Overview
Mission
Mason Community Services is committed to networking regularly with local government, businesses, churches, schools, service groups and individuals in an effort to share resources and provide financial, physical, educational, emotional assistance and hope to the underserved in our area. If no resource is available, we work with these same groups to create solutions in the belief that stronger families create stronger communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
Transportation. We have a van that is used to provide rides to those without transportation resources. We drive them to doctors appointments, the food bank, pharmacy, therapy, jobs, and assistance resources. In 2025, we met 196 transportation requests, helping 26 people, and gave out thirteen $50 gas cards. The expenses for this program include van insurance, repairs, maintenance and fuel. In 2025 we were also able to help people with auto repair bills so they could continue to get to work.
