Description:
The Mississippi Food Network is a 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse that
receives donated food and non-food products that are distibuted
to non-profit AGENCIES. The agencies then serve needy individuals.

Our mission is to relieve poverty-related hunger in our service
area by distributing donated and purchased food and grocery products
through a network of member churches and nonprofit organizations.
We provide nutrition education to our needy clients. We also
emphasize advocacy and related needs.

proper record-keeping; food handling procedures and avoiding
duplication of service.

order size. Periodic visits to member charities are conducted
