Food, meals provided

In an effort to provide Thanksgiving meals to families who otherwise may not experience the joy of a traditional holiday dinner, the Mississippi Department of Transportation collected nonperishable food and fully prepared meals to be donated to our local children’s shelter and families of Warren County.

Without the support from the staff of Cedar Grove Bed & Breakfast and Mutual Credit Union this could not have been possible. We can’t begin to tell them how much we appreciate their spirit of giving and thoughtfulness during this season. We would also like to show appreciation for Heavenly Ham and Goldie’s Express.

The joy of being remembered by others is not something that can be bought and paid for. It is the gift of giving from the heart.

We sincerely thank them for all their help and support for our community!
