Meet our New Board Members!

Richard Mauney represents the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, which is one of MAC’s founding congregations located on Peachtree Street near The Fox.  He works at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank) which is active with MAC. Richard has an identical twin who works for the Federal Reserve here in Atlanta.  He is thinner and does not have a beard.  His name is Randall but feel free to call him ET for Evil Twin if you like.

Richard first became involved in MAC when he joined the Outreach Board at Redeemer.  He helped promote, collect and deliver items from their annual Summer Food Drive, which is going on right now. He has also been involved in several service projects for MAC at FHLBank. As a board member, Richard is looking for a way to put his time and resources to work to continue to the support those living on the edge of homelessness not just survive but thrive. “I feel like anyone of us could be in the same situation if circumstances in our own lives had been a little different,” he suggests.

Wendy Silliman is a member at All Saints’ Episcopal Church and real estate partner at Troutman Sanders.  She got involved with MAC after the closure of Peachtree & Pine as she was concerned about the decrease in resources for the working poor of Atlanta.  She would like to see an increase in visibility of MAC with the congregations, particularly All Saints’.

Adam Weinstein represents the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  FHLBank Atlanta is committed to serving as an active corporate citizen in the local community. The Bank is focused on activities that can make a difference and impact the communities where employees live and serve.

Adam got involved with MAC because he believes in MAC’s mission to provide emergency assistance to low-income working Atlantans to help prevent homelessness and hunger during periods of crisis.  “Many of us are lucky enough to have a financial safety net, like a savings account or close family members that can help us out in an emergency.  However, there are thousands of hardworking people in our community that are not so lucky and are one medical emergency or loss of a job away from going hungry or losing their home,” he says. As a board member, he hopes to spread awareness about the organization and encourage others to get involved to help fulfill MAC’s mission.
