The Midtown Assistance Center empowers our neighbors by providing needed resources to weather short-term crises. We provide both financial and non-financial assistance in 10 zip codes. Midtown Assistance Center operates with a qualified staff and a core of trained community volunteers focused on the following areas of assistance.
MAC’s increase in space and easy access to public transportation has greatly enhanced our ability to be a life raft when our neighbors hit rough waters, helping them maintain their housing, pantry, and dignity as they work to get back on their feed.
The MAC team works with each of our neighbors in need to help them receive assistance as quickly as possible. The MAC assistance line is open Tuesday – Thursday from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Meetings are available by appointment only and can be scheduled online or over the phone. The interview spaces allow for the MAC staff to speak with each client about their experience and needs.
Neighbors in need of non-financial help can start here: Need Help Request – Non-Financial or call the assistance line. Those needing rent and/or utility assistance can check the website for openings in the rent and utility referral or call the assistance line for help.
