communities they serve. “Not everyone is aware of who we are and what we can do for those in need,” says Vaughan. “We need help in spreading the word so those who are in need know that there is help available to them and we are more than willing to provide it.” Always working hard to make improvements to their programs and processes to better serve the community, MCCAA has recently streamlined their application process, made relevant information more accessible, and improved their outreach methods. “We are constantly working on making our programs and services better and better each program year,” says Vaughan, a Cheatham County native who is tirelessly dedicated to giving back to the community that raised her. For her, the agency’s mission is personal. “It doesn’t have to happen to me for it to matter to me,” she says with compassion. “My hope is that the community will say that we make a difference. ” Over the next couple of years, the agency plans to further grow their support within the community, striving to become an area leader in empowering those who feel trapped in the grim cycle of poverty. There is a way out!
