Helping Madison Residents in Need
During the Holiday Season
The Madison Eagle Christmas Fund (MECF) began 50 years ago when Barbara Valk and her family chose to remember a small number of senior citizens by delivering holiday gifts. Soon after, Louise Easton, the new owner and editor of the Madison Eagle newspaper, partnered with this kind family and the MECF was born.
From this modest beginning, our charity of volunteers has grown to ensure hundreds of Madison families and senior citizens receive grocery gift cards to splurge on a holiday meal, and to give them the joy and opportunity to choose their own warm winter coats and gifts.

The MECF is planning to help more of our Madison neighbors this holiday season than ever before.
We will expand our outreach to all families receiving free and reduced lunches in Madison schools, to families with young children in the PreSchool Advantage program, and will offer assistance to all senior citizens living in Madison Housing Authority residences and the Pine Acres Nursing Home.
Please consider the MECF as part of your holiday giving.
