Mission: Feed The Hungry
The following organization provides nutritional assistance to those in need throughout the Jackson, MS area: Seeing a rising need amongst the residents of the community, the Turning Point Mission Center created a Food Pantry Ministry. Through the Food Pantry Ministry, Turning Point Mission Center has provided nutritious food to those in need for over eight (8) years. In an effort to help relieve poverty-related hunger throughout their service area, Turning Point Mission Center strives to provide food to individuals who are homeless, the working poor, families and/or individuals experiencing a crisis and those who are in need of one-time assistance. The Food Pantry Ministry typically serves families and/or individuals twice a month on a regular basis. The food is usually distributed on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month and includes nutritional packaged, canned or frozen foods. Fresh produce such as potatoes, lettuce and other fruits and vegetables are also distributed when available. To qualify for assistance through the Food Pantry Ministry, individuals must contact the Turning Point Mission Center to receive an application. The Turning Point Mission Center strives to meet the nutritional needs of each applicant in a timely and professional manner. In doing so, all applications are processed within 24 hours from the time they are submitted to the Turning Point Mission Center. All Food Pantry Applicants must provide proof of identity as well as proof of their residency. Applicants will also need to provide proof of the number of individuals within their household.
