For 40 years, Midtown Assistance Center (MAC) has been a lifeline for hardworking Atlantans—helping families avoid eviction, keep the lights on, and put food on the table. To mark this milestone anniversary, we brought our community together like never before for our first-ever Big MAC Bash!
The Big MAC Bash wasn’t just a party—it was a celebration of the people, neighborhoods, and hope that define MAC. The night was filled with:
Creative food stations featuring burgers, tots, and neighborhood favorites from the zip codes we serve.
A live performance by the acclaimed Joe Alterman Trio, whose joyful, dynamic jazz kept the energy high all evening.
We honored Dorothy Chandler, MAC’s Director Emeritus, for her tireless advocacy, and reflected on the powerful stories and milestones that shaped our first 40 years.
Midtown Assistance Center provides prevention-based support to low-income, working households in 10 Atlanta zip codes surrounding Midtown and Downtown. Our goal is simple but powerful: to keep families housed, employed, and hopeful. For four decades, MAC has delivered emergency assistance, stability programs, and dignity to those we serve.
