Our mission is to serve as a resource for our Madison County neighbors in need, and our vision is to build community by empowering neighbors. We uphold the values of Community, Compassion, Dependability, Dignity, Empathy, and Responsiveness.​

We offer assistance primarily in two areas: Financial and Food. Financial assistance is provided on an as-needed, case-by-case basis and can include help with electric bills, rent/mortgage payments, fuel, medical/dental expenses, vehicle repair, and other life needs. Food and personal hygiene items can be provided through our Food Pantry.

MESA's programs and services are provided by a small dedicated staff and passionate volunteers, funded exclusively through donations and grants. The generosity and participation of the community are what makes it possible for MESA to continue its mission.

​We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, (including gender expression) sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from public assistance programs, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program of activity funded by USDA Rural Development.

​We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our services, how to get involved, and how to support our mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in need.
