2023 Highlights:
On Sunday, April 16, 2023, we presented Deb McGinn, Program and Development Coordinator at Phoenixville Area Community Services (PACS), with the food and monetary donations we collected in the month of March. We collected 336 pounds of food consisting of over 300 items. MAC donated $1,000 to PACS including our yearly donation and contributions from the congregation. Thank you to all who donated items or money!
In partnership with Christian Education and Sunday School, our children and youth prepared Hot Breakfast Bags for Better Days Ahead (BDA) who distribute food, clothing, and survival gear directly to area houseless and at-risk individuals in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Bags included packs of oatmeal, packs of coffee, tea, cough drops, syrup and coffee cups. A special thanks to L. Hobbins for organizing this!
