JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
Have you been wanting to give back to your local community in a more hands on way but do not know how or where to start? Well, today is your lucky day y’all! We are going to get inspired by the Mississippi Food Network! The Mississippi Food Network does AMAZING work all over the entire state and within local communities!
In our state today, about 1 out of 4 Mississippians do not have enough food to eat. Unfortunately, Mississippi has the worst hunger problem along with being the poorest state. The two go hand in hand with each other. It is not impossible to grow from those rankings, but it will take a lot of work. Thankfully, The Mississippi Food Network has made a huge effort and impact in trying to lose that number one spot.
The Mississippi Food Network has been giving back to the state of Mississippi since 1984, with their 40th birthday just around the corner! In their first year, they were able to donate 139,000 pounds of food to those in need. Today, the Mississippi Food Network distributes more than 21.2 million pounds of food each year! How amazing is that? The Mississippi Food Network really is like no other!
All the food that is donated to the food bank goes to serval locations. The donations go to local food pantries, youth programs, soup kitchens, senior citizen programs, day care facilities, disaster programs, shelter programs and human service programs. There is always a way for you to become involved by donating to any of the locations listed above that are in your local community.
The Mississippi Food Network also has endless opportunities to physically volunteer at fundraisers or events all over the state. One way to be in the know on locations and dates is to always visit their website! You can sign up and register to volunteer directly at msfoodnet.org! Make sure to check out the Mississippi Food Network daily to get involved and help end hunger within your community and very own state! And remember to always get inspired!
