Marco Island Academy Receives United Church’s Christmas Offering

This Christmas season, the United Church of Marco Island Missions Committee, chaired by Michelle Hennessy, selected the Marco Island Academy (MIA) “Food for Thought” free lunch program for their annual Christmas Offering. According to Samantha Arago, Director of Operations of UCMI, there was a tremendous outpouring of generosity and the collection brought in $28,852.28, which will go directly to funding lunches for students of low-income families.

Jane Watt, Founder of MIA, and Hilary Noyes, MIA’s Board Member were present in worship on January 7^th to accept the donation for MIA. The offering is collected throughout Advent, however, on Christmas Eve 100% of all plate cash goes directly to the Christmas offering.
