Midtown Assistance Center

MAC is thankful to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta for highlighting MAC in #CommunityCauses. Fed assistant vice president and MAC board member, Jennifer Gibilterra talked with our executive director Jennifer Jobson about the power of working together to move our mission forward. The Atlanta Fed’s commitment to community engagement and economic mobility aligns perfectly with our goals of promoting stability and growth for all. We are deeply grateful for this support and look forward to continuing our work together to make a meaningful impact. #CommunitySupport #MidtownAssistanceCenter #EconomicStability #AtlantaFed #CommunityEngagement

Seeking employment is tough enough without worrying about the essentials. That's why MAC steps to help the newly employed obtain clothing items required for employment - footwear and uniform items needed to work in industries like hospitality, construction, and food service. https://lnkd.in/gaWhKihC

As the scorching summer temperatures rise, the demand for electricity to power air conditioning units can be a heavy burden on already tight budgets. The increased energy consumption leads to higher utility bills, leaving families grappling with tough decisions on how to allocate their limited funds. Our goal is to provide assistance to families, ensuring that everyone can stay cool and comfortable in their homes during these sweltering months.
