“Traditionally, agencies have held a MARC to help assist clients during a disaster, in a setting where all assistance is available at the same time, in a centralized location,” Jenna Hull, director of programs and services at United Way of Adams County, said in a press release. “Our community non-profits have now chosen to do this twice per year to raise awareness of the services provided in Adams County and to help people with transportation issues to find all agencies in a ‘one-stop’ shop setting.”
