MACC Charities

St. Paul's is a member of the Manchester Area Conference of Churches (MACC).

MACC gives emergency assistance during times of crisis to individuals and families in the Manchester and Bolton, Connecticut area. MACC help feed and clothe those in need, assure them a warm, safe place to sleep at night, and advocate on their behalf when they are faced with eviction, unpaid utility bills, unaffordable prescriptions, and other issues which affect their basic needs.

MACC does not believe in hand outs, but firmly believes in giving a helping hand when it is needed. MACC is not designed to be an entitlement program or sustaining income resource. In fact, the majority of MACC programs do not give financial assistance. Instead, MACC works side-by-side with individuals and families to help them manage their own resources better. MACC's staff is trained to see the bigger picture, which is much broader than providing emergency assistance during times of crisis. It means working with clients to develop a plan of action, helping them coordinate services, and serving as a resource and coach until their plan is completed and they are back on their feet.
