunteer, Cameran, came to us because his mom wanted him to learn about volunteering and how much others are in need. Cameran has since learned so much and has become a great addition to MACC! Thank you Cameran!

Timothy Bohr

Community Outreach and Emergency Services Manager

I continue to see increases in homelessness, rent, mortgage, and utility struggles from families throughout Manchester. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to assist neighbors facing such stressful obstacles. However, I couldn’t do it without the help and support of various town agencies that we work closely with on a daily basis. With these partnerships, we succeed together for Manchester citizens.
