1st Mississippi has partnered with The Carter Foundation this year as a drop off location for their annual toy drive. It's always a pleasure to help those who are striving to have a positive impact on our community and youth.
Feed A Family
Our goal with "Feed A Family" was too able to reach our community in a more personal way. This meant getting our membership involved with recognizing families in need. In order to qualify you had to be nominated and your name was put into a random drawing. We chose two families from Lauderdale and & Clarke County. We hope to have made this Thanksgiving a little bit more special! Happy Thanksgiving!
