The
Appleton City Ministerial Alliance meets throughout the year providing
community services and opportunities for the area churches to gather together
for worship. Additionally, the ACMA
helps people through the region in a variety of ways. In 2023 the ACMA founded the Tony Reynolds
Memorial Scholarship, which is a $1000 scholarship awarded locally to an area
student pursuing continuing education post-high school. Some in the community have asked about the
ability to make donations directly towards the scholarship fund that are not
used in other ACMA endeavors. At any
time, you may make donations towards the ACMA and they encourage you to do
so. You may make donations at any of their
community meetings, or feel free to contact one of the ministers serving in the
ACMA for more information.
Funds are
needed for the backpack program. Trinity United Methodist Church in AC houses
this project, which is funded by you, the community. They now are sending 37 packs of food home
with school kids weekly. Donations may be made to: TUMC, with memo: Backpack.
Thank You.
