Refill Cafe is an incredible nonprofit workforce development cafe in the community of West Jackson. They opened late August 2019 and provide young adults who have fallen outside of the traditional school system with the skills and opportunity to pursue a career path within the food and hospitality industry.

The refill Jackson Initiative's mission is "to empower young adults, ages 18 to 24, so that they're more confident, better equipped, and motivated to enter into, navigate, and stay in the workforce. RJI will have a 10-week training program during which time the participant gains both classroom and first hand experience at Refill Cafe." Some additional things that the program includes for participants include 10-months follow-up support, including paid internships, opportunities for further education and full-time employment. "There will be a total of seven trainings annually with 12-16 participants each."
There are so many ways that you can become involved and invest in this wonderful organization and cafe. Head to their website for more information. And make sure to visit Refill Cafe In Jackson, Mississippi, when they re-open in the new year!.

Have you set your decorative pumpkins out yet? We think there’s one more you need to add to your Autumn display and the best part is that you and your little ones get to add your own personal flair to it! This Sunday, our friends at Green Oak, Brown Bottling Co, Broad Street Baking Co., and Gifts by KPEP are hosting a “Mommy and Me Pumpkin and Floral Workshop” where you and your kiddos get to make some fabulous, Fall-themed arrangements all while supporting Make-A-Wish. We know you probably have a few questions, so read on for a little Q&A on this weekend’s event!

Q: When and where is this event?
A: The Green Oak Mommy and Me Workshop is taking place this Sunday, October 11th at 3:30pm at Green Oak in Ridgeland.

Q: How much is registration and what’s included?
A: Registration is just $72 for you and one child. With each sign-up, you get 2 pumpkins, florals, a pumpkin cookie and muffin (courtesy of our friends at Broad Street Cafe, beverages from Brown Bottling Co., and a personal lesson on fall arrangements

Q: What if I have multiple kids?
A: There are individual kits available for $25 that you can add on to your initial registration.

Q: Did you mention something about Make-A-Wish?
A: We sure did! A portion of each kit purchased will go toward sweet Saylors, a 4-year-old whose wish is to visit Disney World with her family (we’re not crying, you are)!

Q: Is it COVID safe?
A: Keeping you and your little ones safe is top priority! There will be a limited number of spots in the class to ensure social distancing will be maintained. Each workspace will be safe, sanitized, and ready for y’all to have fun!

Q: What if spots run out or I’m not ready to attend an event?
A: We still have you covered! Should we run out of spots, or maybe you’re not quite ready to attend an in-person event, the class will also be offered online. All you have to do is register, then swing by Green Oak to pick up your decorating kits any time before the event.

Q: I’m sold! How do I register?!
A: Registration is a breeze! All you have to do is Venmo your total amount to Green Oak and note your name and how many kids you’d like to sign up. You can Venmo Green Oak in the app at @CJ-GreenOak

Pinball, live music, hot rods… what more could you need?! All three and more can be found at The Station, a 10,000 square foot venue and classic automobile rental service located in Glucksadt, MS. We are so in love with the space and its story, so much so that we wrote a feature on their grand opening last year. So what has the Station been up to since then?

They’ve been busy embracing these socially distant times by creating a custom to-go menu, hosting socially distant (but rowdy) game day parties, and serving as a hub for local musicians (and free pinball). When you walk through their doors you’ll be welcomed by a high energy staff and a mouth-watering menu. You can even book your next football party in their space. So the next time you find yourself craving a little live music or bread pudding you know where to go - The Station.

Demi and Reid's love story began at Mississippi State University where she played softball and he played baseball. "Hailstate!" laughs Demi. When it came to planning her dream wedding (which, by the way, is an actual dream... look at these photos!), Demi couldn't wait for everyone to see. "I'm not really traditional at all so being able to make my day, my day... it's been unreal. Above all, I'm marrying my best friend and spending our day with all of our people!" smiles Demi.
