Our Mission
Since 1930, Madison Community Services (MCS) has been dedicated to improving the lives of Madison residents facing hardship. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide food, care, and hope to those in need through the power of volunteers and community support. We are proud to be an all-volunteer organization, ensuring that every donation goes directly toward helping our neighbors
How We Make a Difference
Food Pantry
The Pauline Baldwin Food Pantry provides essential groceries to Madison residents, offering fresh produce, non-perishable items, and personal care products. Our pantry ensures that every family has access to healthy meals with dignity and respect.
Holiday Food Baskets
Our Holiday Food Basket Program brings joy to families during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter by providing festive meals. This community-driven initiative spreads cheer and support during the holiday season.
Personal Care Items Program
Through our collaboration with Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N), we distribute personal care items to families in need, ensuring they have the essentials to maintain their health and dignity.
A Legacy of Hope: The Story of Pauline Baldwin
The spirit of generosity lives on through the Pauline Baldwin Food Pantry. In 1994, Pauline Baldwin, a long-time Madison resident, left a bequest to feed the hungry in our community. Her connection with the Madison Lions Club, whose members assisted her during difficult times, inspired her to designate them as the beneficiary of her estate. Her incredible generosity laid the foundation for what has become the heart of Madison Community Services.
Today, her legacy continues to nourish families and support our neighbors in need. What began as a modest operation has grown into a vital community service, thanks to the ongoing support of volunteers, donors, and the Madison Lions Club. Together, we proudly carry on Pauline’s mission of caring for Madison’s most vulnerable residents.
