MPC  is a consensus based coalition that is governed by our meal provider members.  Each member of MPC has the right and opportunity to guide the work of the coalition and its paid staff at the monthly MPC meeting, or through committee involvement.

While each member is vital to the success of the coalition, we would like to specially recognize and thank the committee volunteers for 2010.  It is through their dedication and hard work that MPC is successful in its mission to support meal programs in the greater Seattle area.
