During weather-related emergencies, our Extension locations often serve as warming stations, distribution sites for basic supplies and bases of operation for first responders, but for us, our people remain the most important resource.

As communities across north Mississippi continue recovering from the Jan. 23-27 winter storm, MSU Extension coordinators and agents have been assisting local officials, county emergency managers and first responders since before the storm to help those in need.

Here's how we've taken action: https://ow.ly/V5Wp50YbR5T

Thankful for the Black community leadership in Lexington and Holmes County that supoorts the LFP volunteers assisting the community.

MS Food Network

This Black History Month, we honor the strength, leadership, and resilience of Black communities who have shaped Mississippi and continue to lead the way in caring for one another. From neighbors and volunteers to partners and advocates, Black leaders have long been at the heart of the fight against hunger. We’re grateful for the impact, the history, and the work still moving us forward together.
