In Holmes County, Mississippi, partners from multiple sectors have assembled to establish the Lexington Food Pantry. A collaboration between the city of Lexington, the county, MSU Extension, private citizens, and others, this group overcame extraordinary odds to build a successful food-relief organization.

Residents of Falcon, a town in Quitman County, Mississippi, had limited access to resources to support a physically active lifestyle. Through community engagement, support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and work by MSU Extension, they now have new pocket parks, as well as a rehabilitated basketball court, where young people and adults alike can be active.

For many years, Pandora Redmond has served the people of Greenville, Mississippi, in Washington County through the Hearty Helpings Food Pantry. In partnership with MSU Extension, she is now able to provide additional services and meet new and greater needs in the community. Redmond also is able to provide healthier options for the people she serves because of the work she and Extension have done together.
