Destroying Poverty Founder Hosts Food Giveaway

WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI)- Even though the economy is booming, Mississippi is still dealing with one of the highest poverty rates in the country.

Scherell Quinn was inspired to create the organization “Destroying Poverty”, to help tackle this problem.

On Saturday,  she organized food giveaways at three different locations: West Point, Maben, and Columbus.

Quinn was able to collect non-perishable items, and different foods that people can use to make a Thanksgiving meal.

Quinn says she knows what it’s like to struggle, and she wants people to know, there are always others willing to help.

“Some people need help and they have family members that can help, and some people need help and they don’t have anyone,” Quinn explained. “We all come to a point where we need help.”

Quinn collects clothes and food for those in need all year round. For more information on how you can help, visit Facebook.com/DestroyingPoverty.
