MS LIFT rolls out resources for rural families

LEAKESVILLE — Mississippi LIFT is taking educational resources on the road as part of an effort to reach families in rural communities, including a recent stop in Greene County. More than half of Mississippi children under age 5 live in rural areas, according to MS LIFT’s 2025 Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan. The organization is working to expand access to resources in rural and low-resourced areas through its Resource and Referral Network, including mobile units.
