Holiday needs
Nov. 21, 2008:
I work for Mississippi Childrens Home Services here in Jackson and am doing a “Coats for Kids’ drive for the children at MCHS as well any children in the metro area that made needs coats. So far I’ve only had 2 people donate about 6 coats, but MORE ARE NEEDED! I’ve really been driven to help not only my babies at MCHS, but other less fortunate children as well, especially now since it’s the holiday season, and would appreciate if you guys could mention this in the JFP.
Please feel free to contact me at 601-720-3837 if you have any questions!

The Salvation Army and close to a hundred volunteers are expected to serve over 1200 meals both at the Center of Hope, 110 Presto Lane from 12:00p.m.-1:00 p.m., and by delivery to the elderly around Jackson. Over the past 20 years, The Salvation Army has provided a warm hearty meal on Thanksgiving Day, which now has become a traditional event. Last year over 1000 meals were served with the help of 90 volunteers.
For more information on this event or volunteering with The Salvation Army, contact us at 982-4881.
