It's now just about that time of year. Everyone is getting busier and busier, but as you're going through your Christmas shopping list, don't forget less-fortunate community members.

Christmas in the Park

Jackson's homeless community needs you this holiday season. Sweet Rock Missionary Baptist Church's (1233 Valley St.) second annual Christmas in the Park is Dec. 22 at Poindexter Park (200 Poindexter St.). Call 769-257-0815 or 601-291-8687 to help them feed the homeless or to get more information.
