Martin said that people of all ages pitched in, even high school students. The cases are expected to arrive at a local church in Jackson that will distribute them. Shipments are being made on trucks from Mobile to Jackson. Martin estimates about 50 or 60 cases per truck. A large truck left Tuesday morning while a smaller one had already departed.
“Every case counts,” said Martin. “Anytime our young people begin to grow and volunteer in their own city, it helps everything.” Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
