About Mississippi Food Network

Mississippi Food Network Inc centers its grantmaking on free food distribution for people facing hunger and related hardship, with repeated support for Jackson-based providers and other local feeding sites across Mississippi. The largest recent awards in the data go to Gleaners Inc and The Gleaners of Jackson, both in Jackson, for food provided without charge to homeless, elderly, handicapped, mentally ill, battered, poor, or otherwise needy men, women, and children. That same service model appears throughout the recent grants list, showing a consistent emphasis on direct food assistance rather than project-based program design. The foundation’s approach reaches several community-serving organizations that appear year after year. Ebenezer Apostolic Ministries, Friends of Alcoholics, Christian Services Inc, Feed by Faith, Care Center Ministries Ms, Vine Place Community Outreach, Our Daily Bread, Hearty Helpings, Brookhaven Outreach Ministries, and Pinelake Care Ctr-starkville all show up in the recent data, usually with the same food-to-needy-households purpose language. Those repeated awards point to ongoing operational support for local food access work, especially for organizations serving vulnerable adults, children, and families. Mississippi Food Network Inc also extends this support beyond Jackson to places such as Hattiesburg, Meridian, Brandon, Canton, Greenville, Brookhaven, Greenwood, and Starkville.

What Mississippi Food Network Funds

Food distribution is the clearest thread in the recent grants. Mississippi Food Network Inc gave $3,653,662 to The Gleaners of Jackson for food provided without charge to people in need, and it also supported Food Access work through recurring awards to local feeding organizations. The same pattern shows up in emergency and basic-needs relief. In Jackson, the foundation gave $2,151,386 to Ebenezer Apostolic Ministries for the same free-food purpose, and another Jackson grantee, Friends of Alcoholics, received $1,685,187 in 2025 for direct food assistance. The grant record also points to support for community meal providers in other Mississippi cities. Christian Services Inc in Hattiesburg received $1,461,140 in 2025, Feed by Faith in Meridian received $1,501,552 in 2025, and Our Daily Bread in Canton received $1,008,362 in 2025, all for free food to people described as homeless, elderly, handicapped, mentally ill, battered, poor, or otherwise needy.
