The Midtown Utica Community Center

Weekly 5 points!

There are no excuses for being bored in our community.

We're looking for a new sexton! In charge of ensuring a clean and well maintained MUCC building as well as scheduling and managing of volunteers and vendors to help clean and repair our shared space. Sexton will also serve as contact for any of the building needs.

Please find below the current list of Utica food pantries. It not only provides listings of pantries, but also provides information on: food closets, food banks, soup kitchens, congregate meal locations, food boxes, vouchers, etc.

Come join the fun! Thank you Ryan!

The Job Corps Scholars Program addresses the financial barriers associated with attending a two-year or four-year college by covering student tuition and fees, as well as other costs that will hinder students from successfully completing the program. This program will also deliver personal and employment counseling that will prepare youths for having a meaningful career especially in the technical manufacturing industry. If interested, contact Monalisa Htun at 315-334-7761 or [email protected]
