Celebrate responsibly.

While you’re out enjoying today’s Second Saturday Artwork, look for donation jars in the shops and restaurants around Old Town to help support the Hancock County Food Pantry.

The Food Pantry, the only full-time one in the county, has been helping individuals and families for 30 years and last year spent more than $167,000 to buy 265,000 pounds of food to give away to 12,495 people from 7,003 families.

The Food Pantry is operated by an all-volunteer staff. We thank them for their good work.

Financial contributions also can be sent to P.O. Box 4313, Bay St. Louis, MS 39521 or donations can now be made through PayPal on the Food Pantry web site at hancockcountyfoodpantry.org.

Second Saturday Hot Spots this month are Bay Books and Something Special, both on Main Street.
