You read the harsh news every day that times are tough. Businesses are closing. Tenured employees are losing their jobs left and right, causing homes to go into foreclosure and vehicles to be repossessed. In a harsh economic climate, many non-profit groups can’t survive, either.
Stewpot’s needs only grow during a time like this. With more and more people out of jobs, more people need food, decent housing, jobs and childcare. That’s the purpose of Stewpot. While much of the financial support comes from church congregations, Stewpot receives the majority of its funding through individuals and businesses.
Taste of Mississippi is the largest fundraising event for Stewpot, and last year’s event raised more than $112,000 for the organization’s 17 ministries. Help make that amount even larger this year because Stewpot needs your help more than ever. Tickets for the event are $65 in advance and $80 at the door. You can purchase tickets online at http://www.tasteofms.org/ or by calling Stewpot at 601-353-2759.
