WORKSITE INFORMATION
Jackson is the capital city of Mississippi and is known for its
hospitality to visitors and fine Southern cooking. Many areas of
Mississippi are very rural as cotton farming was the main industry
for decades. These rural areas, as well as the inner city, are
stricken with poverty, illness, and teen pregnancy. In 2005
Hurricane Katrina hit the coast, which is about 3 hours from
Jackson. Many of these victims relocated to the Jackson area and
are still in a state of recovery. Due to the devastation on our
coast, many of our local charities have suffered because resources
have been spread thinly. Your time and service here will be
greatly appreciated by the residents of Jackson. Most of the
projects are minor home repair, but there are a couple of projects
assisting kids in a summer program and some serving social service
centers.
