The pantry is stocked through generous donations from individuals and business as well as through our partnership with the Mississippi Food Network. Over a hundred thousand cans of food are donated each year. Occasionally items such as sugar, canned fruit, cereal, and peanut butter, which are in constant demand, must occasionally be purchased by Stewpot.
Like many of you, the novel coronavirus has caused us at Stewpot to evaluate our daily activities and make decisions about how to keep our loved ones safe while continuing to minister to very real needs. The great news is that, during this crisis, Stewpot is still operating. We are still providing essential services, like food, clothing, and shelter to our neighbors in need.
MFN takes donations from multiple sources, and distributes food and goods through 430 member agencies. They, in turn, distribute to recipients in their own communities.
