Excel Commons Family Community Center is the heart of Main Street in Okolona. What began as a summer youth program in three borrowed classrooms in 1988, has turned a former department store into the community hub.
To call the Sisters of Excel Commons, S. Elizabeth Brown, S. Nancy Schreck, and S. Jean Meyer working together with the dedicated staffers and volunteers who serve Excel friends of our food pantry doesn't do them justice. They are our family! Although I've only been volunteering at Mission Okolona for a couple of years and been a board member for little over year, I like the whole town of Okolona I'm certain have witnessed how dedicated the mission of Excel is to the success of Mission Okolona.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic
From donating food to providing us college student volunteers to even inviting us to use their facility to store cold storage food as their facility has been close due to the pandemic, the Excel Common family's help was only a phone call away.
