Need Assistance?

Midtown Assistance Center’s staff is working remotely to provide assistance with:

   -rent payments (eviction protection)

   -utility bills (disconnection prevention)

   -food/groceries

   -MARTA cards for employment

We are helping with rent and utilities, but we no longer take applications directly for financial assistance. MAC is working with ARCHI (link below) to accept cases. Please note that due to an extreme volume of cases not all applications will be sent to MAC.

Please read below about MAC’s program, and other assistance programs. There is also legal advice hotlines and agencies, as well as other financial assistance agencies in Fulton county. We can potentially help with Food and/or MARTA for jobs/interviews – see the Food Resources section.

MAC currently serves 10 zip codes in Atlanta – 30303, 30308, 30309, 30310, 30312, 30313, 30314, 30315, 30318, and 30363. http://midtownassistancecenter.org/request-help/

ARCHI Rental assistance application
Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement (ARCHI) will be working with agencies to distribute their cases to programs that might be able to help. MAC will put a section and link to their form on our website Request Help page. Due to the high volume of requests, not every case will be placed with an agency. Here is a link to the ARCHI website application https://archicollaborative.org/research-resources/help/

For questions please email Relief@ARCHIcollaborative.org

Food Resources
If you need help with Non-Financial Requests we have a form on our website to request Food, MARTA, New worker support, ID vouchers etc. (within MAC’s 10 zip codes 30303, 08, 09, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, and 63). MAC has a client choice food pantry and will custom pack up food for you to pick up based on your requests. We are currently open for appointments to pick up Tuesday – Thursday each week. Below is a direct link to the form, or you can access it from our website via the orange oval Non-Financial Requests button.

Click Here – Non-Financial Requests
If you are unable to complete an online form, please call our office in the mornings – Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10AM – 12PM. 404-681-5777

Individuals can find a local food pantry nearest them by visiting www.ACFB.org/get-help or by texting ‘FINDFOOD’ (COMIDA for Spanish) to 888-976-2232

If you need Food Stamps, call the Atlanta Community Food Bank at 678-553-5917 between the hours of 8:30am – 4:30pm for help with benefits screenings.

***PLEASE NOTE: When giving assistance MAC never asks for money to be paid to MAC or any of our employees. We always have clients pay their portion directly to their landlord or utility company. Do not become a victim of scammers claiming otherwise.

We are not able to accept Food or clothing donations at this time, and would encourage financial donations via the Make A Donation button to help us buy gift cards to mail to clients and provide financial assistance in lieu of dropping items off at MAC.
