Union church of Christ hosts event to provide resources

With unemployment high and the small town of Union located on the Neshoba-Newton county line, everyone in the community is not eligible to receive food distributions in Neshoba Co. A 20 mile drive limits access to the Baptist center for many families in need. The church in Union held it's first community outreach Oct. 2nd
Thirty-one families (98 adults and children) came for clothing, household cleaning products, food items, prayer and counseling.
The church plans a similar event in the spring.

Food boxes at Neshoba Baptist Center

Update: Neshoba Baptist Center

Increased nutritional value and stocked shelves are the result of Glenn Jackson's actions at the Baptist Association's Center. A collaboration with Wal-Mart management and completing the necessary requirements to be approved in the MS Food network took place over the summer. Wal-Mart is now sending overstock in produce, frozen meats, shell eggs, and deli-breads. The association can also purchase bulk food items at low-cost through the food network.

Any individual or family in need of supplemental food is eligible to participate. There is application to complete. Food box distributions are Tuesday mornings at 9:00 a.m.
The Baptist Center is located at 903 Valley View Road in Philadelphia.
