Macon County Association for Home and Community Education is a Non-Profit Organization which offers educational programs to their members and others in the community regardless of race, color, sex, religion, creed or national origin.   Many of our members volunteer throughout their communities.  They make blankets for traumatized children in hospitals, shelters, etc.  Make and collect items for our soldiers overseas and our forgotten veterans who are in need.  Provide learning experiences about health education, nutrition, family and consumer economics, and personal development.  We are 1 out of 85 Illinois counties united together.
