Organizations support Magnolia Medical Foundation’s Children’s food Pantry

The Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health partnered with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Rho Lambda Omega Chapter to restock the children’s food pantry at the Magnolia Medical Foundation. Infant formula, juice, baby food, and various snacks were delivered Saturday, March 4, 2023.

“The high cost of food plus the increasing cost of basic life necessities has caused families to lean more heavily on food pantries,” said Dr. Sandra Melvin, CEO, Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health. “Our mission is to reduce health disparities. Providing healthy food options is just one way we meet the needs of the community.”

Asia McCoy, program manager, Institute of the Advancement of Minority Health and Ronda Morris, Project Director, Magnolia Medical Foundation are pleased with the items collected for the children’s food pantry.

Located at 256 E Fortification Street in Jackson (MS), the Magnolia Medical Foundation is a community-based organization which provides preventive health services to high risk and underserved individuals and communities.
