The Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi teamed up with Dr. Pam Chatman with Boss Lady Economic Planning & Development and donors Archie and Olivia Manning to assist with the recovery efforts from the 2023 tornado disaster that hit Rolling Fork, Mississippi and surrounding areas. Through this partnership, the Foundation has been able to turn renters who lost their place homes into homeowners that now have a place to call their own. The efforts so far have been extremely successful in providing hope and safety to those who have already received the keys to new mobile homes valued at $100,000+. The most recent presentation was to two veterans, one of which is disabled and received a handicap accessible mobile home specialized to his individual needs. Before the end of the year, we hope to clear FEMA’s list of renters who are in need of housing. We only have 22 left. Will you help us clear the list?
