MAC has a food pantry that provides non-perishable food for households experiencing a temporary shortage. Even though MAC’s clients are below the poverty line, many are not eligible for food stamps. When a loss of income or unexpected expense occurs and food runs out, they need help with putting food on the table. Last year, MAC provided 4,676 bags of groceries to 1,241 people in need, including over 500 hungry children.

“I came to Midtown Assistance Center because I truly needed help. I was laid off from my job. I did not have substantial savings. My expenses kept rolling in. I needed help desperately. I came and followed the procedures and MAC helped me put food on the table for my family. This is a godsend and I appreciate it greatly.” - MAC Client

Midtown Assistance Center (MAC) provides emergency assistance to the working poor of Atlanta during periods of temporary financial crisis. MAC believes that in order for families to prosper in the community, basic needs must be met. When MAC helps a family with food, a child can go to school with a full stomach and parents do not have to worry about deciding between putting food on the table or paying rent. When basic needs are met, families get through temporary crises so they can thrive in their community and be economically independent.
