The Tupelo/Lee County Hunger Coalition is a special project of the Tupelo/Lee County Community Foundation, a CREATE Foundation affiliate, and the United Way of Northeast Mississippi. The Hunger Coalition works with all stakeholders who comprise the food distribution system to better understand the current situation and determine what is needed to eliminate food insecurity for all people in Lee County. Its goals are to connect food programs to resources, to educate the public about food insecurity and to advocate for better resources and funding for food programs.
