How It Works
Three simple steps to participate in our community food sharing initiative
Businesses Register
Local clinics, barbershops, pharmacies, and offices join as welcoming community collection sites.
Neighbors Donate
Community members drop off canned goods, pasta, and shelf-stable items at participating businesses.
Families Pick Up
Walk in during posted hours, take what you need. No forms, no questions, no waiting.
No applications. No long lines. No stigma.
Just Mississippi taking care of Mississippi.
Why We're Doing This
As healthcare providers at Quinn Healthcare in Jackson, Melissa Quinn, MBA-HCM, ACHE, and Dr. Timothy Quinn have seen firsthand how food insecurity affects Mississippi families.
This November, many families are facing challenges accessing food. Rather than waiting for solutions to come from elsewhere, we asked ourselves: "What if our clinic—and other businesses like it—could become places where neighbors help neighbors?"
In collaboration with other committed Mississippi businesses, we launched Share to Care Mississippi—a grassroots movement that turns local businesses into community food hubs.
"When your nutrition is in jeopardy, your health is in jeopardy."
— Melissa Quinn & Dr. Timothy Quinn
