Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi: FEED Fund

About

The Community Foundation is partnering with area non-profits to feed children who are faced with food insecurity by providing financial resources as donations are received. Donors may designate a gift to one of the following counties Bolivar, Coahoma, DeSoto, Leflore, Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tate, and Tunica. The goal is to reduce the effect COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, is having on children whose primary nutrition has come from their schools.

In response to the coronavirus health crisis, the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi is seeking donations to feed the youth in each of its eleven counties served. Since hosting a Hunger Summit in 2017, the Community Foundation and seventeen of its partners have been funding efforts to help confront food insecurity among youth.
