Jackson Metro - March of the Mayors

It’s BACK and much BIGGER than before…

Extra Table is excited to announce the March of the Mayors is BACK for 2024 in the Jackson Metro Area.

What is the MARCH OF THE MAYORS?

Extra Table is harnessing a little bit of that Mardi Gras spirit for the greater good. Our mission is to feed our food-insecure neighbors through a partnership of Mayors, hence the ‘March of the Mayors.’

Over 50 Mayors across 5 regions of the state have agreed to participate in Extra Table’s 4th Annual event, MARCH OF THE MAYORS! It’s a canned food drive, a fundraiser and it’s a food box packing party complete with Moon Pies, Mardi Gras beads, volunteers and an event t-shirt all rolled into one jazzy Second Line with a mission to feed hungry Mississippians!

PACKING PARTY - March 6th

9:00 am

Christ United

The March of the Mayors is a 4-week-long event, driven by donations of specific food items, that will benefit Extra Table’s partner food pantries. Each participating city is collecting one specific food item that will be dropped off at different select locations. Food collection lasts for 4 weeks with a final box-packing party where LOTS of volunteers are needed. ALL FOOD collected in the Jackson Metro Area will stay in the Jackson Metro Area going directly to Extra Table’s partner food pantries!
