SUMMARY: A Mississippi nonprofit has joined forces with several organizations to ensure people have food during the latest drought. This collaboration aims to provide food for Thanksgiving, with reporter Keaundria Milloy sharing more about the impact. Nine nonprofits in the Pine Belt region distributed free Mississippi-grown chickens from Extra Table, prioritizing those in need. This move comes from the difficulty families face in cooking turkeys, preferring smaller, more manageable chickens. The campaign will deliver 9,000 chickens across Mississippi, intending to alleviate food insecurities and positively impact the state's economy. This effort also addresses the significant need for food across Mississippi, with multiple organizers contributing to feeding efforts for the holiday season.

The organization delivered 15 boxes of whole chickens to nine nonprofits in the Pine Belt on Monday.
