An Interfaith Ministry Providing Assistance to the Working Poor
 
 

Welcome to the Midtown Assistance Center

Welcome

The Midtown Assistance Center (MAC) is a non-profit, inter-faith organization whose mission is to provide emergency assistance to the working poor of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta to prevent homelessness and hunger during periods of crisis.

Since 1986, the Midtown Assistance Center, with the support of donors and volunteers, has helped in approximately 80,000 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.

We assist 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 ten 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 fund MAC's operational costs, all additional donations go directly to client support.

We're helping people who are trying to help themselves.
