Mooresburg Community Association
Our Sponsors
Food, friends, and fellowship help people become more neighborly. Our local sponsors ARE our neighbors…literally. They lift us up and engage with our community center and thrift store on a daily basis. They stop by with food. They drop off a check. They deliver “good stuff” to our Friends & Family Thrift Store. Our national sponsors believe in what we are doing and send their support. Other national sponsors reach out to Mooresburg, TN…Some have even been able to visit and see our work in
action and experience the beautiful mountain views.

Founded in 1985, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. MAZON means “food” or “sustenance” in Hebrew.

Short Mountain Silica and Short Mountain Trucking have been an ongoing supporter of the MCA. Located right in Mooresburg, they have generously provided food for our pantry as well as donating a mobile home to be used as the new Thrift Store, and matching our pet food amount from our 2023 MOW Pet Grant.
