Midwest Free Community Papers
Established in 1955, Midwest Free Community Papers (MFCP) is the oldest Free Community Paper association in the nation. MFCP was founded to help its members with every aspect of their publishing business.
MFCP is led by an elected board of directors whose focus is on providing the utmost value to our members.
