9,000 chickens and 12,600 boxes of Louisiana Fish Fry Cornbread Stuffing Mix were delivered to 59 Extra Table food pantry partners across Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. (November 19, 2024) – Shared Health, a health insurance company that offers the Shared Health Dual Plus (HMO D-SNP)SM and Shared Health Dual Freedom (PPO D-SNP)SM health plans, partnered with Extra Table, a Mississippi nonprofit food bank, last week to make sure more Mississippi families have what they need to make this a happy Thanksgiving.
Shared Health teamed up with the non-profit food bank, Extra Table, to donate 9,000 chickens and 12,600 boxes of Louisiana Fish Fry Cornbread Stuffing Mix to 59 of Extra Table’s food pantry partners at distribution points in Greenville, Shannon, Gulfport, Hattiesburg and Jackson for the Henny 500. The Henny 500 was a two-day, five-city distribution of the Thanksgiving food items.
“We are sincerely thankful to have a partner like Shared Health support our mission to feed more hungry Mississippians. Providing more food to more tables this Thanksgiving is something we can all be grateful for.”
Each food pantry received approximately 150 chickens and 210 boxes of Louisiana Fish Fry Cornbread Stuffing Mix.
“For most people, the holidays are a festive time,” said John Cole, chief executive officer of Shared Health. “However, many people don’t have the extra funds to provide themselves or their families with a traditional Thanksgiving meal. It’s our hope this donation of chickens and dressing helps those in need celebrate the season with their loved ones.”
