Morningside’s Finest: Maurice “Moe” Mitchell

Committed and reliable are just a couple adjectives that perfectly describe the gentleman simply known as "Moe."

Although Maurice "Moe" Mitchell is not a stranger to most in MorningSide (Former MCO board member and Gleaners Volunteer) many may not know of the true impact he has made in this community.

Since its inception in 2019, Moe has been present for each and every Gleaners Food Distribution. From the blistering heat in the summer days, to the windy cold winter days, Moe has made the flow of each one nothing less than smooth and steady for those retrieving goods.

MCO's 1st VP, Twiana Odom has often stated, "the Gleaners Food Distribution would not be as successful as it has been if it wasn't for Moe."

Prior to the city increasing its efforts to board up vacant properties in MorningSide, Moe was often one of the faces you would see on site boarding up open structures throughout the neighborhood.

Outside of his commitment to MorningSide, Moe is a master carpenter and a proud father of three adult children and a even prouder grandfather. We appreciate Moe's contributions to MorningSide as he is the true definition of a community leader.
