On Thursday, September 12, 2024, the Leadership Pinebelt Class of 2024 is partnering with Extra Table to provide 10,000 meals to the Edwards Street Fellowship Center food pantry through Extra Full, an innovative new one-pot meal service for the state. Volunteer with us to feed more hungry Mississippians.

What is this one-pot meal? Extra Full is one of a kind for Mississippi! Each package includes a four-serving, one-pot meal that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. The Southern Red Beans and Rice meal uses Two Brooks Farm rice grown in the Mississippi Delta, red beans, and a spice and vitamin mix. It’s high in fiber, low in sodium, and has 22 vitamins and minerals - important items that food-insecure Mississippians' diets lack. This project will be the first of its kind in the Pinebelt! Once completed, Extra Table will be able to replicate the program regularly.

Get your T-shirts and aprons here, and plan on wearing them to volunteer!
