(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 16, 2012 ) Jackson, MS -- Devoted to assist families living in poverty throughout Madison County, Madison Countians Allied Against Poverty (MadCAAP) offers several services and programs designed to assist the poor, elderly and/or handicapped individuals. Recognizing a need within the community, a group of concerned and dedicated citizens teamed up and formed MadCAAP in 1985.

Housing Program - MadCAAP's housing program consist of two parts: Housing Repairs and Krista Cottage. Housing Repairs typically include fixing broken windows, kitchen repairs, floor and/or wall repairs, bathroom repairs and floor and/or ceiling repairs.

A typical newly built home includes kitchen appliances, loft to accommodate up to 3 beds, large family room, private bedroom and full bath. The Krista Cottage planned to begin construction in June will be for Annie Lee Griffin and her family who live in the Camden area.
Emergency Assistance- Families and individuals are offered assistance with utilities, prescription medications, rent and groceries.
Clothes and Needs Closet - Provides clothing and household items at no charge to families and individuals who need them. Boxes of groceries are distributed to families in need through the food pantry program at no charge. Monthly food distribution began in Flora in April and is planned to continue on the third Thursday of each month at the Flora City Hall to those qualified.
