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, 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.

ensuring the future of the Hospital by providing an avenue for individuals,

invitation to the community to assist with this project. They would like to welcome all current and
past members of the community and service area to make a donation to the Ellett
