MACC Fashion for Good

MACC's Mission

Manchester Area Conference of Churches, Inc. provides food, clothing, shelter and advocacy for the unmet basic needs of people in our community.

"Fashion for Good is a fun way to support the work MACC Charities does for its communities (Manchester, Bolton, Glastonbury and South Windsor).  MACC is an organization that truly was "fashioned for good" by its early founders (its member churches) starting in 1973.  With your help, MACC can continue to serve its original design well; to serve those in need of the basics of life:  food, clothing, shelter and help.  Come join us November 2nd  at Manchester Church of Christ for fun, information, goodies and more at the show!  Don't miss hearing great fashion advice from Claudette Fried and seeing all of the new fashions from Coldwater Creek and Mariella Creations.  It will be a great time!"

Beth Stafford, Executive Director
