What We Do
We envision dynamic programs and activities for all ages, from preschool to seniors. We see a coalition of volunteers, parents, young people, government officials (city, county, and state), law enforcement groups (local and statewide), businesses, local leaders, faith-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, the community itself and any other community group, who would benefit and support a wider range of classes, events, entertainment and sports activities. We are committed to maintaining and cultivating the MACC as a jewel of cooperation and sustainability in which we can all take pride
How We Make Things Happen
In summary, the MACC will provide family and individual experiences for people throughout the county of Lenoir. In an effort to impact the lives of specific segments of the population we will offer an array of
activities that will prove to be beneficial for the participants. These objectives will be accomplished through the activities created to support our belief of “Empowering People…
Enhancing Communities… Embracing Challenges”. Contact Us Link
