About the Volunteer Center

The Atwood Community Center Thanksgiving Program during the month of November. There is a food drive held and MATC students volunteer at the Center to sort and distribute dinners to families in the community.
An Empty Bowls Project in February, where volunteers sell and purchase pottery from local artists and all proceeds go to local the food pantries.
The Winter Warmth Clothing and Accessories Drive is held during the winter months for area pantries.
