Make a Donation
Since 1982, Madison Emergency Services Association (MESA) has been dedicated to serving the needs of the Madison County, VA community. We operate as a vital resource, offering a comprehensive Food Pantry, essential Client Services, and access to supplementary resources.
While we sincerely appreciate all forms of assistance—including volunteering, resource sharing, and food donations—we rely primarily on monetary contributions to support our annual operational expenses.
Please consider making a donation to MESA; your tax-deductible contribution will help provide food and supplies to those in need within our community. Your generosity significantly contributes to sustaining our mission.
Contributions can be submitted via physical checks dropped off or mailed to our pantry, or through digital donation via our PayPal link provided below. Your support is instrumental in promoting the long-term health and well-being of our Madison County residents.
MESA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Join Our MESA Volunteer Team!
Contributing to the well-being of our Madison County community has never been more accessible. Our volunteer schedule offers flexibility, allowing you to participate in as many or as few shifts as your schedule permits.
We frequently require assistance with unloading trucks and organizing food donations received from our partner donors—including Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Martins, Trader Joe's, Sheetz—and private donors who contribute daily. There are also opportunities to engage with clients by volunteering during Food Pantry hours and assisting with the distribution of eggs, milk, meat, and hygiene bags.
