Marshall Area Community Services, Inc. is a volunteer organization formed in the 1950's to provide EMERGENCY assistance to families and individuals. We help people in the Marshall area set by the school district boundaries. We maintain a food pantry and give food to people in need who contact us. We may also provide help with clothing, utilities, gasoline, lodging, and other emergencies. We also provide gift and food baskets for Christmas.
