Amelia Cook donates to MadCAAP

Recently, Cantonian Amelia Cook set her eyes on making a donation to MadCAAP. “MadCAAP is so near and dear to my heart for so many reasons,” said Cook. “Through my charity, Cakes for a Cause, I was able to raise money and buy food for their food pantry. If you don’t know what Mad- CAAP is, it is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families living in poverty. 

They provide clothing, food, education, and camps year-round for families in need in Madison County.” “Not only that, but the church that my family helped plant meets in their facility, so I feel an extra special bond and desire to help them in all of their efforts.” “As we were counting some of the food, they expressed how they needed exactly 1,500 boxes of mac and cheese in order to begin their preparation for their Thanksgiving bags. A true sign from God, with the mac and cheese I brought, they had exactly 1,503,” said Cook. “I thank God every time I’m able to do things like this, but it would not be possible without the help from my community. Thank you so much to everyone who supported this drive; there will be many more to come! I can’t wait to meet sisters at Magnolia State that are like-minded in community service and partner with them to help even more people,” she said
