THANKSGIVING isn’t just a day! The month of November is where all of us here at MACC are thankful for those who make the holiday season memorable. Through volunteering during extended holiday hours, packing baskets, participating in our annual emergency of Hunger food drive, and donating to our Emergency Food Pantry. SHOUT OUT AND THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS! #Thanksgiving always!

Giving Tuesday is November 30th Giving Tuesday was created to help the “giving season” start, reminding people that there is more to holidays than consumerism and commercialization. It is also an excellent time to remind people that MACC Charities is more than providing basic emergency needs; it is about building partnerships to break cycles of poverty in our community. #ItTakesACommunity
Shannon Baldassario
Director of Services
The overwhelming generosity and support we’ve received over this last year has given MACC the resources to respond to the emergency needs within the community we serve every day. It’s a reminder of how thankful we are to be here for those in need. Sending warm heartfelt wishes to our community, may this week of Thanksgiving be a blessing. #BeyondThankful

There is an incredible effectiveness in being of service to others during times of need. Whether it’s an ear to listen or assisting them with navigating through unfamiliar situations. Getting out into the community has strengthened our available resources, allowing us to grow as our support for the work we do has. For that we are thankful! #Thankful
