"ADopt"  a
Family

We have an uptick in families expressing need this season, and currently have 47 on our list! Choose a small (2-3 people), medium (4-5 people), or large (6 or more people) family and purchase items from their wish list. 

Donate
"MAC Sacks"

We give each child in the MAC program a drawstring bag containing both essential and fun items. We are asking for assistance in filling these “MAC Sacks”. We have around 160 students currently enrolled, so we appreciate all the support we can get!

HOST A Drive

We need underwear and socks for children in our MAC Children’s Program (grades K-5) to add to their MAC Sacks and keep on hand to distribute year-round.
