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.

The 27th annual
Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger
​Food Drive is on
​Saturday, May 11, 2019.
The Marshall Post Office is participating in this food drive. The letter carriers will be leaving a reminder postcard and bags, for donated items, to be placed by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11th. All food collected will be delivered to MACS for distribution to families who need our help in the Marshall area. The shelves of our pantry are getting low and in desperate need of restocking. MACS greatly appreciates all post office employees for their help with this food drive.
