How to Give

MDC works hard to provide housing, healthcare, education, and employment services to more than 20,000 individuals each year, and we can’t do it without the support of the communities we serve. You can make a difference for those in need of help by making a donation.  

People are hurting in our community, and you can do something to help. Last month our MDC offices were visited by Sandra. When we arrived in the morning, we found her trying to sleep in a doorway outside, exposed to the weather. And when we talked with Sandra, she needed food, a place to clean up for the day, and somewhere else to sleep the next night. We gave Sandra some food and spoke with her about screening for housing, to help her with her immediate needs.  There are many people like Sandra outside in our community every night.  With your help, we can make a bigger positive difference in their lives.
