LIFTING EACH OTHER UP

“People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.”

Michelle Obama

A thriving community lifts everyone, especially those who have been overlooked or underserved. Our youth and marginalized neighbors deserve our unwavering support as they navigate challenges and pursue their dreams. Whether through mentorship, outreach programs, or expanded services, we must create opportunities for connection and equity. By uplifting one another, we can make Starkville a place where everyone has the chance to succeed and contribute.
