The Midtown Assistance Center (MAC) is a non-profit, interfaith organization whose mission is to provide emergency assistance to the working poor of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta. MAC’s aim is to help prevent homelessness and hunger during periods of crisis.
The Midtown Assistance Center, with the support of donors and volunteers, has helped in over 95,500 emergency situations by providing men, women, and their children with rent and utility assistance, groceries, work clothes, transportation to employment and interviews, counseling and referrals to other services.
MAC assists those who are:
- Employed, but facing a temporary crisis such as sickness, temporary cutback in hours or layoff
- Working, but have not yet received a paycheck
- Completing job training and are not receiving public assistance
Support for the Midtown Assistance Center comes from eleven Atlanta congregations, who provide annual pledges, food drives, volunteers and Board representatives. MAC has a strong relationship with, and is also supported by, the Midtown Alliance and the local business community. Since local congregations provide MAC’s office space, utilities, and fund much of MAC’s operational costs, 100% of your donation will go directly to client support unless otherwise specified.
