Having MAC Home available to those in need is close to my heart. I have personally known people who are homeless due to circumstances beyond their control. Thankfully, it was a for a short period of time, the need was there just as it is here now. Merrill is a very caring and giving community... Thats what Merrill does, it gives back!
