Charlie Jackson, Plant Manager and Angela McKinnis, Human Resource Manager of the Sara Lee Bakery in Meridian presented the check to Marilyn Blackledge, Director of Development for Mississippi Food Network with representatives of the member agencies.

MISSISSIPPI FOOD NETWORK FORGES PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER JACKSON More WOODFOREST CHARITABLE FOUNDATION MAKES DONATION More A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING We all have those people in our lives - the ones who don�t need anything - because they already have everything. So, we are left with the question of "What do I get them for their birthday, anniversary, or that special occasion?" Well, let us help you - make a Tribute gift to the Mississippi Food Network in honor of that special person. When you send us a Tribute gift to honor someone, we will notify them they have been honored with a gift to the Mississippi Food Network. Additionally, a Memorial gift is a way to celebrate a loved one�s life. Many families and friends feel that a Memorial gift is a meaningful way to honor one�s memory. The families will receive a letter acknowledging your gift made in memory of their loved one. For more information, please contact Marilyn Blackledge at 601-973-7086. WANT TO HELP DO SOMETHING ABOUT HUNGER IN YOUR COMMUNITY We are looking for non-profit organizations and/or churches to open new member agencies to help us feed hungry people in our State. There are several counties in our service area that are underserved because there is not a member agency or there are not enough agencies to serve everyone. If you know of an organization and/or church that would be interested in becoming a member agency of the Mississippi Food Network they can contact Desiree Dillon, Director of Agency Relations at 601-973-7085 or ddillon@msfoodnet.org for more information.
