Happy Friday y’all! Thanksgiving is less than a month away and it is that time of year when it is important to give back to your community. Today we are going to get inspired by a local non-profit that does amazing work all over Mississippi! I am talking about the Mississippi Food Network!
The Mississippi Food Network has been giving back to the state of Mississippi since 1984. 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
One thing that the Mississippi Food Network loves to help coordinate and plan is food drives. All the food that is donated at the food drives is used to restock local food pantries, youth programs, soup kitchens, senior citizen programs, day care facilities, disaster programs, shelter programs and human service programs. If you are interested in having your organization host a food drive, you can contact Stacy Cain at [email protected] or call 601-973-7089.
The Mississippi Food Network also has endless opportunities to physically volunteer at fundraisers or events near you. Their website lists their serval programs that they offer, which are also great ways to get involved. One way to be in the know on locations and dates is to always check their website at msfoodnet.org. Their upcoming volunteer Saturday dates are November 11th and December 9th, which are just in time to give back before the holidays!
Again, The Mississippi Food Network does outstanding work throughout all of Mississippi every day. There are numerous ways to become involved right in your hometown or the towns surrounding you. It is a daily and constant fight to reduce the amount of hunger in our communities, however, it is an issue worth fighting for. Make sure to check out the Mississippi Food Network’s website daily to get involved and help end hunger within your local communities! And remember y’all to get inspi
