Giving TO MDC
The generosity of the community makes it possible for MDC to help make an apartment a home for a young adult who was previously homeless, to ensure that thousands of homes are able to keep the power on and hundreds of families will have a place to call home this winter.
Without the support of the community, none of this is possible. The struggling economy has put a greater demand on MDC services while donations are shrinking. This year, your support to MDC and the community is crucial. Listed below are a few ways that you can help make an important difference.
