We are grateful to United Way of Northeast Mississippi for not only their financial support, but also for the many resources and individuals they have connected Mission Okolona with over the years.
To say that our nonprofit food pantry could not do what we do without the support of United Way of Northeast Mississippi (UWNEMS) is a matter of fact. From ensuring that our shelves are filled with food to providing us with workshops and introducing us to a network of corporations and other food pantries who benefit us in many ways, Mission Okolona has been truly blessed to have the continued support of UWNEMS.
