The MTA is committed to building strong partnerships with local organizations, businesses and community groups to make a positive impact in our community. Whether it's organizing food and clothing drives, volunteering in local events, or joining local efforts that lift up families, our members are proud to stand alongside community partners and create meaningful change. Together, we work to ensure that our schools, and our community, thrive.
