    Full Hearts, Full Shelves

    Every year during the holidays, the MTACFE collects donations for a local food bank.  This year, we're collecting donations to support The Store, a unique organization that operates differently from a traditional food pantry. The Store follows a choice-based model and purchases most of the food they distribute to ensure consistent offerings and efficient inventory management. For more information on The Store, please visit the website here. 

    To help make the greatest impact, they have asked that donations be limited to the specific items listed below so every contribution can be put to good use.

    Requested Items

    • 1 lb bags of Dry Kidney Beans
    • 1 lb bags of Dry Great Northern Beans
    • 1 lb bags of Dry Lentils (any color)

    Accepted Brands: Kroger, Publix, and Walmart (Great Value)

    Please Note: All donated items must be within their expiration dates.

    In addition to the food donations, we are also collecting online monetary donations for The Store. To maximize our impact, the MTACFE will match donations up to $500. We will be accepting donations online only. If you'd like to contribute an amount other than the preset online donation options, you are welcome to make multiple donations to reach your desired contribution amount.

    Bean Donations: Bring your donations of dry kidney beans, dry great northern beans, and dry lentils to the December Luncheon on December 9, where all food donations will be collected.

    Online Monetary Donations: The final day to make an online donation is December 9.

     

    Whether you donate food, make a monetary gift, or do both, your generosity will help support families served by The Store. Thank you for helping us make a difference this holiday season!

    Calling all book lovers! The MTACFE Book Club is continuing to read! As noted, we want to mix it up with both fiction and non-fiction, and your recommendations are welcome!

    Our next book will be Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen.

    "Money can’t buy happiness… but it can buy a decent fake.

    Ava Wong has always played it safe. As a strait-laced, rule-abiding Chinese American lawyer with a successful surgeon as a husband, a young son, and a beautiful home—she’s built the perfect life. But in this riveting crime thriller, beneath this façade, Ava’s world is crumbling: her marriage is falling apart, her expensive law degree hasn’t been used in years, and her toddler’s tantrums are pushing her to the breaking point.

    Enter Winnie Fang, Ava’s enigmatic college roommate from Mainland China, who abruptly dropped out under mysterious circumstances. Now, twenty years later, Winnie is looking to reconnect with her old friend. But the shy, awkward girl Ava once knew has been replaced with a confident woman of the world, dripping in luxury goods, including a coveted Birkin in classic orange. The secret to her success? Winnie has developed an ingenious counterfeit scheme that involves importing near-exact replicas of luxury handbags and now she needs someone with a U.S. passport to help manage her business—someone who’d never be suspected of wrongdoing, someone like Ava. But when their spectacular success is threatened in this high-stakes tale of female friendship and betrayal, and Winnie vanishes once again, Ava is left to face the consequences."

    If you can't make it to this one, but you still want to read the book, you can contribute to the MTACFE by buying books through our new page on Bookshop.org! Buying through our page means that 10% of your book purchase will be donated back to our chapter! Purchase of the book is not required to participate in book club; if you can find it at the library or borrow from a friend, feel free to do so!
